Best ammo prices?
In light of our new president's extreme dislike for weapons and the possibilities we may be facing, I want to stock up on ammo. I'm buying a full size safe that I'm having installed in my walk in closet in the master bedroom. I'd like to fully stock it with ammo.................... just in case.
So, does anyone have any suggestions on where to get the best prices? We need:
.45ACP
.40cal.
.22LR
.380cal.
.223 (rifle)
12 gauge 00 Buck (shotgun)
.410 gauge buck

I know the price is unbeatable, but stay away from Wolf ammo for your .45 and .223. Corrosive primers and steel casings will eventually take their toll on 1911's, Glocks and AR's. A .223 AK can fire them forever without a problem, but non-soviet guns are built to pull brass, not steel. |

Wolf ammo is not corrosive.It isn't the most accurate but it is alright.
I shop mostly at ammunitiontogo and ammoman.There are a few other outlits though.And in some cases Walmart or sports stores like Bass pro shop is actually the best way to go.

It's true that not all Wolf is corrosive primed, but if there is a way to tell which is and which isn't, I'm unaware of it. |

We bought a reloader and started making our own ammo this year. This is definitely the way to go to save money.

I've been thinking of buying a reloader for a long time. 30/06 can get pretty expensive as does 30/40, 303 and 8mm. Besides from what I have heard it a great hobby. |
