I am looking for some 7.62x54R ammo in OKC. It needs some non-magnetic bullets so I can shoot at H&H. Cheap and non-corrosive is a bonus.
H&H says no steel jackets, core, etc.
I believe Outdoor America carries some Wolf at a decent price, but it is steel jacketed. Super Pawn in MWC had a single package of what they claimed was Brown Bear. Regardless of brand, it was magnetic.
My Brown Bear soft points also have a magnetic jacket. All of my surplus is magnetic and probably steel core.
I purchased some Winchester WB at H&H for $$$. When I called up there, they said they had it, but it wasn't range safe. When I stopped by there I decided to double check and indeed they had the Winchester WB, and despite my mentioning the earlier conversation they said I could shoot it ??? So out to the car to get my MN. It definitely was magnetic too, but nice brass case. I only shot 10 of 20rds, I am curious if I will be let me in the door next time with it.
It seems all of the 7.62x54R is either steel jacketed, or soft steel core.
I don't really plan on shooting my Mosin Nagant 91/30 too often and I could just go to an range that isn't concerned about the ammo. I go to H&H at least twice a week and if I find appropriate ammo I am more likely to shoot. Plus I am a horrible shot at 25/30yds, so a longer range isn't going to do me too much good unless I practice. Finally I enjoy the excellent ventilation at H&H.
BTW, in my mind $.20/rd is cheap (surplus online), $.50/rd is decent (local Wolf), $1/rd is my limit and $1.35/rd (H&H WWB) is too much.
