    What is the updated price? I just saw an 880 crate in classifieds for $390. I assume that’s an absurd price? Or have we reached stupid pricing levels?

    That’s 44cents a round
    I saw tulamo at Walmart for 55cents a round

    Old corrosive milsurp always seems to shoot as well as Wolf and I alway clean my Mosins hot anyway.

    PPU seems to shoot poorly. I like the reloadable PPU cases but grouping is usually poor and never consistent year to year. PPU is usually 60cents a round or more at the gun shows.

    Can get 2 cans from SG for ~370 shipped. $0.42/rd. That's the cheapest on ammoseek. But yeah, 54R surplus dried up.

    Keep in mind that the market price may not sell. There's a seller in NOVA wanting to sell his for $.25 / round and it has been sitting there since 11/14 - last I checked a few days ago.

    WOW!!
    I guess I better hold on to the cans I still have. I stocked up long ago back when the crates were $99.
    Todays prices make it worth reloading 54R.
