Hi KingANuthin;
Don't know what neck of the woods you're in, but if you're anywhere near an Academy or a Wally World try there. Our Wally World's are only getting sporadic supplies of Tula 7.62x39 (once every few weeks) but Academy is getting it regularly at $5.99/box of 20. These days I'm only seeing FMJ and JHP, the 154gr JSP I like so much is notable by its absence.
Good luck and all the best,
Grumpy

$.70 a Round
Ammunition sales, handgun, rifle reloaded ammo, remanufactured ammunition
Still pricey but one of the best deals available these days.
A smaller quantity here of Remington for $.80 a round.
Remington 223 Rem 55 Gr. 200rds
I don't know anything about the company. Never ordered from them so check the rec's.

wallyworld priced tula X39 @ 6.25/20 rounds. still good bit cheaper than any .223/5.56mm.
10 bxs came in, I grabbed 2 of the three box limit. none since then afaik.
most of the pistol rounds are gone asap also.

I picked up some "Herter's" x39, softpoint brass/boxer at the Cabela's in Reno yesterday for $11.99/box of 20. Not bad for hunting ammo that is reloadable. It is rebranded S & B ammo (which works without a hitch in my M30). I don't think it is available online, but is stocked in the brick and morter stores. There is a 5 box/day limit at Cabela's on centerfire ammo. BTW, they had lots of "Herters" .223 @ $6.99/box but it is some kind of rebranded steel case ammo. Good luck!

Ammoman has the 440 rd box on strippers of the green tip 62 grain. My mini prefers this load.

You folks shoot Tula in a Mini-30?
I am a recent Mini-30 owner (582-26xxx series, so pretty new, but gotten used at my LGS for a very good price) and read quite a bit about ammo issues with it that boil down to "doesn't like cheap commie ammo w/hard Berden primers"
I had about a 30% fail to fire rate with the TulAmmo and Golden Tiger. No issues with Silver Bear, Fiocchi, and PMC.
I wish it would handle the TulAmmo, I can get that all day at 5.99-7.99/20, the Silver Bear I can get sometimes for 8.99/20, the Fiocchi mostly all the time at 11.99/20 and the PMC sometimes for 22.49/20 (only got one to try it out at that price)
When I am at the range with a bunch of folks I would prefer to go with the steel cased stuff so I just have to clean up (if required). When I am alone or only with a few others an/or where it is easy to *FIND* my brass (and as we know, the stock setup will toss brass almost as far at 4 o'clock as it sends lead downrange) I shoot the brass (which I plan on reloading)
So, how is it your M30's handle the Tulla, but my relatively new one will not handle it?
It is *STONE STOCK* atm, that is going to change (very much) over time though...

X39 is hard to comeby right now, I have a bunch of Tula ammo and some Yuly as well, but I only use those in my AK, for my Mini 30, I bought a bunch of Winchester White box, and ordered 1500 brass empties when it was affordable. I also just got a couple of orders in for the .310 FMJ projectiles of 1400 per order from Midway adding to the ones I already have. I hate the stupid prices that are being charged out there thats why I reload, and the Mini 30 get's the good stuff
The 582 series Mini-30 I purchased in November shoots the Tula just fine although I do not plan on making a habit of it. It seems that some are just more finicky than others.
This thread is about 7.62x39.
Over time I have gleaned that from this and other forums. Oh well... I love her, but she's a picky eater.
