Looking for decent ammo for a better price

[PJ-Hunter]

I'm looking to stock up on DECENT ammo for my rifles. Not some $5 for 20 junk but reliable ammo, that shoots well and burns clean. Prices and shipping to beat the bigger online ammo stores. All of my google searches some prices here and there for this and that, but I want to find ONE place that does it all.

Any advice?

My rifles are:

.300 Win Mag
.270
7x57 Mauser
.223 WSSM
and a nice little .22LR Ruger

I plan on buying some more rifles in the future and affordable ammo would be nice. Appreciate the help in advance. I'm also looking to stock up on pistol ammo for the .38 and the .45 ACP

I've had very good luck with Prvi Partizan in 7x57, among other calibers. I know that they make 270 and 300 Win mag also. Good reloadable brass, too.

OK. Let me clarify, my original post not so good. Where can I buy ammo online? I'd buy locally but prices here are at LEAST $15 more for a box. And it's hunting season so it's even more now. Price Gouging, the American way.

It may be too late for you this year, but you might consider handloading. You can load much better than "decent" ammo at price points that might surprise you.

Ferinstance, not including the price of the tools, for $.22 per bullet, $.04 per primer and maybe $.06 for propellant, I can assemble top quality 243 loads. If I did the ciphering correctly, you are paying $.75 per cartridge at $15 per box of 20. The cartridge case is reusable from 5 to 10 times. Assuming 7 times of use, and a purchase of new empty cartridge cases at $.90 apiece for Lapua brass, that's $.12 per use.

$.44 apiece versus $.75 apiece.

Just my way of attacking high prices.

Hard to say without knowing how much you shoot and how much ammo you want to have on hand and what you want the ammo for.

Have you thought about using a search engine to look for online retailers and then comparing prices?

This isn't comprehensive but it's a start.

Best prices:

Ammo Man
AIM Surplus

Best Selection:

Ammunition to Go

Yes, but not finding sites that carry everything. I don't want to be making random orders with 6 different sites.

As for handloading, I don't have the time. With my job, my kids, my other hobbies time isn't there.

As for type of ammo, I want just an all around load that will allow me to practice, defend or hunt. Reliably.

Under "best selection" I put a link for Ammunition to Go. What are you looking for that you couldn't find there?

 

[PJ-Hunter]

Ammo to go was a good site. It has what I need. I made that previous post before I saw the link you posted. And their shipping is decent.

Thanks for the info.
I have used Natchezzs but the got spendy and shipping is a scam with them.

 

[Halal Pork]

Oh good. I was thinking if Ammunition to Go is sold out then there really is a problem with low supply across the board. I haven't needed to order ammo for a while so I'm not completely up to date. I hope by following this thread I can learn some new sites the next time I am due to make an order.

 

[Marty B]

Might give Graf & Sons a look. They carry Prvi Partizan and many others.

 

[Sav .250]

Some time "on-line" ammo shipping costs can be rather high. Added together,
the total might be more than a local vender. J s/n.

 

[PJ-Hunter]

Not my local vendors. Buncha effin thieves, they are.

I have had some luck recently with http://www.sportsmansguide.com/net/Main.aspx. They often have promotions involving free shipping for members on orders over acertain amount. Usually $99 to $125. They carry Prvi Partisan ammo which I have used and found to be OK. A little dirtier than I would like but still good ammo. You can also try ttp://www.cabelas.com/ for the occasional free shipping promo too. Good Luck.

Don't forget to mention "Ammo-seek". They have various long lists for some rounds.

Thanks, Ignition Override. I will add that one to my bag of tricks.

 

[Soapy5]

my personal favorite search tool is ammoseek.com

specific stores I usually end up buying from:

aimsurplus

sportsman's guide (believe it or not, their buyer's club is definitely worth it, in addition to some pretty good promo codes that they release every month)
