Inexpensive(non surplus) 7.62x54r ammo

Wondering where to find inexpensive non corrosive 7.62x54r ammo...or is the non surplus ammo all $ .80 to $1 per round?

I'm not really sure inexpensive and noncorrosive go together in 54R.  I am also not sure why you would bother since it is easy enough to clean up any bolt action you'd be firing.  I can't think of anything else that shoots 54R, but I'm a newb myself, so if you're looking at something firing 54R semi-auto then yeah, noncorrosive would be important.

For ammo in general I have an RSS feed on slickguns.com and I watch for deals there.  http://www.gunbot.net/ammo/rifle/762x54/ might also be of use to you.  Generally speaking shows are going to be the best deal because of the way shipping costs jack up the price per round.  That said http://palmettostatearmory.com/ periodically has free shipping deals and so do some of the others.

Hope that helps.

I have been told that Walmart carries new production 54R at about $.50/round, and that it is pretty consistent.  Once I've got my PU zeroed I'm going to give it a try with some of the new stuff just to see how it does.
