Academy Sports website has 28% off store wide with coupon code CC201820PCT. Free shipping over $35.

Just ordered 800 rounds of the Winchester white box .45 to take full advantage of the current Winchester ammo rebate. It was $190.05 shipped! That already makes it an awesome deal at $11.87 per box of 50. After I get the rebate of $47.51 from Winchester ($50 max). That will drop the price to $8.70 for 50 rounds of new factory .45 ACP!!!

You would be hard pressed to reload ammo for that price.

And that assumes that you already have the brass.

save the brass! that is worth around a nickel . then reload. damn near cheaper than just buying brass.

Ordered 1k. If you start from active junky you get another 5% back as well. A case was $258, -.05%, then $50 brings 1k rounds to $195 shipped.

Thanks OP

Hopefully the rebate is as easy as the American eagle one.

The rebate says it is paid in the form of a "Winchester Ammunition check".

Is this just a check I can deposit, or is it some kind of PITA thing I can only use on certain things?

Disagree. My current 45 reload costs me right at 9 cents per round to reload. It would be even cheaper but I gave up casting my own bullets ( would bring cost down to under a nickel ) due to lack of time. Range pick up brass is pretty much free too

I believe Academy knows an ammo price crash is coming and they're trying to get ahead of it.

They won’t ship here either and their online customer service can’t let you ship,to store or use the coupon in store. Too bad, I’ve got a Dan Wesson on order and it’s going to need to be fed.

Got mine Thursday. Packaging was pretty shabby. They must have been in a hurry to get all the orders shipped out. Boxes inside were fine but half the boxes had the store security tag on them.

Reload for $0.20 a round

cheap pulled bullets and free range brass is where I save....

ETA: How are you guys reloading for so cheap? Cast bullets?
Link Posted: 5/3/2018 1:57:05 PM EDT

...or check bluebullets, sns bullets, bayou bullets for bulk coated

I've noticed ammo is getting cheaper. Lately I've found brass cases ammo as cheap as steel case, or within a $1.

On that same site the have fiocchi brass cases ammo for the same price, or wolf steel for .06¢/rnd cheaper. They list other brass cases ammo cheaper, but out of stock.
I used to reload and I have all the equipment, but I work so much now that I can't justify spending a day reloading in order to go shooting.

Cast bullets cut costs significantly. When i was a poor college student I would slave over a lead pot during spring break to make enough bullets to support my shooting habit for the year.
Back in those days my club with an indoor range allowed you to take as much back stop lead as you wanted, we never bothered with things like brinell testing or figuring out alloys ( they were bullets before , they are bullets again was our attitude) so other than the initial cost of molds and a sizer ( much of which was bought used on the cheap from old timers) and the few dollars spent on a stick of lube, bullets were essentially zero cost.
Buying powder by the 8 pound jug, primers per sleeve of 5000 when price is right, a good quality cast bullet reload is pretty easy ( even buying rather than casting bullets) to get to 10 cents per shot

.45 ACP does just fine with swagged lead bullets.

Buy VERY large quantities and the prices are very low.

I have any number of rounds that have never fired a factory round i multiple hundreds of thousand of round.

And some that there ARE no factory rounds available for.

And .50-70 Government is painfully expensive when ANY  is available.
