Which Is Your Favorite Online Ammo Dealer?

[Glenn B]

My go to and favorite online ammo dealer is TargetSportsUSA.com out of CT. They have very competitive prices. Yet, if you see them on a site like AmmoSeek, their prices will usually not seem that great - that is until you consider they have free shipping on cases of ammo. So if comparing them to other dealers, on the prices of a case of ammo, you need to compare prices with free shipping from them figured into your comparison. That usually makes their price for a case of ammo the best price or darned close to it. They usually ship out fast although now that I am in TX it takes longer for anything from them to get to me than it did when I was in NY but regardless of that, they get the orders out pretty fast. The one or two times I used their customer service, it was excellent as well.

They also have a Prime membership for $95.00 for a year. What that gets you is a discount on all ammo orders, free shipping on all ammo orders (not just on cases of ammo), free shipping on anything else you buy from them like magazines or accessories, and some sort of free gift from them based upon your past orders which is sent to you in the third quarter of your membership (if I understand that right). I joined their Prime membership last month and have already made back just over $60 of the membership cost in savings on discounted ammo and shipping.

SGAmmo, LAX Ammo, Surplus Ammo, Academy (believe it or not). Did not realize you were a Yankee. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

But it explains a lot.

I have had good luck with Midway, although lately haven't found the deals I did a year or so ago.

I don't have one favorite. Whichever has the best price including shipping. So it's between SGammo, Target sports USA, Palmetto State Armory, Outdoor Limited, Brownell's, and Academy.

Sgammo and Brownell's are usually all I need.

Any idea of how much the discount is?

Keep in mind that as of October 1st, Target Sports will be collecting sales tax for Texas. On a case of ammo, that will be roughly around the same as shipping at some of the more honest vendors out there who aren't yet charging tax.

I go with who has the best shipped price and right now that tends to be SGAmmo and Brownells. YMMV

Have not calculated it.

Edited to add: Just calculated it on two different types of ammo that I bought today, it was 8% off the price, plus free shipping.

SGammo, but PSA and Natchez Shooting Supply have some deals sometimes; PSA on 5.56 especially if you just want some more Pmags.

Sgammo.

I've ordered from SG Ammo in the past but their shipping cost became prohibitive when I was in Cuomoistan. Their rates to ship to anywhere in TX must be considerably lower. I've also used Aim Surplus and PSA. Since I started using Target Sports USA as my go to ammo dealer, I pretty much have used Aim Surpus only when they have something I need that TSUSA does not have in stock or if they have an exceptional deal.

Same goes for PSA, I use them when TSUSA is out of stock or when they sometimes have exceptional daily deals. For instance, back in May I ordered one of their daily deals: Federal 5.56 NATO 55gr FMJ 420rds in Ammo Can - XM193LC1 that at that time was selling for $139.99 at PSA and ten Magpul 30 round AR mags that usually sell for $12.95 apiece at PSA. My cost was $199.99 with free shipping and no tax. So, saying I paid the $139.99 for the ammo, that means I got the ten PMAG AR15 magazines for a total of $60 or $6.00 apiece. That was not a bad deal at all; I wish I had ordered two of those deals. I think they made a mistake on that deal when they posted it but who knows - maybe they were feeling generous.

I've bought from all the places listed so far. There are also some that are good for specialty items and should be mentioned.

If you need competition ammo like Tenex with specified lot numbers, .32 wadcutter, .223 loaded with 80 and sometimes 90 grain bullets, .220 Russian match brass by Lapua, etc., try Champions Choice.

For oddball calibers you can't find easily, there's Old West Scrounger. There are one or two other players in this space, but I can't remember their names since I use them so rarely.

Champion’s Choice is where I have gotten all of my match grade .22 ammo.

You have to want what they have in stock and buy in bulk. Up until a couple of years ago it was only 500 rounds or more. Shipping is included over $99.

My two most often were SGammo and Ammoman (which no one has mentioned yet).

I recently bought a case of 762x39 from Grabagun and was impressed with their service.

Brownell's has been unbeatable with their x39 lately. $180 for 1000 shipped is about as good as you're gonna get it.
