I was just browsing an online ammo website and found some corrosive 1950s era military surplus 7.62x25 Tokarev ammo.
The price was 24 cents a round for bulk quantities (1000+ rounds) of the stuff!
Not too many years ago, virtually any corrosive ammo sold for under 10 cents a round and surplus 7.62x25 Tokarev was available in bulk quantities for 5-6 cents a round. Even at today's prices, I can buy new production, non-corrosive 9mm for significantly less than that.
Am I nuts to think that nearly a quarter a round for bulk quantities of corrosive, 60 year old pistol ammo is crazy high? There must be someone buying it at those prices or they would drop the prices to move the product--but WHO???
