Where do buy your carry ammo online?

Post by bagman45 »

OK, I reload or buy range ammo locally when there's a deal, but carry ammo is WAY too expensive to buy at our local Dallas area stores (when I can actually find a round I'm interested in buying - which is pretty much NEVER). Thanks to the glory of the internet, the rounds that work well in social situations are available, but prices are all over the map. For those who buy carry ammo online, where do you find the best selection/deals; assuming you are willing to share ;-) ?

If you are in pinch, I can sell you 9mm. I have more than I need. I carry Speer Gold Dots in 124gr +P.
I am local to your area.

However, you may be looking for 45 which I do not have.

BTW, This is my source for said ammunition : http://www.tds-us.com/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

:iagree:

I also use ammoengine.com to see who has the best prices at the moment. Cheaperthandirt.net usually has some good deals as well.

I use Midwayusa.com but compare prices from other sources. Texas sales tax and shipping cost are deal breakers.

Have you checked out GTDistributers yet? They have a store in Dallas, and the last couple of times I have been there, all of the defensive ammo they stocked was priced pretty good.

Thank you sir! I didn't know about this website. Bookmarked, and will be used frequently.

For those that like AmmoEngine, I'm surprised (no actually shocked) that they leave out so many vendors with much lower prices than they list on the AmmoEngine site. Here's an example for the .30 Carbine ammo I buy lots of:

.30 carbine Prvi Partisan - $37.89/50 as listed on AmmoEngine - supplied by AmmoBank

http://www.ammoengine.com/find/store_fr ... %253APP30C" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

NOT listed on AmmoEngine

.30 Carbine Prvi Partisan - $21.49/50 on Ammunition to Go site (that's drastically lower than the AmmoBank listing on AmmoEngine)

http://www.ammunitiontogo.com/product_i ... dgrrpnrev0" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

NOT listed on AmmoEngine

.30 Carbine Prvi Partisan - $23.99/50 from cabela's site (that's also drastically lower than the AmmoBank listing on AmmoEngine)

http://www.cabelas.com/product/PPU-Rifl ... l+Products" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

The two sites I listed are very popular and well known places, so I am befuddled by the lack of their presence on AmmoEngine's site. Seems like relying on AmmoEngine for the best deals available is not the best way to go. I haven't checked other calibers, but if the .30 Carbine is an example of their listings, I'll continue to a little more Google Foo before I buy.

True Ammoengine doesn't search everyone who sells ammo, but it does give an idea of price ranges if something is cheap or overpriced, and sometimes, like when no one had .32 acp nor .380 ammo, you could find it there.
I buy a lot from Midway http://www.midwayusa.com/category/ammunition" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
and whoever has it cheap, CTP or whoever, but I like to see if it's cheaper elsewhere etc.
