most of the time i get my ammo at Cabelas; when i have coupons for $$ off plus at times i have points to use up. And as i have a store just a few mins from me, i can use ship to store to save freight if needed.
Our local Gander was to be one that will reopen, just patiently waiting.........

The best source anywhere is right in your backyard. Huge inventory, prices at or close to the best you'll find anywhere, online inventory levels that makes it impossible to order something they don't have and great people. Search for Outdoor Limited in High Point. This isn't a store so you can't wander the aisles. You order online for will call.

I live near a Cabelas, so I buy most of my ammo there. I also watch for sales at Dick's. For range ammo I shoot mostly reloads but do occasionally hit Walmart for ball ammo.

Have not bought any since Oct 2016.
I think I'm pretty well stocked up for the next 5 years.
But Freedom Munitions was my go to seller.

Thanks for this information....did not even know they were there...sadly a check of their offering does not show Federal HST 230gr for 45. Only show hydra-shock in +p. But I will keep checking....thanks again

Last ammo I bought was at the Tyler, TX gunshow.
It was 30-06 ammo to go along with the M-1 Garand that I got in a trade.
Now I can go shoot it, and bring back memories from the 1950's.

I buy my ammo from Lucky Gunner and MidwayUSA when it is on sale.

Online, usually from SGAmmo. On rare occasion I'll pick up some ammo at a local LGS/range, but that's usually just FMJ practice ammo.

Gander Mountain? Really? The one here charged 3x the amount.
I buy either SGammo or Target Sports USA. Both are within a few dollars of each other. The only reason I do both is because of what's available. Certain calibers have more options or availability in one vs the other. For 9/40/45 it's basically the same.
Or I'll buy local but usually online

For the last year I have been buying from my LGS. They actually have made sure they keep what I want on the shelf, and give me a reasonable discount on 5 boxes or more.
With comments about the quality of the big box store's ammo, I feel better paying a little more for this.

Have you tried using ammoseek.com to find someone who has it?
Otherwise, I like TargetSports USA and Academy

The only ammo I buy us 22 rim fire and Midway has lots of sales. I love their Norma TAC22, very consistent.

My husband and I use 147gr Federal HST in all our 9mm's, so we split a case of it from SGAmmo. We also get case lots of our 124gr Speer Lawman ammo from them also.
If you don't shoot enough to justify mail order, Cabela's will order those little boxes of HST for you, with free in-store pickup.

Another vote for SG Ammo. Fast shipping,good prices and usually have what I'm looking for in stock.

If it's not from my LGS, I buy from SGAmmo or Outdoor Limited. Outdoor Limited would probably have the best shipping cost for your location.

I always use AmmoSeek to find the best prices. I buy ammo from Target Sports, Outdoor Limited, SGAmmo, Alamo Ammo, AmmoMen, and Surplus Ammo. Haven't had any issues with any of them. I've also purchased from Bud's Gun Shop, but they tend to be a little careless with the way they pack it.
SGAMMO. I'm on their mailing list and they are usually better than anyone else.
Once in a while Natchez Shooters Supply will beat them but not often.

SGAmmo.
Reliable packing, prompt delivery.
They repack in a plain box, that if left at your door does not scream "AMMO" at your neighbors. I live in an apartment, so that is critical to me.
They do an email with latest deals / arrivals. If they don't have it in stock, keep checking back. Things change daily.

Glad to help a neighbor out. I promise you'll love doing business there.
If you go back to their site and this time click over on the upper right to include out of stock items, you'll see they're usually available at $25/box. If you click on the item, you can have them email you when they're back in stock. You can also give them a call to check when they expect the next shipment.

If all prices are equal, I think SGAmmo is my first option. Targetsportsusa is probably next... they have free shipping on cases. Maybe not quite the selection of SGAmmo, and shipping is higher otherwise.
Others I have bought from, depending on best price available:
Bud's- shipping isn't bad, and sometimes they have the price that beats everyone else. I WILL point out, when I bought a couple of cases of Yavex 9mm on clearance (under 18 cents a rd when other ammo was higher), all they did was slap a shipping label on the Yavex box. They did put the Fiocchi .32 acp into another box.
Selway- they also have had good prices, and sometimes offer free shipping over $200. One of my boxes came beat to heck and back, but that's on Fedex or UPS, I guess.
Aim Surplus- recently they had PPU on deep discount, which made their shipping worthwhile.
Sportsmen's Outdoor Unlimited (or something like that)- I bought some ammo from them at a good price once. I went back later to look for some more, and they didn't list ammo and their shipping had changed.
Sportsmen's Guide- they used to be very competitive in prices for ammo, and if you also got a deal on some of the other stuff (boots, "surplus" unused socks and shirts, etc), it was definitely worthwhile. They seem to have gone up in price considerably now.

Call them, ask for David and tell him one of his good HP customers (Jeff) was beating the bushes to help his business. I tell everyone to buy there because I want to see him do well and continue being such a great supplier. Ask him when he'll be back in stock.
By the way, I'm just down at the other end of 66 from you. Where do you shoot?
