I purchased some from Sportsman's Guide for $215 for 1000rds of 7.62x39 shipping included. They are getting the shipment in soon they ship them Jan 16. I have a purchase through them also for 1000rds of .223 they won't ship till February. And I ordered them a couple weeks before the 7.62x39. You can use a slick guns coupon too. That's what brought my price down. I don't mind the wait I'm overseas working anyway.
