I've been using a ruger mini 30 rifle for gun season since my father bought it for my high-school graduation in 1994 . I have plenty of hunting ammo for it as I've always bought a box or two when I see it . For the life of me I can't figure out why all you see local or on line is the tula, wolf, brown bear, black bear what ever bear or red army ammo etc . All these are steel cased and dirtier then heck. I dont shoot any of that junk in my ruger. Just wonder why they are such readily available and the good stuff isn't . I've seen just about every hunting ammo caliber available on line a time or two except 7.62x39
