I got to this thread late, so I'm not sure if any of this will help, but here goes.

7.62: a great round, so good our military and most of the free world uses it. Consequently, because of the war, a lot of it that would be available for us to buy is going to kill our scumbag Muslim enemies. As a result, the price has shot up (no pun intended) over the last year and a half. There is some good Indian surplus stuff out there, and maybe some South African, but the price for both of these was way up the last time I went shopping for ammo. I haven't seen any of the really good Portuguese and Israeli surplus stuff for a while now...hopefully there will be some at the gun show tomorrow.

7.62x39: also good, doesn't hit as hard as the 7.62x51, though. Numbers approximate the .30-30 from what I've seen, which makes the 7.62x39 soft point a good deer round, too. Prices have almost doubled over the last year, also likely due to the war and Chavez stocking up for that Yankee invasion he's been talking about for the last few years.

7.62x54 and 7.92 (8mm Mauser): both are old WW1-2 rounds, used by the Sovs and the Germans respectively. Plentiful and CHEAP! Better yet, Mosin-Nagants and Turkish Mausers are cheap and effective rifles, and if you have a Curio and Relic license, they can be delivered directly to your door. No, I don't sell these, but I do highly recommend them. Mausers aren't as sexy as AKs, HK-91s, FALs, but they do the same job just as good, and you can use 'em on your next deer or elk hunt, too.

Happy shopping...enjoy it while you can, bro.
