Sportsman's Guide has a sale on Wolf. .223 box of 20 $12.77. 50 rounds of 9 mm FMJ for $10.77. I know Wolf is not great but looking for extra as back up.

I know Ammo Man, Cheaper than Dirt. Any others?

Any suggestions?

Also any new rifles or pistols in .22 LR or mag worth looking at in case things fall apart. I know some new lower caliber, hi cap pistols and rifles are out. The ammo costs should be lower but these rounds still pretty lethal. Discuss. Thanks.

If cost is the supreme issue you gotta roll your own. There will be a significant cost of tooling up, but then...

For SHTF on a budget, (which is me) I have 2 strategies; 1 is reloaders, dies, primers and powders and some good brass (one should never expect to recover much of what you use, though) and 2 is cheap, corrosive milsurp from overseas.

If I could do better than that I would, but ammo is just part of a comprehensive package....

1997-1999 were the best years for ammo. I lost it all in the boating accident. Along with the rest of my gear.

But I did love the days of 7.62x39 1440 round cases for $89US+shipping.

I don’t know if you can still get them, but I like sealed battle packs of military ammo. Back around the presidential primaries began, I bought up a thousand rounds of sealed military 223. It was real cheap stuff. Came from greece maybe?

22mag is a waste of time. it costs as much as 9mm so you might as well buy 9mm instead.

But if you have your heart set on 22mag, keltec makes a new semi auto pistol chambered in 22mag that comes standard with 30round clips.

For a 9mm gun I like the CALICO(pronounced kalEEEko, i believe). high cap spiral magazine that doubles as a buttstock iirc. I’ve been meaning to get one for years now. They also make a 22lr version.

for shotguns, I like the saiga 12. been meaning to get me one of those for years also.

As for new .22 rifles ...

My buddy picked up a new S&W M&P15-22.

Put a red-dot scope on there and its really a fun gun to shoot. We put around 500 rounds through it a couple of weekends ago with very little trouble. (Any problems were due to the cheap .22 rounds and not the rifle).

Not tryin’ to be a smart a$$ here , BUT , I “ ammo’d up “ when Clinton was elected POTUS . Ammo was really Dirt Cheap . Also picked me up a Dillon 550 . Life is goooooood !!
With that said , Wal-Mart has specials on .22LR . Also , it’s worth the drive to THE NEXT , nearest Gun Show in your area. Cash & carry if you know what I mean.
Good Luck and keep yer chin up - things will get better soon , however the EVIL will never relent. Be the Boy Scout...........

Ammo Depot. But if you have not been stocking up you are way behind the program. Not saying there is still a shortage like there was a year ago. But prices are still higher and ammo like .380 is short supply.

I like Aim Surplus.

http://www.aimsurplus.com/

But I mainly buy 7.62 x 54R.

Sometimes they have good deals on 7.62 x 39 if ya got any hungry AKs or SKSs hangin’ round.

Just invested in a Hornady reloader kit and tumbler. The deal was sweeter with 500 bullets free (S&H) and for every new die purchased was an additional 100 bullets. Son shoots 270 Short Magnum and they are about $2.00 a shot for big game hunting.

We spend a lot of range time and pick up a lot of brass ppl just leave.

Try Ammo Engine

for good deals. One place they do not check that has good deals include
Ammoman. Note well that his price includes shipping and he will ship anything to anyplace where it is legal.

I would ask sincerely that you not do business with Sportsman's Guide or Cheaper Than Dirt as they do not support the RKBA and adamantly refuse to sell completely legal items to states like CA, MA, NY and the like just to prove a point or something. I am not talking confusing stuff but absolutely legal parts and stuff like that.

Sportsman’s Guide is probably as good as anyone else at this point. Their prices have steadily increased over the past two years along with everyone else, so you might as well get what you can lay your hands on now. Even if you go looking for ammo deals online, people will be selling the ammo they bought last year at today’s prices.

Get what you need, and what you can afford, while you can. Remember that ammo and arms are only 2 pieces of a complex multi-level survival plan that you need to put together and tailor for your individual needs. There are no “one size fits all” answers.

And don’t forget...snipers always use reloads to increase their accuracy. I don’t type well enough to explain. :{)
