Locally, try Dick's they tend to sell the shotgun ammo in flats of 250rds for under $40.

It depends on what your idea of "bulk" is...

You wont save much of anything unless you are buying 250 rounds or more.


Cheap clay ammo is around $3.95 per box of 25. Remington 1 oz loads can be bought at Wal-Mart for this price. That comes out to around $40.00 per case plus tax.


RIO Ammo is pretty good stuff, and it is about as cheap as you will get when buying it by the case of 250 rounds. RIO's are around $34.00 a case. I'm not real familiar with Lancaster County, but I know that Shyda's in Lebanon and Tropp's in Elizabethtown both stock and sell RIO Ammo by the case.


You can by ammo by the skid load and save even more, if you have the extra cash up front.

To grab some quick ammo and go...I'd go for the Wal-Mart Remingtons'. But to save money and get a case...I'd buy the RIO's.

I shoot RIO Trap 32 ammo in my Browning Citori clay guns and RIO 28 gauge through my Citori 28. Great stuff that breaks birds when you do your part.

For 00buck or slugs Remington 15 round Value packs at walmart are good for practice stuff.

Sportsman guide has LE 00buck 12 pellet . 100 rounds for $40.

These all reference 12G.

Try dawson enterprises. They are in ohio and sell nothing but shotgun shooting supplies. I'm pretty sure they will ship ammo. www.dawsonent.com

at cabelas they usually have the 250rd boxes for 25 or 30 i think it is for federal, but if you keep the box tops and send them in you get $10 off... so after the first box its $10 less if you keep buying it
