i'm looking for more 7.62 x 39 mm ammo... nothing in town but wolf and some brown bear.  Northwest Loading online only has wolf and golden tiger....

i haven't been able to find any "better" grade ammo since i puchased 900 rds. of winchester white box stuff and 500 rounds of Federal American Eagle about a month ago.

have you guys had any luck? any and all suggestions and referrals would be much appreciated.

I much prefer Golden Tiger to Wolf, hotter and cleaner.

brown bear(barnaul) is probably the best and most accurate stuff I have ever shot

Copes Distributing has Golden Tiger for $159.99 + shipping (1000 rnd case)...it's the best deal out there right now...and Golden Tiger is good stuff. I don't think any local gunshop, sporting store is going to beat that price.

Honestly, I like good old Wolf black box (polymer coated, no case mouth sealant) better than anything I've shot thus far.

Whats wrong with Brown Bear. I like it a lot better than Wolf. Winchester and Federal are going to cost $$$. Around here they run $12-15  for a box of 20 and thats when you can find it.

There is nothing wrong with Brown Bear

Unless you are reloading why spend the extra cash on brass cased ammo

i like that deal on the golden tiger. i'm calling first thing monday.

i have 500 rds. of brown bear already.  the indoor range i go to won't let me shoot it, and the weather here in AZ is just starting to let up so that i can fit some outdoor shooting into my schedule.

thanks for the suggestions. i just wanted to make sure i wasn't missing anything that's available ....

Been a bunch of better stuff available online.

Watch Aim surplus and Wideners reloading.

The Prvi Partizan 7.62x39 seems to be out, but its brand new production stuff.
More will come.
The Prvi is brass cased, boxer primed, high quality and a bit hotter than the Ruskie fare.  Prvi is made in the countries of Serbia and Montenegro.

What I've seen lately is Igman.  Also brass cased and boxer primed.  Should be pretty similar to the Prvi.
Igman is made in Bosnia.
Bosnia is the first Muslem country in Europe. (In modern times)

I'm not sure if I really want to send them my money.
But honestly, it won't matter.
All the ammo they send over will be purchased.

If you're eventually going to reload teh 7.62X39 cartridge, the Igman is a great buy.  

Save the brass.  Or... even sell it on the EE and shave off some of the higher expense of shooting Igman vs Golden Tiger or Wolf.
