Re: USA Ammo users?
I live in TN. As an example, if I wanted to order 1000 rounds of .223 55gr FMJ from USA ammo for plinking, the base cost is $299, which comes out to 29.9 cents a round, not bad. However, it cost's 33.81 to ship that to my home in TN, which brings the total cost to $332.81, which is 33 cents a round for once fired ammo. Now if I look at Widener's, they offer 1000 rounds of PPM193 5.56 55 gr FMJBT, a comparable plinking ammo, for $309. Now this is for brand new never fired ammo which would theoretically give me more reloads, but it is 30.9 cents a round, a little more than USA ammo. However, they only charge $17.73 to ship it, bringing the total to $326.73, or 32.6 cents a round, which comes to $6.08 in savings. Now that doesn't seem like much but it adds up over time, plus I am getting brand new cases that will theoretically last longer when I reload. That is only one example I could come up with real quick, but I have found numerous times, that, while great ammo, once shipping is figured in, it often costs me more per round to purchase once fired USA ammo.
