I just got a couple cases of various fodder on the way from PSA. Wasn't lucky enough to catch free shipping on all of it, but enough of it to take some of the sting out.

As I was poking around this morning on some of the various large ammo sites, I was struck by how many of them were out of stock in popular 9 mm, .38 and .357 self-defense cartridges. It was as bad as going to my local Cabela's. Is there some sort of generalized ammunition shortage or lack of manufacturing capacity these days?

I use http://www.gunbot.net/ for finding up-to-date online prices. It lists total price and price-per-round and allows you to sort results on either, as well as age, brand, or store. It lists all the standard calibers. I've found it very useful.

SGammo is still my primary source for bulk ammo. PSA does sales on specific stuff with free shipping sometimes.

I have bought a few boxes elsewhere, but not much. I have been shopping Lucky Gunner and Ventura Munitions, but haven't bought much from either.

This may be entirely user error on my part, but when I went to use gunbot and ammoseek, to search for 'Federal 9BP', I was not successful. The agglomeration sites are great, but if I have to search umpteen text lines on multiple pages to try and spot a needle in the haystack, that is not of much use to me.

Natchez Shooter Supply and LAX Ammo are my current favorites. LAX ammo offers a discount from Garand Thumb.

I'm trying to buy some reasonably priced plinking ammo in .32 ACP right now and just about everyone is sold out of the cheap stuff. All of those Cheetas coming in.

Ammoman has Fiochi at .29 per round for 1000

I usually go with Midway or Brownells, but I never heard of most of the nominations in this thread. My guess is they're cheaper, I'll bookmark them and take a look.

Most of my ammo lately has been coming from these guys

Brownells does do those 10% days almost weekly. They have good prices on some things, but not others.

One of the reasons I like SGAmmo is they carry 50 round boxes of Federal HST or Speer Gold Dot self defense ammo for reasonable prices. And they ship fast.

Hear hear. Surprisingly difficult to find some of the good self-defense loadings in 50 round boxes.

Aim surplus is still one of my favorites. I found them because of C&R guns but those are drying up. Still some good ammo deals there though.

So I just ordered $ 135 worth of .38 and .357 ammunition (240 rounds total) from Target Sports USA. They seemed to have a pretty good selection and pricing and shipping from Connecticut to Washington was not too bad.

I took the SGAmmo recommendation to order 1000 rounds of .300 Blackout and misc other stuff. Super happy with the prices and service. Fast delivery.

Beat me to it.

My UPS guy probably hates our house and me personally because of AIM.

Just ordered 1,000 rounds of Privi .32 ACP from AIM Surplus.

$260 delivered.

I've gotten some good deals through Bud's Gun Shop for some of the not so common calibers I have.
