Ammo prices?

Billy Bones · Dec 31, 2013

Being fairly new to handguns, what do you consider the 'going' price for 9mm and .40S&W ammo?

I know (in general) lowest is always better, but is $.30 a round considered the going rate for 9mm? And $.40 for .40S&W?

Thanks.

That sounds about right to me

well where do you plan on buying your ammo? locally,via internet? I have a few websites I can link you

If you monitor GunBot you can often see brass case FMJ 9mm a bit cheaper. Freedom Munitions has 9mm reloads for $.24 and new for $.28-$.29 per round. I've never had an issue with it and shoot it out of my 9mm AR. It goes bang - not really looking for great accuracy at that price.

Going bang is fine but I prefer to be accurate when I shoot.

Mostly online. Local brick and mortar stores are too expensive.

Check out ammoseek.com and gunbot.net. You'll get a good idea of what different types of ammo are going for. You just have to make sure you're comparing apples to apples I.e. Steel cased, reloads or remanufactured, aluminum cased, brass cased. You also have to add shipping.

Ammotogo can be beaten by other retailers commonly, though they do seem to get some of the harder to find stuff more often. Just not at the best price.

Cabellas runs sales on various calibers often, sometimes with free shipping. Sportsman's Guide is very competitive as well.

For range ammo I like to order from Lax Ammo I have found their prices to be the best consistently. Occasionally a sale some place might beat them by a couple of bucks, usually it is not much though.

Yep. When I started shooting...2007? 9mm was 14c/rnd Before the last debacle, 9mm was 20-23c/rnd and .40S&W was 30c.

If you buy in bulk and keep an eye on the internets, you can find 23c and 35c respectively.
