    I reload all my target ammo but purchase my SD ammo. Each time I go to the range I shoot target ammo but finish up with SD ammo.

    Is it just me or does SD ammo seem more expensive than ever? Even basic JHP ammo (like Winchester) is about $0.50 per round for 9mm and $0.75 per round for 45acp. I think reloading has spoiled me on the cost of ammo.

    Higher tier SD ammo ammo has been pretty expensive for some time now. Those 20 and 25 round boxes of the premium performance stuff are not cheap. But basic FMJ and HP commercial 9mm ammo can be found for well under $20 per box. I don't buy a lot of .45ACP, but my recollection is about $25 a box for plain jane ammo. The sky's the limit for the fancy stuff.

    Look online for vendors that sell ad ammo packed for LEO in 50 round boxes. TDS in NH as I recall used to have 50 round boxes of jHP for under $35.

    This.

    The overpriced local small-box SD ammo is literally the same as going to a convenience store and overpaying for some food item you need late at night.

    Buy online, from someone like SGAmmo (assuming they ship to MD). There are lots of online vendors selling LEO overstock, as mentioned by BIFF_N.

    My SD for both 9mm and .380 is close to a buck a round. Someone on these forums suggested buying a box a month (of 20) to shoot and rotating the ammo. Shoot how you train, train for how you shoot.

    Thanks for the recommendations. Yesterday I purchase some 50 round boxes of 9mm and 45acp jhp at Sportman's Guide at an ok price. Next time I'll check out SGAmmo - their prices look good.

    I buy online with HD ammo, usually in bulk. Love getting govt overuns for half the price of commercial.
