Cheapest place to get 7.62x39 ammo

About 2 weeks back, the Gander Mountain near me had Wolf HP for 1.79 per box of 20. (The stuff in the black box with the wolf's head logo. Said non-corrosive)

$89.50 per thousand, + tax.

Usual price for that ammo @ Gander Mtn is $1.99 per box of 20
 
As far as I know Wolf really IS noncorrosive. But also as far as I know, Russian military doctrine still uses corrosive (or what some call "semi-corrosive") primers because apparently these primers are far more reliable under sub-zero conditions. It's easy for us to forget that most of Russia is a frozen iceburg much of the year.

HOWEVER, having said that, I'm also a cheapskate and shoot corrosive milsurp ammo most of the time. The way to keep it from ever harming your rifles is to clean the bore, chamber, and bolt throughly with ammonia-based Windex while the barrel is still hot from shooting. When the patches come out clean, run a couple of dry patches through, and finish up with one soaked in oil. Yeah, it means an extra ten minutes at the range, but it also means the regular cleaning at home takes no time at all.
 
I have been shooting the wolf in my sar-1, and so far no signes of corrosion, I clean with Breakfree clp when I get home or a few hours later.
The sar has a crome lined bore as do all of the AK variants from the former soviet bloc.

Wolf claims to be non corrosive.
 
DF357 - Go to Four Seasons in Woburn. I picked up a 1000 rnds of Wolf 7.62X39 for less then $100. Carl always has some in stock and it's a great place to buy. Check out his web site at FSGuns.com . With the way things are around here in Mass, We have to support our gun stores as much as possible. Carl just makes it easy.
