Places to Buy Bulk Ammo in Austin

[kerryp]

Just curious where you can buy bulk ammo in Austin (i.e. 500-1000 rounds). I don't mind ordering offloine if I need to, but I like to keep business local when possible to help out the local folks. I know Cabelas sells bulk, but I'm curious if there are other storefronts that sell .223/5.56 bulk cheap ammo. I am looking for stuff that I can shoot through my new AR that does not cost me a fortune,

Which brings up another point, what have you guys shot through your ARs? What cheap ammo works good for target shooting, and what is a good ammo if I want to keep a magazine or two loaded with personal protection?

This list of places can include the towns surrounding Austin (Bastrop, Leander, Round Rock, Georgetown, etc.).

I buy mine at GT Distributors. I paid $89 for 250 count bulk box of .45 and $370 for 1000 5.56 rounds. Unfortunately, they only sell to public safety employees and agencies. Know a cop, paramedic or firefighter?

Call Heritage Firearms and ask their prices, they seem pretty reasonable. Wolf 5.56 was $7/20.

+1 on GT if you are buying a firearm or a lot of other stuff sometimes they bend the poloicy on ammo.

as far as the wolf 5.56 for 7/20 you can beat that at academy

Maybe we can help sometime...

Just in case you don't find what you're looking for locally, feel free to contact us or check the website for current inventory. We usually have quite a selection in stock and it changes almost daily. If you don't see it call and ask me if I can get it. Here is a direct link to the ammo pages: Cope's Distributing

GT's policies seem to have changed a bit. They now have certain ammo marked as available for civilian sales. Even before then they rarely asked if you were LEO. Much like Glock, I think they get better pricing from some manufacturers and those are reserved for LEO. My bulk ammo used to come from gunshows, but I guess that ain't happening any more. I have bought remanufactured handgun ammo from Collins Cartridge and had good results with 9 & 45. From what I can tell he only runs 55gr stuff for the AR which doesn't do well out of my 1:7 barrel.

You could always reload. If you plan to shoot alot, it is a good investment and hobby.

GT sells almost everything to civilian, just called them.

I buy and sell guns and ammo. What brand of ammo are you looking at?

Hi Cool Breeze, I am always looking for decently priced 9mm ammo both for the range and for home defense. I don't really know enough to prefer a certain brand. I would like to know what you have available.

GT's is weird about that stuff. They have to buzz you in the front door...they used to make you flash a badge although that has gone by the way side in the last couple years.
Then after the election they quit letting individual officers buy more than a couple boxes of ammo at a time...now they seem to be backing off of that a little. I really think it depends on what salesman you happen to get. I have really been lucky, everytime I go to pick up a department order, which is always 5-10 thousand rounds, they let me buy whatever I want for myself without question. I have been at the gun counter and heard them tell others that there is a limit on ammo.
I have to say that either way they are my favorite place to buy guns and ammo....very knowledgeable and they usually have whatevr you want in stock....it is a gun nut's toy store.

If you want cheap it is hard to beat academy's monarch brand...

Just got back from Cabela's and they have a lots of the bulk ammo in those green dry boxes. First time I have seen bulk Wolf 9mm there. Academy has a sale right now on the Monarch 9mm for $10.00 a box.

BEWARE the Monarch on sale at Academy. A buddy of mine bought 600 rds last week. We went to the range and at least 3 of every 10 either misfired or fte. I would think it was the gun, but this was happening in his brand new Ruger SR9c and my Sig p225.

you can get federal 9mm ammo at wal mart for 7.99 all day.
