Cheap Bulk Ammo
 
Where's the best place to buy bulk ammo online?

Even with the recent, dramatic run-up in ammo prices (50%-300%), I can't find any places online that beat the local prices, and shipping costs and/or club fees blow any minor savings out of the water.

Does anyone know of a good place to buy discount bulk ammo?

If your going thru a lot just reload your own, thats what I do then you can custom load too, thats a lot of fun. We collect wheel weights at the shop and use those.

Sort of reloading your own or buying from a quality reloader @ a gun show, I suggest http://cheaperthandirt.com

Sportsmans Guide always sold bulk ammo dont know if they still do.

Last I checked, Cheaper Than Dirt was a LOT more expensive than not just dirt, but also other ammo suppliers. I suggest Lancer Ammo or Georgia Arms. Free shipping over $500 too!

It's been several years, but I used to buy a lot from Georgia Arms.
Good prices & good quality from what I recall.

I think the current production Wolf ammo is probably the way to go on bulk these days (Unfortunatey)..... You can still find some quality older stuff out there but you have to dig for it.... The only stuff out there right now for my .308's is the Indian stuff, and I will not put that stuff in my guns..... good luck on your quest.....

+1 for Georgia Arms. Nice guys.
http://www.georgia-arms.com/

These guys will take your old brass and reload it; I've had good luck with the .357 and .38 reloads, but the .45 Long Colts are a bit smoky. They also sell new ammo too, and free shipping if you buy enough.

A lot of guys in the gun forums rave about ammoman, but I have no experience. Prices seem nice.

Use both mostly Gun shows for ammo that I don't Hand load . Some times they will deal near the end or the show so they don't have to reload it in the truck, few case min.

I just went to Wal Mart. I got a few boxes of the Federal Bulk in .22LR (550 for $12--used to be $8) and some Federal 12 Gauge 7½ shot (100 for $21--used to be $12).

Maybe I should start reloading. I have 400 rounds of 12 Gauge 7½ shot on hand. That's an afternoon of trap shooting for me. That used to cost me $60--now the same stuff would cost me $96.

I havent purchased from them yet, but the prices are good http://bulkammo.com/

You cast your own? I hope you don't use the kitchen stove, and I hope you do it outside with a HEPA mask on, and that you wash your hands before you eat, drink or smoke and take a shower right after.

Considering the steep hike in ammo prices, that's actually not that bad. BTW, you must do a lot of trap shooting, i'm usually content with 100 rounds or less.

I've been happy with www.ammoman.com

onewhippedpuppy 01-13-2008 03:47 AM

As much as I hate the place, Wal-Mart is pretty damn cheap for ammo. I get Blazer brass .45 ACP for about $11/box of 50. Same stuff goes for $18 at the range. It's not by any means bulk, but the shipping is cheap.:)
