There are several good FR8s on two auctions sites.
These reportedly might increase more in price (%) than the NATO 7.62 ammo in the next few years.

Surplus NATO 7.62 (BO, non-corr.) can be found at about .40/rd., with shipping.

Do many guys who reload surplus military ammo sometimes just want a chunk of reserve ammo, which costs not much more than what reloads might average per round, and will save time and trouble?
