Ammo Subscriptions?

rifleman0311 · June 2, 2019, 06:21 AM

Has anyone used any ammo subscription companies and who would you recommend? or where do you recommend shopping online? Specifically for 9mm and 5.56.

No idea what you are talking about. Ammo subscription?

Ammo subscriptions puzzle me too but hey, lots of things do. Still an explanation for us would be a good thing.

I'm guessing that the OP means a membership, like the one offered by Target Sports USA?

My SWAG (scientific wild arse guess) is that an ammo subscription sends you xxx amount of ammo to your door each month and in turn they draft xxx dollars from your bank account a month. To keep automatically adding to the stockpile I guess.

But I could be wrong.

Whats the break even point -- membership fee vs. the ammo usage point --

Shoot a lot -- then yea --

Then whats the membership fee's vs. learning to reload ?

Target Sports USA has great prices with shipping included when you buy by the case.

I decided to give it a try....so far my opinion is "ehh". It's working out for me right now as I'm trying to build up some smaller numbers of rounds which I really don't plan to shoot too often (HP .223 and 9mm as well as some "defensive" shotgun loads). For that it's nice, I can get a few boxes here and there at a slightly lower price and free shipping. But if all you are going to buy is .223 and 9mm for the range you are probably better off just waiting for their sales and get the free shipping on the case.

Will I make my membership fee back? I'm not so sure I will....it will be close. I doubt I'm going to let it renew at the one year mark.

ETA: I am referring to my Target Sports USA Prime membership.

I don't know anything about an ammo subscription but have found SG Ammo to consistently have good prices.
