Default Bulk Ammo

I've been tinkering on some loads for my Triumph, been shooting SW's, SST'S, and XTP's with the supplied sabots. For you guys that do alot of shooting, where is the best/cheapest place to buy in bulk? Any good places online, etc..I know it's cheaper to buy the rounds and sabots in bulk, just purchased some Harvestor sabots to try.

I'm especially interested in the SpeerGold Dot and Hornady XTP's, also what has worked well for y'all?

if you are lucky and have a gun shop that carries reloading supplies or a cabela's close to where you live I would check the first.

other than that I think midsouth have the best prices over all. and only have an $20 min. order which is easy to meet.

Here's a site that seems good

I usually order their Shockwaves on page 4 which seem reasonable

These are all in my "Wish List". When I order, I just go to my wish list, click on the item and order for the item into the shopping card, not from the Wish list, in that way my things are always online.

I looked around at Gold Dots and XTP's, and of everywhere I looked Wal Mart was the cheapest for both. Their selection is a little more limited, but if they have what you need, then it's great.

Agreed, but usually they don't sell bulk bullets and sabot separate, at least here in Va (Front Royal and Leesburg Wallyworld). A lot of powerbelts and packaged bullets of sabots and bullets. Usually they are double the price of sabot and bullets in bulk. If you stay below 250g the bullets in bulk are sold in boxes of100, if you buy 300g, theyare sold in boxes of 50. Most guys like the 250 for deer, but I find that those that expand well at 250g don't shoot thru (Knight all lead 240g bullet and sabot and 250g XTP), now I shoot 300g and get shoot thru, the extra 50g gives it the extra punch on energy and you don't loose that much on trajectory. So when you do your bulkbuying think about what you wannna do with them, plink or hunt, if hunt they Irecommend the 300g. If plinking/shooting stay with the 250g. Chap
