Best price per round on 50 BMG?

[mopar92]

Does anybody that is shooting BMG have a source for good price per round on actual available ammo? I am seeing these ammo finder type websites show it, but when you click on it, it is no longer in stock. Short of GunBroker, just thought I would ask the 50 bmg folks..

I don't know what their stock is, but I looked at these guys last year:

I didn't end up buying from them, though. I got it for $2.60/rd from a local commercial reloader (once fired brass, pull down API, new 660 gr. ball).

Yeah, thanks. I have bought stuff there in the past. Sadly, my local reloading guy got out of .50BMG... I was buying once fired reloaded for $2.65ish a round. I wish I knew of a place that was reputable that sold reloaded .50.

If you have your own supplies I have someone for you, right now he's back logged due to limited supplies. He does quality work, I've had him load stuff for me when I couldn't do it myself. He has his license to reload...

Other then that, panic buyers have bought everything including 50 BMG. I thought it wouldn't be hit due to fewer owners but people seem to be buying anything. Keep an eye on gun boards for people selling at a decent price.

Here's $3.50/round for XM33C FMJ in stock.

Last time I got ammo it was British surplus and cost $2.60 a round, I think that's all dried up though.

 

[mopar92]

Yeah those days are limited on that ammo.

That brit ammo shot good but it was berdan primed, so not a big loss. Get some STRANGE looks at the recycling place though (and MAN that stuff is heavy, fetches a good value!)

Last time I ordered bulk was from TNW. Ball, tracer, AP and API were all $1.25 a round. Glad I got as much as I did.
