Just picked up some Federal FMJ from Ammo Depot in Rancho. They're asking $32 for a box of 50. Does anyone know where I can find something cheaper, just for plinking? I've been trying to hit Walmart in the mornings, but no luck so far.

Watch the ammo forum here. You can get 40 cal for $0.40-0.45 normally and a little cheaper if you're fast and lucky. Heck, I can walk into most stores now and get it for less than $32/50.

Also, gunbot is your friend. Freedom munitions had 500 rds for 196 shipped yesterday.

Gunbot is friggen awesome, wish I'd heard of it before. The guy at Ammo Depot told me upfront it was overpriced.

As much as I hate Wild Sports they usually have good prices on ammo. Been buying it there for years, which is why I don't need to but it now. Be patient and prices will recede.

stay away from small stores. that's all. chain stores won't raise their prices due to the scare, but you gotta know what time to show up.

$18.99-22 per box .40 S&W depending on brand.

The only good thing about Ammo Depot is that its in stock if you really must have it right then and now. Especially for those gunless friends that wanna go shooting with you and don't have ammo.

$19.99+tax is quite normal for a box of 50. SBR usually has some but not this week.

I really screwed up my post, it was the new Elk Grove Walmart. Also the Roseville Walmart on Lead Hill had PPU .223 for $7.97 a box on Tuesday.

I haven't seen any .40 at Walmarts lately, but online I have scored a few times. I got 250 bulk pack of BVAC from Natchez for $74+12 shipping with some other items and ammo. I have four or so 100 round packs of Win White box bulk for $39-$40 ea. I already had a ton of the LE JHP Federal from Cabella's that sold for $13 a box of 50 back before the madness, so I am good on .40.

I was at BIG 5 in Elk Grove TODAY about 10am and they had 250 round bulk pack of Fiocchi for $119... not too bad <$24 per box. They also had Winchester 100 round Value packs for $51 and Winchester 50 round boxes for $26. So decent stock level - the shelves looked full for a BIG 5 lately.

I know this is a .40 thread, but they had ZERO .22 LR, only Hornady 9mm Z-max 25 round packs of 9mm (I bought some as a gift for my picky little Millennium that hates flat nosed HP's), and only Winchester WB .308 ($21)... some 7.62x39, misc hunting rounds and shotgun shells that I didn't register.

The manager said he hadn't seen .22 in a few months - they did have .17 HMR on the shelf.

Finally found 165gr HP plated bullets in stock online, ordered 500. That will keep me going for a couple weeks. I'd cast my own if I could but they're going through a stock Glock barrel, so...

That's 64 cents per round amigo .. plus tax, and your gas and time.

250 rounds http://www.freedommunitions.com/40-S-W-180-gr-RNFP-p/fm40r180r-b0250.htm 48 in stock $0.317/round

500 Rounds http://www.freedommunitions.com/40-S-W-180-gr-RNFP-p/fm40r180r-b0500.htm 128 in stock $0.302/round

500 rounds shipped to NorCal .. $16.24 .. shows shipping from Spokane .. no tax .. yet .. Excellent vendor .. five orders. Cheers!

edit .. umm .. didn't catch the above posts re Freedom M .. apologies guys. Was pretty tickled to get 500 45apc in Nickle a while back .. no extra charge. My ONLY complaint, is that they pack their New 9mm in 100/bulk, like WW. Everything else has been racked beautifully.

Its Remington UMC 180 grn plinkers.

Ammo prices are what they are. Even my .32 auto ammo costs a lot. 32, 9mm, 38, 40... all cost about the same. Why spend hours searching to save 2ยข per round?

Don't buy ammo from that place, they charge way too much. Gunbot.net is a good place to find the best prices.

I bought some BVAC bulk FMJ rounds in 250 packs for $74 shipped a while back - I would think they would be at least that cheap still. It was from one of the big three mail order... I don't remember which. Cabela's, Midway, Gander.

Midway has Ultramax reloads for that price ($73.99), but no free shipping and it is a backorder.

I buy most of my Win White box from cabela's as 100 packs. $35-$40 per. Ilike the 165 grain when they are in stock.

Lol, that's insane. My walmart in Roseville is usually good about having .40. Just got a box of 100 for $37

Ammo Depot has not been my favorite ammunition store. They specialize in cartridges - but they will not special order anything I need. I've tried to deal with them. You'd think they, if anyone, would occasionally stock some match .22LR. They do not. They will not. And they won't even contemplate it.

...Which is why I have to use the internet for match ammo.
