Cheapest Rifle Ammo

[Drakejake]

What is the cheapest calibre rifle ammo (other than .22 lr)? I mean brand-name factory ammo, not reloaded ammo or Korean war military surplus. In other words, what calibre is the cheapest to fire with new, brand-name ammo?

Thanks,

Drakejake

7.62x39mm, cheapest I found= $1.30 per 20 rounds

UMC/Remington makes ammo for several rifle calibers in .223--.22-250--7.62x39--.30 carbine---.308--.30-06 and .303 British.


Federal/Eagle---makes a few but not sure exactly what.

And I have seen Winchester white box in .223 and 7.62x39.

That pretty well sums it up... Wolf is sometimes close though. Other than .22 -- any of the military calibers are primarily the least expensive. .223, 5.45x39, 7.62x39, .308, 9mm, .38, .45, 9x18, and some more.

I think I saw a 1,000 rounds of 7.62 x 39 for 79.95 recently.
Sure, it's steel cased and Berdin primed and can't be reloaded, but for that price who cares???
Compared to .22 it has even more bang for the buck.

Cheaper than Dirt once listed 20 round boxes of 7.62x39 Wolf for $1.19.

don't forget to factor in shipping to your location...

7.62x39mm < $70/1K
5.45x39mm < $80/1K
9x19mm <$105/1K

including shipping from century arms or ammoman

9mm was from pmp, brass cased and reloadable too
