    AIM is hard to beat for prices and convienence.
    Your mileage may vary but the brass case ammo seems to eliminate the dreaded "heavy bolt lift" after a live fire.
    My Finn's seem to like brass case best.

    sticky bolt syndrome only happens if you haven't cleaned all the cosmo out of the chamber and bolt. if you take the bolt apart and scrub things down then militec it and give it a light coat(cept for firing pin) of remoil or something of the sort the bolt will be fine. also if you take a chamber brush on a cleaning rod chucked into a power drill, it'll scrub out anything and make your chamber nice n slick. otherwise the cosmo and russian gunk liquifies when you shoot and resolidifies sorta by the time you're ready to open the action.

    I am picking up a M38 from a guy on the forum tomorrow and i hope it doesn't have the sticky bolt like RussD's. Probably gonna order the ammo from aim tomorrow too. Thanks guys, I knew aim had it just didn't know if it was the best choice or cheapest

    Just remember, you get a better deal when you buy in bulk, if you can afford it.

    Aim said they'd cut a break on bulk ammo buys but not guns. I'd be in for a spam can worth...i'm down to about 300 round of non-zombie marked mosin ammo.

    ammoengine.com, folks

    As for a bulk deal, eh, not sure I shoot mine enough to want to go in on that. By the time I've shot fifteen rounds out of my sporterized M44, I'm done with it - my shoulder hurts, and the entire range is giving me dirty looks.

    Ammoengine only does a couple places. While comprehensive for those places, it's still only a few vendors.

    AIM ain't even in the top 10 on x54R. Here's a hot-off-the-press feature:
