Where do you buy your ammo?

[Smith_586]

I have been to Eglin recently. The ammo is tax free, but the prices and selection aren't great. I am still sticking with my 38, and 357 so the selection is limited just about anywhere I look. It is also challenging to find 20 guage buckshot.

Battlehawk armory had 1000 rounds of 357 mag 158 grain for 500 bucks. They had 1000 rounds of 38 special for 400 before too.

I tried SG this time. They have a great selection, and ok prices. The site was very easy to navigate, and there is free shipping over $200.
That's a good start.

I am getting back into shooting my home defense weapons at our local range. Most of my ammo was purchased in the 90s, and I am needing new ammo, as I use up the old.
I am looking for a good, reasonably priced, online supplier to purchase 38, 357, 20gu.
Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.

I carry a 10mm I use AAC. It’s $25 for a box of 50. Their quality is amazing and they are in the US their JHP is cheaper than ball point

Stay away from monarch buckshot. Crap pattern.

Ranger Firearms is alright when it comes to selection. Emerald Coast in Valparaiso may be worth looking into

Your local gun shop. Of course, quantity and availabilit may make you shop around. I used to think that buying ammo at the gun shows that come around every 3 months had lower prices. Not anymore.

the main issue when using ammo seek is to make sure that the low price you found is not a scam. I get a little tired of SGAmmo at times. While a lot say bad things for Ammoman, my orders with Eric have been ok.
I would have to look up the names, but I have gotten some good deals from other places on case lots of federal +P+ and normal HP loads. Lately I have been impressed with Palmetto AAC. They have now a line of 7.62x39 steel case out there. I have not ordered yet, but may soon.

I second palmetto State Armory, especially for 300 blackout ammo. I haven’t tried the new 7.62 x 39 saber ammo but have had good luck with the 110 and 125 grain Sabre rounds for the 300 blackout. I have also had good luck with their regular AAC 110 grain ballistic tip ammo as well.

For the price you can’t beat the Sabre blade black tip line since it uses hornadys sst bullets and is usually half the price of almost all other sst ammo or close to it. Will be buying more once it’s back in stock, they have a hard time keeping it in with it being such a great value.

If you use Ammoseek, change your setting to 6< for shipping. I know it’s kinda backwards, but it separates out the ship gougers. This is very important.

If you’re on Reddit, check out r/gundeals. I see decent deals posted there all the time from lots of good retailers you might not have heard of. Most recently, I ordered from a place called Bucking Horse Outpost and they were great. Simmons Sporting Goods is another good place too.

Good deals on here sometimes but you gotta be quick! Rule of thumb if I'm on a ship 1,200 miles away there will be all kinds of cool stuff on here.

there is a bunch of good stuff here...that's about the same as being 250 miles away and it won't ship. Or even worse...your about to send the funds electronically after make arrangements...then your notified...deal is off...I sold it locally.

For loads such as 5.56 M193 and Nato 7.62x51, it just does not pay to reload and looking for good prices is the way to go. Without being political, if certain conflicts end and a certain man does not get re-elected, all of this might go down in price. But powder and primers have soared more than loaded generic ammo.

 

[Jester896]

there are about a dozen lead smelters left in the US..I don't see prices dropping anytime soon on it either if it is all imported.
i think brass foundries are going in that direction as well

There are problems with raw materials and environmental regulations.

It is the powder and primers that are what has like tripled in pricing over the years. Cases can be made from steel. I can cast bullets for many calibers from range lead. Many kinds of powder at $60/lb. Problem may be a shortage of nitrocellulose in the USA.
Point of it is, that if the war needs and political uncertainty, then the demand goes down. The markets are normally driven by supply vs demand. The AAC ammo that I showed in a previous post was steel case american made. My ARs, AKs, SKS, and glocks function well with steel case ammo.

Kir ammo out of Texas is one of my newer places not the biggest selection but not bad. They are priced more than fair most of the time and they don’t charge tax and I think it’s free shipping over $200. I usually buy by the case so it’s a no brainer on my end.

I buy from Ammunition Depot. A Florida company with fair prices and quick shipping.

Sg ammo
Kir ammo
Ammo depot
Sportsman’s guide with a membership used to be a good deal and if you were military and went through Aafes they had a redirect link that gave free shipping but I think (possibly because of
Me) they closed that loop hole. I figured how to stack member discounts with military discounts with the url and Coupon codes and was getting ammo for crazy cheap for about 1 year.

Recently bought ammo from Miwall Corp online. Decent prices and lower shipping costs. I used Ammoseek to find them. They are at http://miwallcorp.com/ .
