1. I have bought and checked prices from various sites, and overall I have found SGAmmo to be the cheapest when you figure the price of their ammo plus shipping. And their service has always been fast and correct. On occasion you might find a special from another source that is cheaper, but day in and day out you cannot beat SGAmmo. I know because I have tried. Trekker Out

   1. Agree! I’ve been buying from SGAmmo for six years. Never a problem.

      1. I have just spot-checked SGAmmo and Ammunition Depot for 45 ACP availability. SGAmmo is just about out of stock of all 45. If you need it, Ammunition Depot has it.

2. Freedom Munitions also a great place to buy. Headquartered in Idaho and a retail location in Houston. Always good to have options. Thanks for the two new ones from the article and comments.

3. We have received two orders from Freedom Munitions for remanufactured ammunition, one for .38 sp. and one for .308 rifle. There have been no problems so far with the handgun ammo but we have experienced several rifle rounds that would not fire.
   I would rate them as OK for practice but not OK for self defense requirements.
   Have not tested any of their new manufactured ammo though.

   1. I’ve ordered from Freedom Munitions 3 times, twice with errors on the orders I received. Have to pass on this company.

4. I’ll add my voice with my favorite online ammo store. I’ve been buying from LuckyGunner.com for a couple of years. I always buy 500 or 1,000 round bulk. For me they’re like the Amazon Prime of shipping, always delivered in two days or less. Plus, they offer “over boxing” of ammo for free. At check out you can check box an option where they’ll put the ammo box in a “plain brown wrapper” box so the neighbors (and porch pirates) don’t know what’s sitting on your porch.

   1. Yup, everything you said plus they have a ton of great information on their website including articles, videos and the most in-depth ballistics test results and comparisons I’ve ever seen. A solid outfit.

5. Just pulled up site to check out and could not look at anything without giving my email address. Personally I want to see what is available before giving out my info.

   1. I’m with you Iraude. When I come across a site that requires my e-mail address or register before they’ll reveal their wares, I go elsewhere. I look at it as a scam to get your info so they can either sell it, or turn it over to some agency.

      1. You could always give them an email from somewhere like 10minutemail.com. Great way for bypassing email requirement or account signup walls on websites.

      2. Iraude & Der Denker:
         I would have to agree with both y’all on that point.
         Just another scam to your info so they try to call, email, spam, and sell you TRASH y’all don’t want or need.
         Midwest Marco:
         I also like Luckygunner for the same reason. I got some serious nosie neighbors including my mom, god bless her, but once a mom always a mom and unfortunately she is a democratic and lives next door. Love ya ma!

      3. OPSEC!

   2. i got on without giving my address………i just clicked on no thanks and went right in.

6. I have used Ammoman.com for many years for all my bulk ammo purchases and I am very happy with their prices and service. The shipping charges are built in to the pricing so it is easy to know the total cost.

7. I’m kind of picky about what I shoot, and Federal and American Eagle are not my first choices but that’s what Ammunition Depot has to offer in 5.56. 9MM has a few more options. .22LR has less choices. I’ve looked at SGAmmo, but Lucky Gunner almost always has what I want, in stock, and at a fair price. If I buy loaded ammo it’s mainly to maintain my supply of brass. I buy everything in bulk: powder, primers, bullets and even primed brass sometimes. It all comes down to who has the quality products I expect at a price I can afford.

8. If you want the best prices and customer service go to outdoorlimited.com They beat ammunition depot on price by a large amount on everything I checked. They have a very large selection. Best prices I’ve seen anywhere.

9. Thanks Pat, your article and the comments it created have brought new sources to light. I never want to get hung up on one source, it’s always good to shop around. I have also found some super bargains on Palmetto Armory from time to time. Trekker Out

10. Depending on what you are looking for, Sportsman’s Guide has some really good deals. They often run free shipping, and if you join their buyer’s club you get an additional discount. I’ve been shopping there for 19 years and have only had one issue, which was fixed immediately. Great company to buy from for ammo and surplus (but stay away from their Guide Gear branded stuff).

11. One other source to keep in mind is Natchez Shooting Sports. They are pretty much on par with Lucky Gunner and Ammoman in my experience…

12. I just placed an order with Ammunition Depot using the link provided. 1000 rounds of American Eagle .40 for the same price as Lucky Gunner, but free shipping on orders over $100.00. American Eagle also has a 25% rebate which sweetens the deal, so I’m happy. Thanks Pat!

13. Targetsports.com has good prices to with free shipping if you buy usually 1000 rounds. I have bought a lot from them and freedom munitions, both can be a little slow in shipping but for the deals its worth it.

14. If anything, it’s quite obvious there is no shortage of ammo dealers at the present moment. Keep buying, we want them all to stay in business. Might as well help them store some finished product….

15. Shipping cost is often a deciding factor for me. Cabela’s often has $5. or free shipping that I have exploited. Edward Arms is my go to if I want to buy a present for my son who shoots .50 BMG. If you are hoarding .22 LR there is a guy in TN who has great case prices, even on CCI stingers. AmmoSeek.com is worth checking before you buy in bulk.
