Milsurp After Hours

Nice looking collection Nick. How is the price of ammo over there is it readily available.

No problem getting ammo as of yet. I can get a tuna can of Romanian, Bulgarian, or Russian for about $130 dollars...roughly 85 pounds. That's 440 rounds of pure shoulder pounding fun in a can!

I've tried the Russian 188/82 and Just bought a can of Romanian. I didn't have a single misfire with the Russian but last time at the range one of the Romanians had to be banged out. I'm going to order a crate (880 rounds) of the Russian and one of the Bulgarian to keep around and then buy more as I use it. Sooner or later I'll have to buy some PPU and save the brass. Reloading is not totally out of the question for me but I am fighting it for now. I dont need another hobby right now. When I finally get a sniper I'll have to try some carefully prepared loads to get the best results. I have seen posts here and there where some guys say that's the only way to get good groupings. I have pretty good luck with the mass produced stuff but have been only shooting open sights so its hard to gauge...

Re loading is the way to go but it is also a very addictive hobby. I don't know wether I shoot to reload or reload to shoot. I love reloading and find it a very satisfying and relaxing pastime. Then there is cast bullet reloading that's a whole new learning curve I'm currently spending all my spare dosh buying bullet moulds from NOE moulds in the States. I quite fancy a Nagant sniper my self its on my wish list along with a load of other stuff. It's never ending.

Yes, Hooked!

Great collection!
