Did you stock up on ammo while the getting was good?

[Danner013]

Brownells is running a no hazmat fee/free shipping deal on primers thru 10/11. I just ordered more 4k more pistol primers. I got caught short last go around and intend to ensure I have primers and powder to spare.

They go quick, that's for sure. I've waited too long or didn't find out until too late many times before. I've got an AmmoSeek alert set up for primers. I get an email when certain brands are available. Even then, sometimes they're out by the time I sign in.

Compare whatever with what American Reloading has in stock (their pricing includes shipping & hazmat).

NormaUsa has Servicios Aventorus small pistol primers @ $49.99/K ("free" shipping over $150. No hazmat), if you want to try them.

In addition to the standard brands (CCI, Winchester, Federal et al) I've tried Fiocchi LP primers and Aguila SP primers. They seem to work well. The Aguila sometimes seem to show black around the firing pin indentation in 9mm loads but they ignite reliably. Hadn't heard of the Servicios Adventorus.

Always worth acquiring a good deal

Nice. But I'm still waiting for the GM210M's from Sportsmans that were supposedly due to be delivered October 2nd.

I ordered mine on maybe the 23rd of September from sportsman's. Got an email for delivery estimate for Oct 2nd. Got an email on the 2nd saying they should be delivered that day and I would receive an email when they were ready for pickup. The 2nd came and went and I finally got the email on the 7th that they were ready for pickup. This was shipped the the Vancouver location

The times I've used SG have been very good. Reasonable prices, free shipping on bulk orders, and fast shipping. Hard to beat.

I really liked LAX until they royally screwed up an order and it was a dumpster-fire of incompetence before they straightened it out, so, sadly, never again. For specialty ammunition, I've found Steinel and Buffalo Bore consistently excellent.

What's SG?

SGAmmo.

Are you guys talking about buying consumables online and having them shipped? I've used powder valley and defender ammunition but I hate having to pay the hazmat fees unless I can get a group order together. Buying projectiles I usually go through Xtreme bullet for bulk loads and Capitol cartridge for once fired brass

Yup. "Free" hazmat deals are back off& on, most places now.

SGAmmo.

I second CountryGent's experience with SGAmmo. They are typically my go to vendor because of their free shipping, excellent selection and good customer service. (I received no compensation for this opinion )

 

[Dozer99]

In the last few years there are just two places I have bought ammo- SGAmmo and Bi-Mart. By the way, Bi-Mart has federal 9mm on sale right now.

 

[orygun]

. By the way, Bi-Mart has federal 9mm on sale right now.

I was just there. Fairly full shelves of ammo, but no 357.

 

[NightMic]

Yea, I bought my self a case of 9mm blazer brass and 500 rnds of 223 while they were on sale. Now I'm debating going to bimart for their federal 9mm sale...

Just so happened they came in today, 8 eight days late. Just picked up today.

Now the NEW thing delayed is the Coyote Hunting Thermoseat Cushion.

Funny cuz when I picked up the Primers, they had one Thermoseat Cushion in stock.

 

[Danner013]

Both my orders arrived today - 4000 primers from Brownells and 1000 rounds of PPU 124g 9mm from SGAmmo. Now I'm waiting for USPS to deliver my Midway order. Been a busy day.

Received 2 cases of factory seconds small pistol primers from American Reloading yesterday. @ $43/K shipped, these are the closest to pre-plandemic pricing I'll likely ever see. (now out of stock)

The Servicios y Aventuras thru Norma USA come close @ $50/K shipped. (still in stock ATM bty...)

Mind, for me, these are simply for future use/dollar cost averaging of inventory. Am still working off of pre-plandemic small pistol primers stock. Mostly CCi.

If future pricing on common brands comes down? That'd be really great! Not counting on such tho...
