Recommendations for Bulk 9MM Ammo?

[SteveinHNL]

I would like to order a reliable 9MM range ammo to be sent to my FFL in California, in bulk about 1-2 K rounds at a time.

Where do you folks source your reliable practice ammo? Can you post a link?

Aloha,
Steve

Brownells, palmetto state armory, targetsportsusa, outdoor limited,

Look at ammo seek

Web site to search for ammo

[hermosabeach]

And as always - if buying bull ammo - it's not returnable.

Do at least a quick search to see if others are having issues.

Some companies load Ammo to the absolute minimum saami spec

If you want to practice type 2 malfunctions, perfecta 9mm will tell you if you are not solid behind the gun.

I can shoot it no issue in an old Glock 17

Friends get a type 2 every 3-4 rounds.

Maybe the new batch is better

Is very weak Ammo.

I've seen bulk packs of Blazer (500 rnds) from out-of-state sources a couple of times in the low 20-cent range over the past few weeks.

Get your ffl-03. Then go to ammoseek. Some places do not charge sales tax and have free shipping.

What part of California ?? If you’re in central california I know a gun shop that has better than internet prices on bulk ammo. Walk in walk out with it

Get yourself a Dillon 750 and start cranking out your own. Reloading if a good way to save $$ as well as pass the time during rainy days/nights.


I can't tell you how many tens of thousands of rounds I've reloaded in various calibers....you really don't save much because you tend to shoot more. Once you find a recipe your gun likes, it's almost magical how much better you will be shooting.

I just use a local FFL and mostly order from targetsportsusa.

I subscribed to their Prime or Ammo+ program - no shipping cost irrespective of volume and also a 5-7% discount on most ammo. Worth it depending on the volume and variety you order.

Is a type 2 like an FTE? Where the E means extraction or ejection; and you would know which, if you were a trained operator...

We recently started carrying Grind Hard ammo and I have personally used this ammo in competitions and I will say that this ammo is good to go.

I've been ordering from Bereli. Blazer brass 124gr is $275 for 1,000 rounds, no tax and free shipping to your FFL of choice. The FFL I use charges $20 plus the $1 background check fee, and that's for up to four individual shipping boxes, and doesn't matter the size of the box. Bereli usually ships each 1,000 round case separately, so when I order four cases it's $21 total for the FFL.

Is that FFL fee structure for everyone or special for you? Charge per box, hmmm.
Do you mind sharing which FFL it is?

I made a mistake, it's $20 plus the $1 background check for the first three boxes, not the first 4 boxes (and boxes are referred to as shipping boxes, not each individual box of ammo). So if I ordered 3 cases of 1,000 rounds and each case was shipped separately (as they usually are because of the weight) I'd be changed $21 total for all three, and then an additional charge of $10 for each additional shipping box after that.

It's 29 Outdoor Gear in American Canyon. Awesome shop, great gunsmiths on site, and just all-around great folks to deal with. Very small shop but very big on customer service. I have done a few out of state PPT's there and had a couple firearms worked on, and they do fantastic work. Had them work on the trigger of my 686 and the trigger is amazing now. I have no affiliation with the shop other than being a satisfied customer.

Gun.deals

I like Blazer Brass. It's not always the cheapest, but it's consistent in quality and generally is near the bottom in terms of price.

Southern Defense has the Blazer bulk packs at about 22 cents per round (+tax, shipping) today.
