Its really quite easy.
A few years ago when it was ultra cheap I bought a few thousand rounds of surplus 7.62x54R and continue to shoot it.

Yeah i have several boxes of "brown bear" that i bought online. Have been using the windex on it since i first got it. I also found a great site online
7.62x54r.net where i learned alot about care of the rifle, and its history and all that. pretty informative and the people are super helpful.
Ok cool. It's great to find another person on the warpath who shares my enjoyment of mosin nagants....
