Best place for corrosive surplus ammo (bring a bottle of soapy water) - for me has been: ~$0.20/rnd or less.

Then; the local Gun Shows - miwalls always has bulk mi-surplus ammo for cheap.

Then; SOG http://www.southernohiogun.com/ (their website is commonly out of date; call them; if they have anything left on clips; buy it - good stuff)

After that... I've seen many people compliment: http://wideners.com/itemview.cfm?dir=18|190|191 - Although in my case I'm stocking up for both Mosin's and PSL's therefore I only look for light ball. If you are only doing a Mosin; you can get Heavy Ball as well.

Otherwise; run through the list I maintain on this thread; just hit all the C&R folks; be wary of shipping prices; they vary ALOT. http://www.calguns.net/calgunforum/s...ad.php?t=70073

I've had good luck with private party sales on this forum as well as others. Another good place is J&G Sales in Az and Sportsmanguide. You're doing good if you can get em around $50 per 300 or so. This is for surplus (corrosive) of course.

If they won't ship to your city (ie: Marin, Napa, Ventura and Yolo counties, CA; Los Angeles, Oakland, Sacramento and San Francisco), then get them to ship to a friend or family member.

The hard part is finding ammo that isn't "magnetic" and can be shot at the SoCal ranges. ammunitiontogo had some that was kind of pricey at $207 for 420 rounds in an ammo box. Sort of midway between surplus and what you have to pay at big5.

If your near Sacramento, River City Guns has plenty of Milsurp 7.62X54
