I hooked up with some guys that buy bulk, you really get a big break on price when you buy it by the pallet. Saves on shipping and the middle man. I don't think people are aware of the mark up, at least I was not. If you can buy it by the pallet there is a 50% price drop. We just bought a pallet and it was 98.00 per thousand for 223. In a couple of months we will be buying 308, right now with prices inflated the price per 1000 is around 200.00. I think everyone needs to buy in bulk , form a local group and buy it in pallet size orders. You need someone with a business that can take deliveries and a fork lift. Get about 20 friends together or your club and if everyone buys 5 cases your good to go. Then you can help out your other friends with bargain ammo.

I've heard of people doing this. All I need is 9mm, unless I give in and buy a new handgun.

If people wanted to get together and buy 9mm, I'm in.

I'm in for some 9mm. I'd bet Rob Harris is too.

Sounds like a good idea but I am skeptical of your stated prices. Under $100 for 1,000 rds. of .223?

Mando21 · « **Reply #4 on:** March 10, 2013, 08:11:12 PM »

I need 9mm and 7.62x39.

METL · « **Reply #5 on:** March 11, 2013, 11:56:05 AM »

Are we talking ammunition cartridges or bullets for reloading?

If you're talking about fireable ammo then I"m in for 2k .223 at least for those prices.

libertarian623 · « **Reply #6 on:** March 11, 2013, 01:18:24 PM »

Yes this is real ammo. I will post when I find out what we are ordering next. There will be probably a 2wk window, to participate. It will not be for a while.

beldend · « **Reply #7 on:** March 14, 2013, 09:28:56 PM »

I would take some 9mm and 40 S&W......let me know if and when..

How many cases on a pallet?

DetroitBiker · « **Reply #9 on:** March 16, 2013, 09:39:49 AM »

usually .223 comes 100 cases to a pallet
100k rounds, and I do not believe it's only $98.00 or even $200.00 per case

Not really interested in .223REM. Mine eat M855, due to twist rate.

How much for case lots of M855?

Is that on stripper clips and in bandoliers?

It's not that XM855 reject stuff that Federal is selling is it?

I don't want any of that XM855 seconds.

Lots of interest, no one finding a supplier

scot623 · « **Reply #19 on:** April 09, 2013, 04:03:02 PM »

I'd be in for .223 and 9mm, maybe .45

gryphon · « **Reply #20 on:** April 18, 2013, 02:40:16 AM »

Put me in for 10,000 rds. of 5.7x28, and 2,000 rds. each of 5.56 NATO, 7.62 NATO, .40S&W and .45ACP. If it's good I'll order more.

Where and when can I pick this up?

METL · « **Reply #21 on:** April 23, 2013, 10:46:50 AM »

Being that the guy hasn't been back or posted since, I'm guessing never.

CV67PAT · « **Reply #22 on:** April 23, 2013, 10:18:20 PM »

I'm in for 50,000 rounds of M855. That might increase if my friends want some too.

If we did find a supplier, how would we "sell" the pallet?

Libertarian623 already has the supplier lined up.

We won't have to sell the pallet. It can be used for firewood. There is usually not any deposits required for pallets.

cadman · « **Reply #25 on:** April 29, 2013, 10:35:39 AM »

If it is still $98.00 per thousand for .223, I am in for 100K rounds.
