Looking for some guidance on new source for Ammo, and I may as well start buying in bulk. Does any one have a source in the Florida to buy bulk ammo as a competitive price? Hate to say it but, Walmart had become my main source because of convenience... Would really like to start supporting a local supplier but their price needs to be reasonable.
Obviously could start buying through the nationals companies, Academy Sports, Dick's Sporting Goods, Brownells, etc.... but need to find something Florida local. Maybe visit gun show in Deland this weekend? Is the "Florida Gun & Knife Shows" worth the effort?
Thank you for the help in advance! Hammer
Walmart ammo alternatives in Florida?
I often find great prices with free shipping here.

It's all about the price-per-round to my door. Gas & driving time to brick and mortar stores counts in the price.

Florida Gun Exchange in Ormond Beach has some good deals on ammo.
there is no walmart alternative, no company had that buying power, you may see loos leader sales from places at close to those everyday prices, but get used to ordering in bulk or paying more.
Our phone has been ringing off the hook about ammo since the walmart shelves went bare and right now I havent decided if tying up a bunch of money in inventory to make a $1-2 per box to keep the cheap SOB's in check is worth dealing with it...
still how long am I gonna have to sit on a case of ammo to make $20, and thats not even figuring I carry 9mm in 115g,124g,148g etc, some ass hat gonna want something different, lets not even get into all the dbags that want some specialty self defense ammo, we get killed in shipping too for just ordering 1-2 boxes of something
we will have to wait and see what happens

I still don't see what all the turmoil is about.
If you're in a situation where you need ammo RIGHT NOW then you ignored the last ammo shortage and failed to prepare.
If you're not, just order it and get the same (or better) price and have a nice UPS driver drop it on your doorstep.
I just don't understand why everyone is flipping out because Walmart stopped stocking certain ammo.

Agree. Ammoseek is the guide to most, if not all, ammo distributors’ prices.flcracker wrote: ↑Tue Jan 21, 2020 10:53 am I often find great prices with free shipping here.

TC6969is right. No need for immediacy; prior preparation prevents poor performance.
I’d just add, stick with the major distributors to avoid grief and “issues.” I’d recommend ammoman.com, lg-outdoors, natchezss.com, midway. Standard “shopping” technique, let your fingers do the walking and get the sales. The woman in your life can instruct you if you haven’t yet learned.

Exactly. EVERYONE has to make some money. We all provide a product or service and need to make a living.rentprop1 wrote: ↑Tue Jan 21, 2020 12:06 pm there is no walmart alternative, no company had that buying power, you may see loss leader sales from places at close to those everyday prices, but get used to ordering in bulk or paying more.

Walmart put A LOT of places out of business and pays their employees slave wages... THAT is why they sold so cheaply.
Dentists make money, truck dealers make a profit, animal clinics charge well for their service... but gun shops should sell at nearly cost?

Best deal is Target Sport USA particularly if you buy a membership for $95.00 and you buy enough to make the extra 8% discount work. Cases are shipped free (Individual boxes are free if you become a member)

Sam at SGA is another good bulk outlet

Don't take my or anyone else' word for it check out the various sites for your brand as the difference might be better for the one you want at a site that might be higher on what I want.

I second SGA. Never had a problem, great prices.
