Goodbye 7N6

[Fredkrueger100]

No, the BATF always sucks.

I'd much rather shoot a non-corrosive round, but the spotty availability and 10¢ per round higher price makes/made the 7n6 a much more attractive round to shoot. Now they'd better get to ramping up on Wolf, Bear, and Golden Tiger, as there is one hell of a big void to fill. I'd load up on x54r while you can; I'm sure they'll find a way to halt importation of that at some point, too.

I've been trying to tell people that sooner or later, all imported ammo is going to go away. I still believe that.

I have a feeling you are right about banning all imported ammo at some point. I hope it never happens but the way things are in this country it's only a matter of time.

Roger that. DingleBarry and the Boyz would love to make it happen.

Apparently this has been two years in the making.

Commercial 5.45x39mm is available at the same price as commercial 7.62x39mm...around $.25 a round.

Still a heck of a deal.

Hard to see the value of that deal when you've been buying 7N6 for 11-12 cents a round. Ah well, all good things must come to an end.

Perhaps it is time we embrace the notion that shooting is not the cheapest of activities we can spend our time doing.

So who is going to be first to sell their "hard to find" 7n6 for an ourageous price?

Good question. A friend of mine has a whole case of it. I almost bought a case a couple years ago but changed my mind.

I spotted these prices on 7N6 at the Wanenmacher show yesterday, courtesy of Shooters Surplus Ammo on the lower level:

t was a progression. It started off at $415 a crate in the morning, and was $569 by the time I went home. I thought of buying a crate in the morning, but held off. Should have acted on it, but needed the cash for other things. I saw it in a few places, all for way over $500/crate. One on the west side of the upper level had one crate @ $570. Brutal.

Why would you pay the same price for corrosive surplus when you can buy Wolf for at least the same price, prob less.

Accuracy and terminal ballistics and performance are better.
