Good luck finding ammo. Out west, 8x57 is as popular as root canals, had to hunt hard for it even before the days of the shortages. Californians can't internet order until court cases are settled...so it's reloading only.
Interesting to hear of different ammo situations. Here In British Columbia I see 8x57 ammo in a lot of mom and pops gun shop/Canadian tire's. Not big selection but good enough. Usually the Serbian PPU, S&B, and Hornady. The only place that doesn't have it is Bass pro and Cabela's.
