- I'm not sure what "short range" ammo would be (practice? plastic
- bullet?) but the advertisment reads "1985 Manf. Non-corrosive. Steel
- case, steel core, ready for use in all 7.62x39 mm ... especially
- accurate in sks rifles". This ammo is in 1480 round cases, in
- "original german issue packing".

- As for tracer - for some reason a real premium is placed on tracer in
- the USA. I've seen most tracer sold in units of 10 rounds at
- something like $.50 to $1.00/round - up to $10.95/pack of 10 rounds.
- I've never seen it sold in case lots at a small markup over regular
- ball ammo.
