Bulk Ammo

[Pikemaster101]

Where is the cheapest place to buy bulk 223 ammo is there any cheap web sites out there?

I used to buy 7.62 x 39 in bulk from Cabela's that was pretty cheap. That may be an option for you.

I don't really know what "cheap" is anymore for ammo, though. I used to get 500 rds of that ammo for $45! Now I think the same goes for $140 . I would also get 500 rds of .40 S&W for $50 and now that is $155 .

I've looked at .223 ammo along with many other calibers online lately but it seems by the time you add in shipping it's not much cheaper. Sometimes I'll find a deal somewhere and come to find out it's sold out! Hopefully ammo prices start to fall soon.

The ammo companies are having a hard time keeping up with the demand especially in the popular calibers like .223 - .556 - .308

.45 - 9mm and 7.62x39.

Even some of the more desired reasonable handguns and rifles have gone way up.

I just waited nearly 6 weeks for a handgun and it was over $150 more than I could have purchased it last summer. ARs are flying off the shelves IF you can even find one.

Between the economy and anti-gunners, people are worried and want to make sure they can protect themselves if the time ever would come.

I started reloading about 2 years ago......it would pay for itself if it wasn't a hobby.....hobbies are never cheap.....I can crank out 223 rounds for about 23 cents a piece, if you already have the brass that is.
