How much should I pay for a full case (1000rds) of Silver Bear 7.62x39 HP? Back in March I chatted with a guy selling at a gunshow. He said he will sell it to me at the next one in Berea this weekend. He’s asking $750
What should I offer?

It seems current market price for steel case is in the mid $.50s per round and you can get new manufacture brass case non corrosive for roughly another .10c per round. It all depends on what you are willing to pay for it. I personally wouldn't give even $.45/round for steel case unless I was completely out. At the $.75/r he's asking, you're better off getting new brass cased for less money and you then can save the brass for future usage if you so desire.

Silver Bear is ok stuff, but it's not highly collectable/sought after such as the Norinco stuff from years past. Although who knows in another 10 years it might be....

Im not a big fan of hp in 7.62x39. I dont think it gets the expansion that you see with 5.56 but I could be wrong. I try to find soft points in 7.62x39 for hunting and sd.

$500 max

Anything under 50cpr is a buy for me

Gun show deals no longer exist.

1st post was spot on. Can order new brass for 60cpr online.

no real difference in hp/fmj in standard 762. SP is kinda the move for defensive.
Remy wont let me down like Mia did.

I actually wouldn’t mind getting brass cased ammo instead. Could you please post the links to some deals for it for me?
 Thanks everyone

Go to Ammoseek.com to look for ammo deals.

75 cents a round for HP that won’t expand anyhow is ridiculously overpriced.
a loaded gun won’t set you free, so you say…

I would get the brass cased M67 ammo from SGAmmo.
