Ammo On-Line

SGammo.com

good folks to deal with :)


i stopped ordering from ammotogo when they decided to start ripping me off on shipping charges. i'm not exaggerating either, they wanted $23 to ship what SGammo charged me $14 for (exact same ammo).
 
Whenever I've checked prices at Cheaper Than Dirt for specific ammo, I've never found it to be less expensive (including shipping charges) than other on-line sites. When the ammo shortage was going full bore, I checked CTD and again found that I could buy the ammo elsewhere.
 
I still use Ammo To Go, prices have gone up a little, but shipping charges are fair, good selection of ammo, and, I really like this, if they show it on their site they have it in stock ready to ship.
 
If your not going to support your LGS, just go to wal-mart.

This seems an unreasonable attitude. My LGS wants $17-19 for a box of Federal American Eagle FMJ. That's absurd. I will never touch prices like that. In addition, every single one of my LGS carry exactly one defense load - Federal Hydra Shok. As a Gold Dot and HST guy, my choices are a 200-mile road trip or the internet.

Ditto. I buy my range ammo at Wal-Mart and nothing else. The premium ammo I like (GD & HST) is bought where I can find it and thats only online.
 
I'm very bummed by on-line ammo venders,,,

For one, someone has to be there to accept when the delivery arrives,,,
I work a normal day shift so I can't receive the delivery.

Also the shipping makes the difference in savings,,,
Unless I order a life-time supply.

Even on a 500 round order of .9mm,,,
After shipping it's the same as at my LGS,,,
After shipping it's cheaper to buy at Wally World.

SGAmmo.com is here in my home town of Stillwater, OK,,,
I was elated as they have good prices on their goods,,,
Until I called them and asked if I could pick it up.

The owner said no.

I told him I didn't want to browse through his warehouse,,,
I would make and pay for the order on-line as normal,,,
He said his policy was no personal pick-up.

I told him I would be ordering in 500 round lots,,,
And would be buying for 5 different calibers,,,
He was adamant about using UPS delivery.

I called UPS thinking I could pick an order up at their local center,,,
The delivery price would be the same as if it were delivered to my residence.

I asked the Evil Pawn Shop Guy about their company,,,
He said the owner is very paranoid about anyone knowing where they are.

He lost a lot of business,,,
His company won't get any of my money.

It depends of the type of ammo and the caliber you want to get. The amount you plan to buy at one time also makes a difference. Some of the ones I use are:

http://www.natchezss.com/

http://www.weaponsworld.com/

http://shop.sportsmansguide.com

Some are better then others. Weapons World has a flat rate shipping. It makes it really nice when you buy a case or 2 at a time. Delivery is pretty fast too. This was the place I made my most recent purchase of range ammo.

You should always check the finial price including shipping.
 
Ammoengine.com searches all of the best deals by caliber. It does not account for shipping so you will still need to do some leg work - but it still saves a ton of time.
 
I just bought some 9mm Makarov from AIM Surplus. It was a good experience.

You're right to consider "out the door prices" instead of just advertised prices.
 
I just checked "ammo to go" and they are charging $33.00 to ship 1000 rounds of 9mm! Curiously "SGAmmo" charges just $16.00 to ship the same weight of 9mm....I know who's getting my business! ;)
 
note to AArond

Don't know if it's just Calif., but USPS/FedEx et al just ring the door bell,
leave the pkg(marked as ammo.)on the porch et go on their way. Go figure!

If you live in Alaska, charges are so high its nuts, or they do not ship.

What happened to being part of the USA?
 
www.SGAmmo.com
www.weaponsworld.com
www.dansammo.com

All of these vendors offer solid pricing and affordable shipping to me. I buy from Dan's a lot so he throws in shipping to me often.

Weapons world charges $9.99 flat rate.

SGAmmo is affordable but no special deals.

The other thing to look out for is big box retailers that are offering coupons and free shipping. I have scored deals where I got 9mm for about .16 cents a round delivered which by todays standards is pretty good.

If you live in Alaska look up Wild West guns... Ask for Ken they sell bulk packe ammo at good prices.

Palmetto State Armory has some good prices and shipping is reasonable.

Like SG Ammo...have had no problems with them.

Used to get a good amount of duty ammo (Gold Dot, HST) from Ammunition To Go...but their prices have gone up and shipping really kills it for me.

Weidner's is also good to go.
 
sportsman guide

shipping from the sportsman guide is way cheeper than cheeperdirt and the product is the brand you want. I buy everything from the guide.
 
Thanks for all the input. After looking at all the options, I went with luckygunner for my first ammo order on-line. They were cheap, but more importantly, there shipping was reasonable compared to others. And I got it in three days...

Thanks again, its great to have a place like this to solicit suggestions/ideas from the experts, for us new guys...
 
Wondering if folks have had problems with ammoman ... their prices seem to be lower than most of the sites posted here ... I've been using them for a while with no problems ...
