Shipping is where a lot of the online places lose it for me. That’s a good deal. Saved ‘em to my favorites and will hopefully get such a deal next time I’m buying. Thanks for sharing!

Yes indeed, thanks Barth. Bookmarked them and will be using them the next time I need ammo. And maybe even before then given the direction my commie state appears to be headed.

edit: Hmmm. Just went to buy a case and they wanted 9.99 for shipping. Not a lot, but still adds to the cost per round.

Shipping costs were rising even before Covid messed everything up. Shipping has still been rising and set to really take off, especially if UPS union gets what they want. $ The higher and higher costs have driven a lot of small time Ebay sellers to quit as customers don't want to pay so much for shipping.
In other words, I have a truckload of firearms and military accessories taking up a lot of space but I can't give it away for free to pay shipping for buyers.

Agree with the shipping cost. The most economical store I have seen to purchase ammo is TARGETSPORTS.COM. Yes, you do pay $100.00 a year for membership, but I make that back very quickly. And everything ships free. You do not have to buy a whole case. For example, I can buy 3, boxes of one brand of 9mm, 3, boxes of another ans so on. Or mix calibers and still get the same price as I would purshasing a case. Shotgun, rimfire etc.

We have to understand that INFLATION is coming soon. Be ready. The shipping industry is hurting big time. Both Rail, Trucking etc. Stock up now if you can.

I buy a lot of ammo. Store a lot. Targetsports is fast, great packing, low cost all all ammo. Not just one case.

I have been buying ammo at SGAmmo for years.
They have free shipping if the order is $200 or higher.

I did one of those membership free shipping things, right before covid. That place had prices double everywhere else. So.. be careful out there.

Their revolver ammo is very well priced, just never heard of the brand, might try a box or two.

Bought 4 boxes of .357 mag ammo, very good price, but shipping appears to be a fixed 12.00 fee, at least for me. Not unreasonable.

Like KingRat, I'm a member at TargetSports... they are awesome. They always have fair prices on their stuff, you can see what they actually have in inventory... 1 box, or 99+, etc... so you know they actually have it. They often have things like the LE 50rd boxes of GoldDots and other SD ammos, which beats buying the tiny boxes all to Heck.

So with that Target ammo membership; you could place a daily order for a 50rd box and they would ship daily?

That shipping would add up on their end? Guess that's why the $100/yr charge.

I bought 250rds of Federal LE 124gr 9mm from them for $136 + $10 shipping. That $.584 per round. Not bad at all. Hope to use it in my incoming ECO. Thanks again Barth!

They have BPS 124grn 9mm at $249 per 1000 (no taxes, free shipping, 12.5 cents per round). Never heard of BPS, internet says they are located in Turkey with limited calibers, but ISO certified. On line reviews says primers may be harder than others, a little dirty and loaded to Nato specs, which is slightly hotter. Listed as 1200 fps, but no barrel length given. That is the best price I have seen in a long time. So ordered a case. May not work in striker pistols, but I have several hammer fired ones, just in case.

Just ordered 4 cases of New Republic plinker 9, 115gr from TargetSportsUSA.
Was hoping the price would eventually fall back under 20cents/round, but California's 11% excise tax starts in July, so now's as good a time as any.

With the membership at Target you can order just one box of any ammo and get free shipping. For example they have Magtech for$10.46. That one box would not have a shipping charge.
So you could order 5 different boxes of ammo at the low price and no shipping. In other words you can mix and match. YOU could order one box of 22.cal, 1 box of Buckshot, 5 boxes of defense ammo etc. and no shipping charge.
There is no need to order a full case of anything if you do not just want that one product. Or you can order a case. I have different guns that like different ammo. It is not to pick 20 boxes of different bullet weights, different calibers etc. Get the best deals of the day. Again Prices fluctuate.
Last year I have well over 35 orders. That would have costed a fortune in shipping charges.
Also each year they send a free gift. One year a Powdered Coated ammo can and 4 boxes of 22.cal. Last year was a Cleaning Kit. Also the shipping at my location takes only three days and the packaging is great.
I suppose there are some ammo sites that have one particular ammo on sale, but that will change next month. I can always find a Brand of ammo on target sports on sale and order as much as I want.



Each of the large boxes below are cases of MIXED ammo not just one brand.

The Membership fee will pay for itself VERY QUICKLY. The Price's of different ammo change all the time. For example the poster below said the Price of HST was $39.99. Now, I just checked and it is $36.79.

Example of yearly gift.

I recently found a new ammo source that I’ve been really happy with. I was running low on 9mm and came across BulkMunitions (https://bulkmunitions.com/blog/5-56-vs-223-ammo-19-things-you-need-to-know/). Decided to give them a shot, and I’m glad I did. The prices were pretty solid, and the shipping was quick. I ordered a bulk pack for a weekend range trip and everything went smoothly—no misfires or issues at all. It's nice having a reliable place to get ammo, especially when I’m planning a range day with friends.
