Ammo Prices: 05/23/2014
Week nine!
I know looking at all this data is just too much work for some of you :), so this week’s new feature is a summary table of the best prices by lot sizes for caliber. The vendor’s name is linked to the ammo page. It looks like LAX Ammunition is leading the pack with the most ammo at the cheapest general prices. It also looks like it would be cheaper to buy ammo in (2) 500 round lots than (1) 1000 round lot for some of the calibers (unless you get hit with shipping for each box).
As always, if you have comment or witticisms, please leave them below. And if you find that some of the items are now out of stock or the prices have significantly changed, please let the other readers know. Also, if you know of any vendors that are not represented here and you have had a good experience with, comment below and we will see about adding them.
We have also included the raw data so you can run your own trends: Weekly Ammo – 20140523

Why isn't the caliber part of the table header? Makes it pretty much impossible to read.
Hit the LAX Memorial Day parking lot ammo sale this weekend . They had .308 winchester match 168 gr. and federal 180gr soft point (20 rounds) a box for 18$ I bought all I could carry . Got in my car turned on the radio and heard about Santa Barbara which made me decide to park again and go back to buy 556 , 9mm and .22.
Fasten your seat belts but I hope we're not In For another shortage cause some asshole was too afraid to spank his kid and the kid grew up to be a psycho.
