soomaLarge quantity purchase of common ammo
Does anyone know of a good source for large quantity purchase, 10,000 rds or more?
Only looking at 9mm, 5,56 and 308.
Thanks!

SigmundHere's a drum with 14,000 rds of Win M193 for $9,100. I suspect shipping won't be cheap.

Thanks for the reminder of those two MT companies.

honestlou10,000 rounds is not enough to get a quantity discount. I suggest you keep watching for specials, and buy when prices are good. Look through this section and you’ll find lots of examples. The last 9mm I bought was at $209/1000 from Academy Sports, brass cased, but that had to be local pickup.
Last December I bought Geco 124 gr for $223/1000, and that was shipped.

smschulzI know 10K seems like a lot but in the grand scheme of things it really isn't.
When I first got hit hard with the shooting bug, I thought ... I really want to buy BIG, really BIG ... Like 500 rounds at a time {me snickering now}.

My concept of quantity was bit off to say the least.
Now I never buy less than a case (1K) and have bought 3 or 4 cases at a time regularly.
Nothing more than that never made good financial sense from what I found or what I could shoot.
But alas with (rifle only now)reloading makes for a continuous supply.

sig226fanI buy from
SGAmmo for much of my buys. You’ll get free shipping for orders over $200.
Locked & Loaded also has good deals, but charge shipping but no tax.
Target sports as listed above is good to go as well.

smschulzIt's always a good idea to keep tabs via AmmoSeek.com as well.
Factor in deals, discounts, shipping costs and taxes to optimize the deal.

thumperfbcBack when I was buying ammo for my department we used MiWall for ammo. It would have been cheaper to switch to Target Sports USA, and they said it was no problem to handle our volume (an order might be 50k 45acp and 500k 40sw or 9mm) but they only wanted to deal with credit cards and my employer would only work with purchase orders.
In the amounts you're talking, Target Sports is where I would look.
