Ammo Subscription Good Idea Terrible Execution
« on: December 04, 2021, 08:52:22 PM »
So Federal is starting a Ammo Subscription Service. I would totally be onboard with Monthly scheduled deliveries of Ammo. I’m even somewhat partial to Federal. I like their Syntech a lot.

This however is not how to do this.

Over .50 a round for their American Eagle brand in 9mm never mind the .40 and .45 prices? I’m even ok with that brand though it isn’t my favorite, but this is not a good price at all. If they want to get something like this going which I think is a fantastic idea you have to at least make the pricing competitive. I’d even pay a little premium for the guarantee of monthly delivery. Not that much though when I can get good quality brass cased FMJ for closer to .34 a round for 9mm all day long and prices are still dropping.

Just noticed this post.  Yes, gun people are cheap.  Convenience only goes so far.


Some gun people buy AK's on sale after all.
