discount ammo? Where
Is there a secret to finding discounts on ammunition? From what research I have done, Cheaper than Dirt beats Bass Pro hands down.'
I haven't compared their prices to other shops, such as: Academy Sports Cabella's Walmart etc Any inside tips? I thought I'd ask the salesclerks if they were hip to any upcoming sales on my rounds of preference, in my case .243 loads. |

Re: discount ammo? Where
Do you have any farm supply stores in your area? (Rural King, Blain's Farm & Fleet, etc. - ?) In my neck o'the woods, they always have the best prices, better than China-Mart (correction: Walmart), Dick's, etc.
Plenty of online sources, such as Natchez, but watch those shipping costs...

If you don't mind shooting re-manufactured stuff, USA Ammo has great prices.

What is the consensus on Sellier & Bellot Ammunition
I have seen online prices pretty low, but if there is any doubt as to the safety and reliability of their loads, it rather not save $! |

Re: discount ammo? Where
I like S&B to reload, I can always tell when an S&B casing hits the sizing die, by the effort required to de-cap and then re-seat a primer, but primer pockets stay snug for a long time. I'll take all the S&B casings ya want to send me. S&B is usually loaded a little hotter, so a bit more bark. CZ uses S&B for the testing on new guns and I have heard even designs their pistols with S&B ammo in mind.
