Outdoor Marksman Ammo

Having been down this path several times myself - and having tried pretty much every online ammunition sales available - here is my personal experience with a few. Keep in mind that these deals I made were over the course of the last two years, so prices have changed significantly. I will use general comparisons - from an average consumer perspective on Wolf .223 steel cased ammo - using todays online prices.

GRATUITOUS RANT INSERTED HERE:

WTF does the war have to do with Wolf Russian Steel Cased Ammo prices going up? This pisses me off, and I should have bought 20,000 rounds last year at the local Gander Mountain when they were selling 1000 rounds of Wolf .223 steel for $169.

Without getting into the Wolf steel versus Brand X brass debate (save that for another thread)... here is my experience:

AMMOMAN (http://www.ammoman.com) - A little higher priced, but advertised prices INCLUDE shipping. No hassle, FAST delivery (48 hours). My last buy, was ordered Tuesday (morning) - delivered Thursday (afternoon). Your results may differ.

The deal of the day @ Ammoman is 3,000 rounds of Wolf .223 steel case 55gr FMJ delivered for $777 or $0.26 / cents per round

Outdoor Marksman - Comparable price, with shipping added. Delivery was within 3-4 days from time of order placed. It was a PAIN for me because they require ADULT SIGNATURE for delivery. It was advertised at $0.22 / cents per round - but DID NOT include shipping. Add shipping and it came out to $0.24 cents per round.

Sportsmans Guide - Moderate priced, but stock not always available. By the time they notified me they were out - other deals (like ammoman) had been bought up. Price is $220 per 1000 plus delivery. With delivery it cost me $0.25 cents per round. ADULT SIGNATURE required for delivery.

For pistol ammo, I have found Wal-Mart to be the cheapest for Blazer Brass cased and Winchester white box brass cased. Blazer recently had a price increase, but Winchester .45 white box was $31.44 per 100 (tax included) or $0.32 cents per round out the door.

In comparison, Ammoman sells you .45 Speer Lawman 230gr brass cased target ammo for $329 per 1000 delivered - or $0.33 cents per round delivered to your door step.

Ammoman sells .40SW Speer Lawman 165gr brass reloadable @ $269 per 1000 - delivered to your door.

Regardless - do the math, consider shipping (get solid quotes before you commit to buy) and determine if the ADULT SIGNATURE requirement is a hindrance to you.

Just my :2cents:

Good luck!
