Cheap, but good ammo?

Jacob2008
Need to find cheap, but decent ammo. EDIT: Surplus is a +!

Needing 7.62x39, 45 auto, and .22

Stocking up time, before poop hits the fan [:D][:D]

Any good sites?

Ive tried Cheaperthandirt, and AIMSurplus.com

    I believe the day of "cheap ammo" are over, cheap has always been somewhat in the "eye of the beholder" anyway. The only way now days to get a "bargain" is to buy from someone who bought years ago and does not want market value for what they have.

    Jacob2008, my post wasn't meant to be a smart, or a sarcastic answer. i bought some US surplus 7.62X51 ammo for $3.99 this spring Feb or March for 20 Round boxes. At the gunshow a few weeks ago the same ammo was $15.99 per box. That is all i meant. I'm sorry that i offended you.

    Jacob you should invest in some reloading equipment.
    I think you would like reloading your own ammo.

    +1, i think the type of person you are you would do a fine job at it too, try about 70 bucks a 1,000 for .45 match grade ammo

    If you want cheep but great shooting ammo you need to reload, there is no other way around it. The cheep .22 is two darn cheep to shoot, lots of misfires and no accuracy, go for the Wolf Match Extra.

    For .22, you cant beat the Federal 550 packs from Walmart. $10 bucks and very few misfires.

    Yeah, I have reloading stuff, but by the time you buy the brass, primers, ect, Might as well just buy the ammo.

    Good things don't come cheap[;)]
    The saving is realized the more you do it and reusing the brass over and over.

    I reloaded 300 rounds of 9mm and another 50 rounds today on that Lee pro 1000 I paid $40 ready to go. Each box of 50 figured out to about $5.
    The last Time I was at Big 5 I noticed 9mm at 10.00 a box and up.

    Just 2 years ago I was buying it at 4.69 a box.

    I shoot alot of 22's and the 550 federal sucks. The misfires were few, but the bullet wonders like crazy. Winchesters are good for the money though.

    I hate to be the one to break it to you Jacob But you'll find out in life that the words "good" and "cheap" dont go together. Good luck in your search. All of the above web sites have average deals. Just bite the bullet and order some. In three months when you check the prices again you'll be glad you did.

    Jacob, I know what you are looking for. You seem to have the best info at hand to get what you are wanting. In all truth, reloading is BEST. You get twofold what you want, accurate ammo AND lowest possible price. If the price of brass bothers you, place an add in the paper or at the local range for your "wants" in brass. Perhaps even get on good terms with other reloaders to make quanity buys where you all order at the same time to save money in quanity and shipping.

    You want the BEST bang for the buck, it all about reloading. In that you KNOW all the components you use (powder, bullet, brass, ect.) and can't say the same of factory loads.

    Thanks guys, Sorry I jumped about the comments, but what i meant was Good ammo but the cheapest you can find it around.



    Yeah, Im going to buy a bunch up, if i cant shoot it up, if nothing else whtn poop hits the fan ill be able to trade it for other goods. And its coming soon.

    Im going to go to walmart, I think its 25.00 for 100 rounds of shotgun shells at the local one right now, Ill have to see if the sale is still going, if so, ill offer it to anyone here that wants it for shipping charges and the actual charge

    Jacob, you're 15. You should be worried about girls and getting through high school, not some apocalyptic meltdown of society that is never going to come. Seriously.
