Thread: Ammo availability: A slack retailer?

So I went to the range this morning and needed another box of 140gr 6.5x55 (S&B) and 123 gr 7.62x39 (PRVI) afterwards. The local 'out there doin it' shop only had Winchester (x 2 boxes @ $60ea!) for the 6.5x55 and Tula for the 7.62x39, which the guy pulled from out the back. Not even PRVI, highland, S&B, barnaul on the shelf... apparently they are having difficulty getting PRVI.

What am I missing here? I'm not a guy who puts too many holes in holes so don't need flash stuff, but I'm not into cheap dirty stuff either.

Am I just having a sook, or is there not much 7.62x39 around? the 6.5x55 seems a bit slack too - they're a dime a dozen for the old sporterized CGs.

Cheers, Feral
