One comment on the projectiles for the Mosin Nagant. First off, it is .311 or .312 in diameter, you can slug the barrel to find out exactly, while the .308 is just that, .308. If you do use the .308 bullets, they will work, but they are sloppy and accuracy will suffer. Whatever you do DON’T use a .311 diameter bullet in a .308 or you might find your life becoming interesting in a hurry. <BR/><BR/>If you have a 91/30, 44, or one of the Finnish types, they are designed for a 147 gr. bullet, while the sniper version is designed for a 203 gr. As always, find out what your particular rifle likes to digest. The East Block surplus ammo is quite reliable, tends to go Boom every time, (After all, it was designed to kill us) but as with any steel case, it is difficult to reload, although not impossible. Consider ALL surplus ammo to be corrosive even if it says otherwise. It is ALWAYS prudent to clean your weapon after shooting anyway. A good net resourse is http://7.62x54r.net. Check it out, there is lots of good info there about the MN rifles. They are cheap enough that extras can be purchased, set up for underground storage with some ammo, and will be available years down the road if needed. <BR/>Discount ammo can be had at http://www.jgsales.com/product_info.php/ammo-for-rifles/7-62x54r/p/7-62x54r-bulgarian-light-ball-fmj-ammo%2C-steel-case%2C-440-rd-tins-/cPath/12_42/products_id/1789. 440 round Spam cans are $79 each or save a buck and get 2 or more for $78. A month ago they were $10 less, but I’ll bet they are not going down in price anytime soon. The ones that I got are Bulgarian 147 gr. made in 1980. If you get 2 or more spam cans, they come in a sturdy crate with an opener. <BR/><BR/>Keep your powder dry (And consider burying some!)<BR/><BR/>Skip in Kansas CityH2SO4_guyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11308529689228747834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6594902428992225313.post-34701449928043920782009-01-17T14:25:00.000-05:002009-01-17T14:25:00.000-05:00I think in our climate of fiat currency in a situa...I think in our climate of fiat currency in a situation where the printing presses are going as fast as they can serious deflation is probably not likely.Ryanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09612373437033635765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6594902428992225313.post-75516979561684762732009-01-17T11:56:00.000-05:002009-01-17T11:56:00.000-05:00I knew I saw some somewhere this morning.

Get other 12 gauge shells at Wally World and buy the #8 shot box of 100 for about $23. It's Federal rounds and they make good stuff.<BR/><BR/>You have plenty of food? The defense end of things is pretty popular with most guys but you gotta have food or you will be defending skinny people.<BR/><BR/>But you are doing well with what you are reporting and I say prep on.<BR/><BR/>MichaelStaying Alivehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12833293437407206880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6594902428992225313.post-16676881305614954262009-01-17T00:26:00.000-05:002009-01-17T00:26:00.000-05:00Hmmmmm..... .308 is a NATO round.
