| So what ammo should I been stocking up? I was thinking of getting 500rds of Golden Tiger and 500rds of Ulyanovsk. Or should I get a thousand rounds of just one kind? |

Here's a great place to check ammo prices quickly.
Currently the cheapest 7.62x39 out there is the surplus yugo stuff. It's very accurate and hot compared to wolf and other steel case, but is corrosive. Bonus though is you can either sell the brass cases for scrap, or now that Tula is making berdan primers for US sales, reload them. |

That's a good site. |

Get some Golden Tiger. Yugo is fine ammo, but why buy 20 to 30 year old ammo to stash/store? I really don't see it being better than GT. Yugo probably has better performance in tissue then Golden Tiger, as it starts to rotate considerably faster (within 2-3 inches). |

I recall reading that Golden Tiger has the same type of bullet as the Yugo ammo, ie an air pocket in the tip which causes it to tumble once it strikes/hits/enters any medium |

I don't have it here in front of me, but I do remember how amazed I was by the size of the air gap. Whether it preforms like the M67 bullet I don't know. |

How do you guys blow thousands of rounds in one shooting trip? I shoot maybe 200 from my AK, 90 from my M4, and 500 or so through my .22. I would feel like I wasted a lot of money if I blew off 1000 rounds just plinking. Some people just have larger amounts of expendable income. I'd feel much less like I wasted alot of money shooting a couple of thousand rounds in a day's worth of shooting than I would having several drinks in a bar, costing three to five times what I could buy it at a liquor store for or blowing 300 to 500 with admission and tailgating parties with food and drinks just going to watch a football game......thats what I consider wasteful. At least with shooting, I'm improving my skill and have something to show for my expenditure. |
