New Ammunition Search Engine

Just used it to search for .450 Bushmaster and returned 3 pages of results. I like the layout and it is super easy to use. I found the Hornady Black ammo for $21.55 a box. Unfortunately the one retailer I selected (lowestammo.com) and added 2 boxes of ammo with wanted $20 for shipping, which puts it higher than local prices at $29.95 a box.

But then I selected another retailer (Sportsmans Outdoor Superstore) and ordered two boxes at $22.53 each and it was $7.99 shipping. Reasonable. So I went to order it and it wanted me to create an account, which I attempted, but it timed out twice and I kept getting error messages. So, they lost a sale.

I then went to a third retailer, LAX Ammo, which listed the ammo at $21.93 a box and added it to my cart, then went to check out and it was $20 shipping.

I don't think online ammo sales are for me. I wanted a couple of boxes of factory ammo for my woods carbine, that I would shoot, then reload the cases. I don't need a case of .450 Bushmaster and I don't need a case of 9mm.

I gave up after three misses and 45 minutes of wasted time. But I did like the layout and it loaded fast. But there is no such thing as a free lunch when it comes to buying ammo and I have yet to find a deal online worth the hassle and shipping costs.

Thanks for the kind words. I agree with you that online ammo is tough these days especially when not purchasing a case and so many different shipping circumstances amongst retailers.
 
Still not seeing these which carry lower per 500 shipped price (including shipping charges) - https://www.thehighroad.org/index.p...15-20-500-shipped.853059/page-3#post-11359991

Thanks for pointing this out to me. It turns out I had an old price validation code that would block any 22lr ammo under $0.035 !!! Gahhhh....I have adjusted that line of code, so those units of ammo will show up within an hour or so. Again, thanks for pointing that out....that may have gone unnoticed for a long time
