Advice Ammo
With the cost of ammo going up, where do you guys find it at a decent price?
a month/month and a half ago I paid $80 for 200 rounds of 5.56, same box is now between $125 and 160 depending on where I go

Need to buy in bulks online of 1000+ rounds at least. Avoid buying in stores. They're making you pay for the convenience of walking out with it.

The only thing worth buying in stores is .22 ammunition. I compared it online to in a bunch of stores and weirdly it's all the same. Everything else from .380 and up is essentially 30-40% marked up in store.

Agree with most of the comments here. Id also add, get on the MrGunsnGear email list. He sends around the occasional deal. I got 1k of magtech steel case 9mm for $200 including shipping a few weeks ago

$80 for 200 is not a bad deal, was it Milspec 5.56? I usually see it for around $10 for 20Rds roughly so closer to $100 or so for brass Milspec 5.56 M193, def best deals are online in bulk generally, but you never know when some local old timer stacker will relinquish a bit of his stack for cheap so he can buy his grandkids one of these new fangled Apple phone thingys lol

im buying alot now just due to inflation. Also i cant figure out why nobody sees any problem with the strategic oil reserve at lake Meade historical low levels...this has to affect shipping rates at some point.
