Where are people buying bulk ammo these days?

It has been at least 6-7 years since I bought ammo in bulk, I think it was 5k of 5.56 I got from ammo man. For the most part, I pick up a box or two of what I need from Wal-Mart.

I am finishing up my .300 blk SBR and want to pick up 2500+ rounds. What’s everyone’s favorite online retailer?

Thanks in advance.

SGAmmo.
If a CA resident gets a C&R FFL (Federal, $33, good for 3 years) and a COE or Certificate of Eligibility (CA DOJ, $75, good for one year) then they are exempt from the no online ammo nonsense and SGAmmo can ship to your house.

all things considered, Georgia arms is still my go to. In Ca i need to go through an ffl but I have a guy that will do it for nothing. Not as convenient as having it shipped direct but cost wise basically the same.

Palmetto State Armory, when on sale with free shipping (usually for buying 10+ or 20+ boxes).
Brownells, with discount codes/coupons.

SG Ammo.

I always check there first. They provide great service, package the ammunition well, ship promptly, and don’t rape the customer on shipping. I just ordered 1000 rounds of 300 Blackout ammunition after confirming that Brownells didn’t have what I wanted in stock, and it would have been more expensive from them even with free shipping.

Thanks for all the feedback. SG Ammo had some great pricing as did others but shipping was adding up.

In case anyone was interested I ended up going with Primary Arms. They currently have $50 off $500 (they have $10 off 100, $30 off $300, etc) and I was buying a scope from them which ended up giving me free shipping on the entire order. Ultimately ended up giving me the best final pricing.

Here is a link to the ammo I got.

SG Ammo now for pistol ammo. Natchez Shooters Supply has good deals too. Outdoor Limited as well.

Ammunition To Go used to be a good site, but they have gotten expensive. Too bad because they are close to me.

I've got a couple things on Target Sports USA with "notify me" set, but it's been a few days and nothing heard.

SG Ammo, with shipping, would be about 5¢/round more expensive for Fed. AE.

I've an LGS that has Remington on sale for 34¢/round after tax. I'd probably do that, first.

If they ever get stock! I've had three or four .45 ACP ball ammo types on "notify me" for nearly two weeks and nada.

Good thing I'm in no hurry.
