Center fire, found metal detecting near an old WW2 munitions depot weird looking please help me identify it thank you
Has anyone ever ordered on this site before, prices seem a little too good to be true.
I have came across a decent deal on Winchester white box, what is everyone's opinion on them for range use ? Need to get into stockpiling a bit more ammo nowadays. Previously I've been buying the regular 50 round boxes of Fiocchi, Magtech and S&B boxes for range use, mainly two or three boxes at a time.
Got a new Glock 48 and I wanna go practice as often as I can and I wanna get a ton of ammo
I’m new to guns and I always hear people tell me to use quality ammo that’s clean and will treat your gun good. What’s a good cheap ammo that I can go train with?
If anyone feels like dropping some thoughts... through a weird chain of events, I can get a good price on some 5.56 of two types:
According to the Hornady ballistic calculator, the 75gr BTHP actually seems to perform better. This is my first move away from 55gr (aside from the occasional mag of green tip) as I start to stretch out my shooting distances.
For reference, I’m running a 16" 1:8 twist barrel, if that matters.
I know AAC has a mixed, somewhat odd reputation in some circles, but personally, it has run really well for me. So, I don’t mind the brand if the deal is right.
Ordered a smattering of 100 rounds of 12ga ammo from topgunammodotcom. Order shipped and arrived quickly, pricing was fair. The FedEx shipping box was absolutely fine inside and out, but when I dumped it out, the ammo sent looked to be damaged by moisture of some kind, the boxes were disintegrating and still moist to the touch, and the brass on at least 50% of the rounds is tarnished and discolored. I’m rather concerned as to whether or not some/any of these will have failures to fire. I’ve sent an email with this and additional photos - I will report back if/when I get a response and what the resolution is (if any).
Could I have some brands that are good to buy, and some to avoid.
So far I know
Good: Winchester, Federal, Ammo Inc
Bad: BPS, Igman
I shoot 9mm. Also picked up a mossberg and would love some recommendations there
Also, where do I go for cheap ammo? I've been going to bass pro and sportsman. Getting around 0.26/rnd
I’m a new gun owner and ordered some ammo from Ammunition Depot and I just wanted to give a heads up that my first order was messed up.
I ordered 12 gauge 00 buckshot and they sent me “shorty shot” slugs that are about half the price and half the size.
Their support guy was friendly and did what he could but it wasn’t enough to keep me as a customer. I think the problem was because the SKUs on their website were mixed up.
They want me to ship the incorrect ones back before they’ll send the correct ones and I don’t think it’s worth it to me for two boxes.
They wouldn’t ship the correct ones without the return because the ammo I purchased was being drop-shipped by a third-party warehouse.
Just wanted to warn any other noobs out there.
Any good ammo supplier recommendations?
These two seem to be the top performing rounds as of 2024. Underwood at 21in of penitration and hornady at 13.5in. Realistically witch ammo would you rather carry as your edc having to use one in a possible pedestrian behind the target situation and do you guys think the Underwood could potentially go thru your target into something else.
Ive use hornady for years but the fluid displacement of Underwood has me curious.
I heard Luger P08 needs hot 9mm's to cycle. Did they used smg loads in pistols?
Brand is american ammunition
AAC Sabre “black tip” 308win 150gr
What’s people’s experience been with this?
How does it fair for accuracy?
How does it suppressed?
How does it handle whitetail?
Just picked me up a steyr m95 and am having a really hard time finding any 8x56mmR, anyone know a reliable supplier for it? SGAmmo claims to have a ton but I’ve never heard of the company just wanted to be sure it wasn’t a scam. TIA
So my cabelas sells ammo for 15 for 20 (5.56 rounds) so about $0.75 per round of one brand however my local pawn shop sells ammo for $0.60 per round so $12 a box I’ve never had an issue with their ammo at least for handguns (I’m waiting for my AR to be delivered) I bought an extra mag and 60 rounds. Anyway my cabelas also sell 1000 rounds for the exact same price as I would get from my pawn shop minus $0.01. So my question is should I keep buying from them? It certainly seems like an extraordinary deal. At least compared to big name stores. All feedback is appreciated thanks.🙂
Found in my grandpas gun closet Never shot steel case ammo. Is it good? Or like dirty ammo or something
Did any one buy 577-450 Martini-Henry from old south ammo if so how did it go
Purchased 500 rounds of 9mm online and they arrived yesterday. Then, earlier today I get another box from bass pro and there it was. I checked my credit card and I was only charged for the one box.
