Same around here, Cabelas has one shelf the entire length of their rifle section that is only 7.62x54R. An endcap full of it in Herters on sale too. Hornaday, Privi, Herters... whatever tickles your fancy it is there. Not much for 7.62x39 though and they never had much 5.45 on a good day.I'm just watching all this, and feeling a little better about getting into old Soviet firearms... 7.62x25, 9x18MAK, and 5.45x39 are some of the easiest to find out here. .223 has all but dried up, 9mm is almost impossible, and 7.62x39 is even getting spotty. Fleet Farm always has spam cans of 7.62x54 and 5.45x39, and sometimes the 7.62x39. Otherwise the local shop has a good amount of Bulgarian Tokarev ammo- some people I talk to online can't believe I'm finding Soviet calibres easier than standard, btu once in a while Walmart gets in 9mm or .45.
They also have a full shelf long display in the pistol section for the 7.72 Nagant revolver. It used to be almost like an easter egg hunt to find it there.
They are just filling up their shelves with it so they don't look as empty as they are. Not really for sure what the point of it is, I doubt there be a big run on the Nagant pistol ammo.
Most of the regular stuff is there but thin.
Really glad I went with a 30-06 vs the .308...
