Best local (retail or mom & pop) place to buy ammo? Best place online? [

[D0NNY]

I figure I'm going to go by either wal-mart or academy today and see if they've got some 9mm in stock since I plan to head to the range tomorrow.

However, I really want to buy some more online since it's cheaper. Possibly a case.

What are the best places/prices you've seen?

WWB at walmart

Ammoman.com seems to be a good guy.

Wal-Mart: Blazer aluminum if you and your gun like it; Blazer Brass if they have it. WWB is a good deal too, but the Blazer's a bit cheaper, I think.

Here's a good reference: http://gun-deals.com/ammo

Just curious, but what are the cons with aluminum over brass?

Not reloadable.

Not reloadable.

You can reload aluminum cases, you can even reload steel cases. Not the most safest or efficient, a little hard on the tools, but you can do it.

I've yet to find any factory 9mm online that was cheaper than WWB or Rem UMC 250 pack from Walmart.

I don't have any personal experience with this guy but he is in the "deal with at your own risk category" in the feedback section of the equipment exchange at ARFCOM.

I guess I should clarify. I mean ammoman.com not Sound, just so there isn't any confusion. I've dealt with Sound and he's good to go.

I reread my post and thought I might need to clarify to prevent confusion.

natchezss has blazer aluminum 9mm for 8.89/box of 50. comes to around 185 shipped.

I agree. I recently bought 100 rnds of .40 at Academy. A few day later, I was in WalMart and compared prices and WalMart was a little cheaper. So I bought a couple hundred more rounds of .40 and .45. I'm not sure about 9mm prices.

Oh cool. I never look at anything but brass.

I've bought from Ammoman a couple of times with no problems whatsoever. In fact, that's where I got my Federal LE13200 buckshot from. (In a nice thread tie-in, if I say so myself!)

As always, you do have to compare prices though, as Ammoman can be high on some things, like milsurp ammo.

Now that I'm actually seeing the thread it looks like a dispute over a firearm not ammo. I haven't dealt with him personally. Here is the link if anyone is interested http://www.ar15.com/content/page.html?id=455

When I think of having paid $84/case of blazer out the door at academy, I want to puke.

When people remind me of stuff like that^^^^^^^^..........I want to puke

The best local buys are WWB (Winchester White Box) and Remington 115 gr FMJ. You can get them in boxes of 100 for 20 bucks.

Every now and then you can catch Monarch 9mm on sale at Academy, they only come in boxes of 50.

Ammoman and ammunition to go are the 2 best places I've dealt with this year.

I honestly don't know. My buddy is saying afternoon, but I dunno when in the afternoon he'll even be available. Probably shooting over at the Sherriff's office here cause it's free, and I'm figuring it'll be dead on the pistol range.

I deal with these guys a lot . Very reasonable flat rate shipping charge .

Always had good luck with Wideners, good prices, reasonable shipping - sometimes they have free shipping deals. I very rarely buy ammo locally, I will buy from time to time when there are deals. I loath buying anything from Wally world, don't care how cheap it is...
