I'm kinda tired of paying shipping on my ammo...  anywhere round here carry ammo at a reasonable price?
mainly 40 and 45 needed.

WalMart Value packs for each.

really?  What kinda cash am i lookin at vs midway:
wolf 45 7.90 box
CCI 40 7 a box

the 100 packs of .45 white box are a little less than $20

that's ridiculous.  I'm pretty sure the NRA can beat that and ceterfire systems will send me a thousand of wolf for 130 free shipping.  Guess the answer to my original question is no, huh?

I've used Wolf before and can say yes Value pack (Win White box) might be just as dirty as Wolf but it's more accurate.

I placed 4th using Value pk 9mm in SSP at Shooters Paradise last week.  I placed 4th overall and 4th in my division and was the most accurate shooter in the match.

guns.wicked96ss.com/20050302_IDPA_Results.html


I think Wal-Marts price on .40 Value pks is just under $17 (100 rounds) and .45 is just under $21 (100 rounds), 9mm is right around $11 (100 rounds)

Outside of WWB at Wal-mart, I buy most everything online.  I get my carry ammo at VA Arms when I make it out to Manassas.

Like others have said, the good deals are all online.  There are occasional deals like back when you could get Q3131A really cheap at Galyan's but those are occasional.  All of the local gunshops are good for picking up a box or two to try something out but if you want bulk it's time to fire up the web browser of your choice.

Besides GunShows and Reloading I find that there is no cheaper place than AmmoMan.  He is in NJ and if I call the order in the morning I receive it two days later.

I find that you simply cannot beat midwayusa for under-case amounts.  (for +P HP rounds, soooooometimes sportsmans guide will have some good deals on magtech or remington personal defense ammo.  but of course it goes FAST)

I'm staring at this ad in SGN for centerfire systems.  Anyone hear of them, order from them?

He often is cheaper though.  Obviously not always but often.  

I can often find one or another specific round cheaper from somewhere else but if I'm buying 2 or 3 different types of ammo then the whole order is generally cheapest from Ammoman.  

That 'free' shipping helps too.

Aw, nevermind,  I'm all messed up now.

Seriously,  I know many of us who will make the drive for the right deal.  It would be fantastic to have a "local" source for our needs.

I have a thought on that and just to share is the only reason I will post this.

If said local dealer is selling a case of {insert your ammo here} for the same price as shipped ammo, via the internet plus additional Virginia sales tax to bring the total above the Internet price shipped.

I believe people will order the ammunitions before paying more in store, I hope we can depend on you as a supplier of ammunition rather than spending our money out of state.

Wrong!

NRA Range prices for a 50 round box are something like $8 for 9MM, $10 for .40 S&W, and $12 for .45 ACP.

On the downside, Wal-Mart is frequently out of value-packs!

Is this just new ammo (5.56)?  How about surplus 308 or 8mm?     Either way I'll be stopping by a lot I hope!

Some of the Wally-World ammo might be a bit tougher, but try picking up a Beta-C mag while you're in WalMart!

Anyway, we'll have pallets of factory FMJ 9mm, .45ACP, .40S&W, 5.56 and 7.62.

I don't know if they normally do it but when you're taking a class there they have American Eagle pistol ammo by the case at decent prices.  They also had some Federal XM193 that I bought when I was taking a pistol class.  I paid something like $160 or $170 for a 1000 of XM193 and I think $140 for  case of 9mm AE.

30/06 for those who shoot Garands or unconverted 1919's.

+2 on 5.45

As I posted in another thread.

___________________________________

My self indulgent bulk ammo request is that you sell 1000rd. cases of Wolf 5.45x39 60gr. FMJ for $110.00 $120.00 whatever.

I have seen it sell out long before anything else at all of the gun shows this year, that is, if it can be found.

_____________________________________

Personally, I am into instant gratification after a shopping experience.  In another words, I can see myself regularly going into your new store and buying a case of 9mm, a case of 5.45 and a case of 5.56 along with some other ubertactical item you are selling.  

I am getting an SMG, so that might be 3 cases of 9mm.
