Ammo prices

[Kb! Bob]

I am going to be buying a decent amount of ammo pretty soon. For my commie calibers, a place with free shipping like ammoman is great ($219/1000rnds Wolf x39), but for 12 gauge, .45acp, 9mm, and .223, can Walmart really be beat by any significant amount? Especially when you consider shipping?

I haven't found any sources for 9mm that beat walmarts price on Federal Champion. Just under $10 for 50. The only problem is the quantity limit, only 6 boxes per day. The WWB is a little more, but you can get twice as much per day since they come in 100 round boxes.

and also costs more. So for the same amount of ammo you're paying like an extra 50$ if you go with WWB.

For 600 rounds? I'd like to see that math. Federal is around $10 for 50 and WWB is around $24 for 100.

Depending on the shipping cost, the J&G spam cans of yugo x39 might work out to your advantage as far as cost goes. It is corrosive, however its excellent ammunition.

For 1,000 rounds you're spending about 40$ more if you bought the WWB mega paks over federal at the lower cost.

It's simple, for every 100 rounds add 4 bucks.

That's an extra 200 rounds in savings if you went with federal over WWB.

This is a rough estimate working without exact prices. Federal 9mm costs around $9.80 and the WWB mega-pak costs just under $24.00 .

no, it's around $24 dollars for 600 rounds, $50 (48) for 1200 rounds.

That's not a minimal difference for the amount that I shoot, so I generally choose Federal now that WWB has gone up in price. Honestly though, I've considered buying in bulk online, just for the convenience. I'd be paying more, but I could do it all at once and be covered for a while. Considering that they only have what I want about half to a third of the time, I waste a lot of time on getting ammo, and my time is worth at least something.

[ungawa]

Got it, you were considering 1000 rounds.

I buy both. WWB rocks serious shit. I love that ammo for cheap blasting. One of my firearms prefers it.

But the price is getting comparable to online Fiocchi.

Some Wallyworlds have lifted the 6 box limit - Trexlertown and Hometown that I visited.

That's promising, though supply is still a limiting factor. Can't buy what they don't have...
Work and some hand to hand training have limited my shooting recently, so it's probably been 4 weeks since I bought ammo. It'll be a happy day when I can pick up a case in a single visit though.
