Bulk Ammo Buying: Is It Worth It?

[Annihilator]

Is it a good thing to buy ammo in bulk, yes, but for me only a brand that I recognize, not a fly by night company, especially if you shoot a lot and don’t reload, just my thoughts

It is worth it if you shop around. The article's author pays too much for green tip, just got a 1000 case, quality name for $480, free delivery.

Agree with my preferred brands and always looking for the free shipping deals

 

[powerboatr]

yes
i buy in bulk often and shop sales to try to squeeze max return on the dollar
this includes primers, powder and bullets in the mix of built up cartridges

I don't shoot as much as I used to so I don't worry about bulk buys anymore. There are great deals out there if a person is willing to spend time shopping around.

I normally just buy at local stores as I need it.

How much do you have to buy to buy direct from the factory these days?

I only shoot around 50 rounds a year so one box will do me.

Ok, OK, maybe two boxes a year then.

 

[Bassbob]

It is.

 

[Jfal]

Yes, worth it.

With reloading components hard to find and expensive, I save them for my harder to find and more expensive calibers.
Common stuff, like 9mm and 5.56, I've been buying in bulk.
Ammoseek.com is your friend.

And what kind of brands are you familiar with?

Ammo Inc is becoming a new favorite in center fire for the range. I also love Super Vel in .380

 

[javbike]

Yea I know ammo inc use to be bad but I am thinking of trying them again

 

[Old_Me]

those and also SIg, magtech, Grizzly, underwood, atomic, liberty, hornady, fiocchi

i found magtech to be good for plinking, but it is god awfully dirty/smokey

so only if and i say if nothing else is available i will only buy half the amount of what i'd normally buy.
