[QUOTE="ronny, post: 900741, member: 8853"] Cheapest ammo is generally 7.62x54. However, the Russian Mosins, while great fun to shoot, aren't consistently the best shooters. For accuracy, I'd recommend a Swedish Mauser in 6.5x55 or a Swiss K31 in 7.5x55. There is still Swiss military surplus ammo available, GP-11, which is exceptionally good stuff. Both the 6.5 and 7.5 are not cheap. You can generally find a good Mosin for about 1/3 to 1/2 the cost of either of the other two. Mosin $120 K31 $300 Swede $350 I haven't actually priced a K31 or Swede lately so these may be a little off. [/QUOTE]
