s/o Guns (Ammo)

[dixeedeluxe]

Has anyone ever bought ammo on the internet?  Is that sketchy?  DH's birthday is tomorrow and he recently bought a new pistol off of my sisters FIL and he doesn't have any ammo.  He said it's expensive.  So I think he'd actually like that as a gift!  But, you can't buy ammo at Target and that's the only place I go!  So Googled and found that you CAN buy it on the internet.  I was just wondering if anyone I "know" had. 

Feel free to ask spouses!

Awesome! I'll check it out!

DH always buys ammo online.

[dixeedeluxe]

Uh, I have no idea what I'm looking at. If I figure out what kind of ammo this takes, is anyone willing to ask their H's (or if you know) what I should be buying?

Its perfectly legal and legit.

[dixeedeluxe]

awesome! as soon as i confirm what i need, i'll post again!

I just asked DH and this is his reply:

Inventory fluctuates so much that a lot of places aren't even messing with online sales at this time. I've found some at Bass Pro, and Cabela's inventory is catching up as well. Even Wal-mart is starting to get caught up. Send her to ammunitiondepot.com is shopping online is the only option.

Thanks Emmie!

I can go to WalMart (in store). But I'm weirded out buying it! I want to spend like $100-$150. Do they just have it on shelves? Or do I have to ask them to get it for me? H usually only buys one box at a time and that's less weird.

[EmmieB1025]

I think it depends on what type of ammo it is. Some is on a shelf and other types are locked behind the sporting goods counter in our Walmart. You can call ahead to find out if they have it in stock and maybe hold it for you. Also, I think I remember our store limiting ammo purchases to three boxes per person per day.

[dixeedeluxe]

ohhh, good to know about the limit!

[dixeedeluxe]

also, i do realize this is probably easily googleable. but googling probably isn't the best idea at work!

[dixeedeluxe]

OK, the gun is a .357

[dixeedeluxe]

nothing online at walmart, bass pro, or cabela's.

still looking.

i will prob have to GO to a store, dang it!

[EmmieB1025]

Once DH is back at his office, I'll ask him.

[EmmieB1025]

I just looked on Ammunition Depot and they seem to have some.  There are Magnum and Sig though...do you know which you need?

[dixeedeluxe]

cool, i'll look!

[EmmieB1025]

DH said Bass Pro does have them, and is offering free shipping on orders over $75. (Unless he looked up the wrong thing.)

[dixeedeluxe]

I didn't see them on the mobile website. Let me look and compare when I get home.

a friend also recommended a specific kind on midwayusa.

[EmmieB1025]

You've got a PM.

Dixee, another suggestion I have if you can't find online, and have to go to a store, I'd call my local Walmart (or sporting goods store you're going to), and ask them what day they get their shipments in. Ammunition is still in high demand right now and goes FAST. Sometimes, you can only get it if you know which days they usually get a shipment in.

I know my dad orders online too, I will ask him if he's got any tricks. He's got a .357 too, so I'll give it a shot and update. He's a Cabela's fan though, so I'm guessing he'll direct me there.

I ended up getting the max (5 boxes) from MidwayUSA. They were sold out of A LOT, but they had what I needed (as recommended by a buddy who collects guns).
