Going to be purchasing my first AK in the next week or 2 and was wondering what I can expect to pay for a case of ammo. Anyone have good case prices currently? Saw the post on here from the place in NH but thats a hike from me which would kill the savings.

What is the average price on a case of 7.62x39 these days?

Go to Collectable Arms & Ammo in Merrimack, NH. They just posted on their FB that they're lowering the prices on 1000 round cases of golden tiger x39 ammo to $235! They were $250 before - which wasn't a bad price either.

I usually start with www.ammoseek.com as a pricing benchmark when locating boolits. You can sort the results by price/round and by round count. Looking like about 0.21/rnd, around $210 for a case is your benchmark (plus shipping). Compare to local prices with tax.

Thanks guys for the help! I was quoted $400 for 1k rounds(didn't specify ammo brand either) from the place I plan to buy the rifle from.. it was the only in state benchmark I had to go off of to this point.
just looked and that place is 2 hours north minimum.. would be looking for something a bit closer or if someone was going there I would gladly buy 2 cases cash.

$400 is robbery....should be $250 or less.....
Prices have been dropping slowly. I wouldn't pay more than 25c/round.

Walmart has it for $5.47 a box, or about 27 cents per round. Cases for $250 or less have become readily available, with the Golden Tiger at Collectible arms being the best deal out there.
40 cents for AK ammo is outrageous, especially in bulk.

There's good deals out there. You just have to watch for them. I've seen it for $130/640 in sealed spam cans. That's a little over $0.20/round.

Just remember... not all 7.62x39 is equal. Golden Tiger is hands down the best out there now when it comes to non corrosive. Brass cased Yugoslavian is the best when it comes to corrosive ammo with Ukraine made Wolf not far behind.
What makes Golden Tiger better?
It's listed as 124GR while most other 7.62x39 is listed at 123. Not sure if that makes any difference at all but I can say accuracy is better with GT than any other steel cased ammo I've used. I read somewhere that a different bullet is used in the manufacture of GT.
All I know is I notice a difference in my SKS and AK variants when shooting it.

may be heading to Collectable Arms with 1 other sun AM, anyone around Andover welcome to tag along. Calling sat to see if any left, if none I may not be going.
Thanks. All I've ever shot is Ulyanovsk or Tula so I don't have a point of comparison.

It's a Boat tail which is better for accuracy and primer and Head is sealed, which is good if you store in a Basement. I put one of these and a Tula in a cup of water for a week and the G T was dry, Tula was not.
You might have to buy 20 cans to get the deal but its there. That's 2600 bucks. Cash up front. You're buying bulk brother.
