What’s your secret?
Now mind you, I have no idea what ammo used to cost, so I’m not in sticker shock like some buying now. But I do know it’s a lot more expensive than it was.
I ordered 2 boxes from ammo.com earlier this week because today was my permit class and I had to have 50 rounds. I ordered last Sunday; they shipped out Monday and arrived here Tuesday afternoon. That was Fedex Ground; I didn’t expedite. Service highly recommended.
The ammo itself was $40 a box. It looks like the shipping is about the same, whether you buy 2 boxes or 8 boxes (about $15-$16). For example, if I were to order 7 boxes it would cost $323.69 total, for a cost of about $47 per box of 50. That’s for a Speer.
In the second case, the gun store where I bought my gun earlier this week just happened to get in a shipment of Sellier & Bellot. He charged $35 for a box of 50 out the door. So the online price isn’t out of line I don’t think; it’s the shipping that hits hard.
