Best Ammo Source?

It has been a very long time since I've actually bought ammunition -- I handload my practice ammo and I've been able to get free defensive ammo. My source for defensive ammo is gone now, so I'm going to have to actually buy my own (gasp!). What are the best sources to buy a few boxes of ammo? I'm assuming that it would be an online company, but I'm not sure which one has the best overall prices. Maybe my assumption is wrong. Do you have suggestions for me? Where do others source their ammo, considering that I'm looking at maybe 200 rounds at a time?

Nowadays I find the best prices are usually posted on this board or at Sportco in Fife. My go to was SGAmmo.com which is a quality family owned business. Maybe place a WTB ad with caliber/brand specifics on this board and people will PM you with what they have to sell or trade. Some people are very reasonable here considering the current circumstances.

I normally don't buy ammo online, but when I do, there's a source:
http://www.gunbot.net/ammo/pistol/9mm/ I just bought three boxes (limit) of S&B 115 gr FMJ (my favorite all-purpose 9x19 ammo) for 10.99/box from Coastal in Auburn. _________________ FPC member GOA member Corruptissima re publica plurimae leges. |

I usually use ammosource or one of the other gun search engines.
Lets you find the best deals out of 20+ sites. HSM used to be the best for .458, 45-70, and .375 H&H but they quit selling direct. Price went up 2-3X. Used to get .458 Win Mag for $1-1.25 a round with new Starline brass and performance bullets. Be hard to even load it for that. Standard load is almost a case full of powder and the bullets and brass aren't cheap either. _________________ NRA Endowment Member. How did they know my member was well endowed? |

dav2no1 wrote: Targetsportsusa Second this. Though I always check Ammoseek. You can find some deals from other sources that beat the prices. BTW for prime members, which I am, get a 8% discount at Target sports. Basically pays for the sales tax. So if you find something there you want I am happy to order for people. You pay me when it arrives. OH yeah and unless you are looking for a obscure caliber. Gunjoker is probably the worst place to buy ammo from. Though if you have plenty of time to waste you can occasionally win a auction at a crazy low price.(Just like on eBay.) I tend to use Gunbroker to find what is cap on prices is. I t can be useful to get a feel for the maximum you should be paying for something. _________________ Paris You can never be too prepared. Consider the ant thou sluggard.

I purchase the components and assemble myself. Picked up 300 CNC machined copper from Fort Scott to add to my defensive supply loaded with Hornady XTPs.
