Benelli M4: Inexpensive ammo for range?

[vulcan]

Hi everyone, I recently picked up an M4 and Im trying to get information on cheap ammo for shooting that I can ideally purchase online.

Also, can anyone recommend some good ammo for time off of the range spent in the post-apocalyptic wasteland?

I apologize Im new to shotguns.

Walmart. 100 packs of Remingon, Federal or Winchester.

ditto, +1 for this, you can't go any cheaper than the local wally world (if they sell them, not all do, call and check)

This. My M4 eats it like nothing and asks for more. Doesn't hurt the wallet too bad either. Wouldn't use it in the post apocalyptic wasteland unless you are hunting birds though.

walmart for both bird and buck. my Walmart has the blue box of federal #8 for like 4.67 and its cheaper than in the 100 round value pack.

ive had bad luck with the walmart big box of winchester but great luck with the remington.

lol, thanks for the replies, can I buy these 100 round value packs online, say through cabela's or cheaperthandirt etc?

Cabelas has a free shipping promotion going on through to the 17th...

What would be some good "defensive" load ammo for bipedal omnivores (or zombies)?

walmart blue federal box is $467 for 25. the 100 packs are 100 for $21.97
for practice I use the walmart Wincheter slugs ( $3.17 for 5) and the oo buck ( for $9.47 for 15).

for self defence use any brang name quality oo buck, #4 buck or slugs (avoid slugs for most HD). also Wincheter has an intersting load of 3 oo buck on top of a slug. patterns very nicely in my M4 too.

What are you going to shoot, 5 stand, skeet, trap, paper? It makes a difference. If it's paper, you need to find out what the range that you are going to be shooting at allows. The range I go to only allows slugs for paper and at a minimum distance of 50 yards. For 5 stand or trap, I use Winchester or Remington ammo. The Winchester 100 round packs I get at Walmart and the Remington 250 packs I get at Bass Pro.

Thanks for the replies, there seem to be some good deals on ammunitiontogo.com.

I am shooting paper at Chabot, (is that trap?) Ive seen people shooting pellets there, will double check to see what ammo they allow.

For defensive load, Im looking at this ammo on Cabelas, is it any good?



FEDERAL 12GA BUCKSHOT PER 175 W/AMMO CAN

Yes that is good ammo. But there might be something better for your gun. We should buy several different typs and test out the pattern they leave.
even people with the same gun have different results with the same ammo. I have not done it yet and dont worrie alot about it but I was just tryin to relay the best advice I could in case you want to get that deep.

Ok thanks, I also heard elsewhere but have not confirmed that nobelsport 00 12 gauge is good ammo and can be found here for a decent price:

12 Gauge NobelSport LE 2 3/4 12 pellet 00 Buckshot

If you were to purchase a few hundred defensive rounds would you go with the nobelsport or the federal in the previous post?

Im also interested in getting some good quality, relatively inexpensive slugs. Any recommendations?

The value packs of 7.5 bird shot from Walmart are great. 1 1/8 oz will cycle reliably in Benellis, 1oz may be hit/miss.

same with me. Avoid the winchester target ammo. I don't know if it works better after break in but I'll never know cause I'm never buying that crap again.
