Low price target 45 ACP ammo

TX Husker Fan · August 24th, 2008, 12:41 AM

I always hear people talk about where to find low priced(not cheap quality) ammo out there. I thought maybe someone online has something low priced but I never see it compared to the local Wal Mart that sells Winchester 45 ACP FMJ 230 gr by 100 round boxes for $29.99. Everything I see online costs more then that everywhere. Was just curious if that is about as low as you can get anywhere for target ammo or if anyone knew of somewhere that gets any lower then that. Was just curious even though I think that price is hard to beat.

It is hard to beat. Especially after you factor in shipping for an on-line purchase. I went to 9 mm. so the ammo is cheaper yet, but I still stock up at W/M.
The price everywhere is going up, so pick up a couple boxes every time you shop.

Every time someone says there is a great deal online, I go there and find it's not such a great deal anymore.

I have yet to find anyone that sells ammunition cheaper than Wal-Mart. The CCI Blazer (brass case) run about $14 for 50 in .45 acp. I bought a 9mm for more target shooting. Normally, I believe 9mm runs $9 for a box of 50 for CCI Blazer Brass. However, today Academy Sports (Sporting Goods chain down here) was running CCI Blazer 9mm for $7.49 a box (in the aluminum case) which is the first time I've seen anyone cheaper than Wal-Mart. I bought a case of it (1000 rounds) just to have for plinkin ammo.

For me, I want to shoot alot, but can't afford to shoot hundreds of rounds of .45 acp. So I bought two guns that are almost identical (one in .45 and the other in 9mm). I shoot the 9mm for more practice, and carry the .45 on a daily basis (although I have no hesitation carrying the 9mm).

Check around local for the Independence and Speer Lawman brands of ammo in the 50ct boxes for $14 or less. That's what I've been getting lately for the 45acp. I have yet to have any problems out of them.

I guess I might get a 9mm for target practice if ammo is that cheap, although I will always prefer to carry a 45 for personal carry. Still have preferred a 45 to the 9mm.

I have not found anything less expensive than Winchester 100 count at Walmart.

Once in a while, I can get Independence ammo a bit cheaper on sale but most of the time, Wal-Mart has the best price.

But how do you come out ahead of WalMart WWB @ 29.00/100 after paying shipping, RR?
