Any places have both 7.62x54r and 8mm surplus still?

I've been digging through threads here and bookmarks of online ammo stores looking for a place that has decent/good prices on both 7.62x54r and 8mm mauser ammo.

It seems I can find places that have one or the other in stock, but when it comes to both, either one or both calibers are sold out, etc. I see www.jgsales.com has Bulgarian and Czech 54r, but the only 8mm is slightly expensive German & the picture w/ corrosion on the one round isn't exactly comforting either. Plus I don't know too much about the German 8mm (need to search, I know)

The last bit of 54r I got was Bulgarian from AIM surplus... They have 8mm for an OK price, but now their surplus 54r is out. Seems like I'm going to have to just bite the bullet (ha) and order from separate places and pay more for shipping.

Anyone see any places online that have both for decent prices?

Not to jack the thread but be careful of the steel cased German 8mm. Many users have reported that it rusts from the inside, creating a very thin case which ruptures when fired. Just a safety issue to look out for.

I've been looking for cheap 7.62 x54r ammo and it has seemed to have dried up from what it was 3-4 months ago. Anyone else notice this?

J&G has some '54R Czech and Bulgarian.

Century Arms has some Bulgarian. I believe SOG still have some too. I haven't been able to log into their site since they changed it, but I get their flyer every month.

Nobody seems to have any 8mm though.

AIM has Nazi surplus.

And what is the hard part about ordering from 2 places?

Just trying to save a little on shipping, etc... AIM has Romanian 8mm for $3.95/20rds ($0.1975/rd) right now, which is just about the best price I can find. Shipping adds a bit to that as well, obviously. I probably am going to end up buying some 8mm from there and 54r from elsewhere.

I always end up waiting to purchase ammo until the next local show, but then it ends up no one having what I'm looking for or they are asking ludicrous prices for it.

I was a bit leery of the German 8mm as it was, thanks for the heads up.
