Interested if anyone has a good website they use for ammo—specifically 7.62; 5.56, 9mm rounds.

I have used several sites (cheaper than dirt mainly) but everything seems nuts now. I know prices are high but curious if anyone has a go to that is reasonable but also has reliable ammo. Not a fan of reloads.

Thanks in advance.

Gun prices up too. Folks worried what might happen if the gun control freaks get in charge. Guns being bought up like crazy.

No such thing right now. You might get lucky if you stalk an Academy store at opening and beat the rest of the line to the ammo, but there are no cheap sites. Cheaper than Dirt is the flat out worst, gouging the daylights out of people. Rural King (at least the one I go to) has been reliable for 308, but the rest of those calibers are like gold now.

The ammo manufacturers got burned by the last election when everyone was panic buying pre-Hillary, and decided this time around they were not going to boost production to avoid sitting on a ton of inventory if things went the same way. That, plus the record number of new gun owners because of Covid and the civil unrest all looking for ammo, and you have the perfect storm of suck for the ammo market.

I use Sportsmans Guide, Natchez Supply, Midway, and Cabelas. None have any inventory to speak of. You just have to find a stocked shelf, or jump online at the right time.

Check ammoseek.com you can search for whatever caliber you're after and it searches all over the web for it... But you're probably not going to find too many good buys right now

Found some 9mm and 556 for reasonable (for 2020) prices in bulk on sgammo and luckygunnger this morning. Might be gone quick but worth a look.

Midway had .223 yesterday and apparently BPS put up some .22lr overnight but it's already gone.
