Hi Tom,


I buy ammunition by the case, and pay about $100 per 1,000 rounds of high quality (Fiocchi, S&B) 9x19 Parabellum ammunition.


The best price Iâ??ve found on Winchester 7.65 Parabellum was $25/box of 50. Iâ??ve bought Fiocchi 7.65 Parabellum at $18.00 box of 50 (but had to buy 20 boxes to get that price.) SAMCO currently has Finn milsurp 7.65 Parabellum:


â??Mfg. Lapua/Sako, Finland 1979-81, FMJ, NC/Berdan, 93 gr. Brass cases. Packed 25 rds per box, 2000 rds per case. Wt. 58# per case.


29.9 cents per Round

250 rds $ 74.95

$ 598.00 per case�


As you can see, 7.65 Parabellum is about two to three times expensive as 9x19 Parabellum.


Itâ??s been my experience that the 7.65 Parabellum is somewhat more accurate than 9x19 Parabellum, but not enough to matter in anything other than serious match shooting. The 7.65 Parabellum also has slightly greater penetration than does 9x19 Parabellum but thatâ??s no usually an important issue.


Hope this helps!


Best regards,


Kyrie
