Organize with your fellow shooters. I am an NRA certified pistol instructor, got an FFL guy, and arrange group buys with my students. Aside from the order coming in, at the beginning of October, I just did an order with eight other students who gave me the money ahead of time(they trust me and have dealt with me before) to order 5,000 rounds of 9mm Brown Bear, 2,000 of .45 ACP Brown Bear, a case of 5.45x39, and two cases of 7.62x25(six of the students have Romanian Tokarevs). I ordered it up from AIMsurplus, they called me on the phone to make sure I was sure about my order lol.
After all said and done my share of 1,000 rds of 9mm will come out to just under $10 a box of 9mm, 750 roudns of .45 ACP at under $17 a box of 50. Buy in mass bulk, buy together, find some folks you can trust. Now admittedly I'm not going to keep all that ammo, I'll be sellign it off to my students at $11 a box of 50 for 9mm, $19(to cover sales tax) a box of 50 for .45 ACP. The other students had the faith in me to hand me a couple hundred bucks or so, so they get it at my cost. Fair is fair. And yes I have a tax number, I do pay a sales tax, and yes I can write off the expense.
