I've bought Blazer on line for $.30/round. Of course, there is shipping and tax but that adds about 2.5 cents per round. However, the local gun stores and Cabelas are running similar Blazer and practice rounds at 40 cents for 9mm FMJ.
The on line is convenient and avoids me going past the award winning BBQ restaurant next to the LGS which is bad for my figure.
Time to buy before November?
Might be for me. I'm (relatively) low in all calibers. I'm taking a look at my inventory now, but may be time to pick up a stock of range ammo sufficient to take a class or three over the next few years. Plus some carry ammo.
This is where I am at. I don't shoot nearly as much as I'd like these days, but my pre-COVID stock has dwindled, and I've been waiting for the right moment. Now may be the time.
If you find a compelling deal on 9mm, would you mind posting the make, model and source you settle on? I have come to value your ability with charts, graphs, and various such things over the years, RJ. I may just resort to "WWRJD" strategy for acquisitions like buying Nancy Pelosi stocks.
This is not the best deal out there, but close enough for government work. I have a soft spot for these guys as they’re the official ammo supplier for TacCon. You order in advance, either 300 or 1000 rounds, and it’s delivered to TacCon with no shipping fee. If you’re flying in from out of town, it saves you the hassle of trying to find ammo the evening before. https://www.omusha-ammo.com/products...m124g-pmp-5241
It’s South African 9mm 124 and I’ve found it to be reliable, accurate and consistent. This is what it’d be for two cases plus shipping (no sales tax if shipped outside Texas), and I can confirm that they do ship fast:
Eh I dunno about that.
Lately I’ve been buying Federal HST, both 124 standard for 9mm and 230 in .45 ACP. I’ve gotten my last few orders from either TargetSportsUSA or Velocity Ammo. For .38, I found some Gold Medal Match target wadcutters, I believe that was from Federal direct.
I am not sure what I’d go for in terms of 9mm target ammo. Previously I used American Eagle 124 and it’s run fine, so that’s what I’d probably order.
I don't buy non-carry factory 9mm anymore, but I'm planning on buying another 10k small pistol primers in a month or two. I've already got proportionally more powder than primers. Brass and bullets I don't worry about as much.
My days of multi-hundred-round practice sessions are in the past. It's been a while since I've exceeded 100 rounds in a session. Most of my shooting is with my handloads, and I've got enough components for probably 8k of various calibers plus a bunch of 9x19 and .40 S&W factory ammo. I'm not stressing.
