Frequently Asked Questions

Which ammunition calibers are currently the cheapest?

As of 2025, 9mm Luger FMJ is around $0.20-$0.23/round, 223/5.56 NATO is $0.32-$0.38/round, and 22 LR bulk packs are $0.06-$0.08/round. Other affordable options include 40 S&W, 7.62x39mm, 308 Winchester, 12 gauge target loads, and 5.45x39mm.

Why have ammunition prices dropped significantly?

Ammunition prices have dropped due to stabilized supply chains, manufacturers catching up to demand, and in some cases, reduced demand for certain calibers. This has led to consistent stock and competitive pricing across many popular rounds.

What are the benefits of stocking up on ammunition now?

Stocking up now allows you to take advantage of historically low prices, ensuring you have ample ammunition for training, practice, or self-defense without overpaying. Prices may increase due to tariffs, election cycles, or other market factors.

Where can I find affordable ammunition?

Retailers like Ammo Seek, Target Sports USA, Palmetto State Armory, and SG Ammo are recommended for finding competitive prices. Buying in bulk, such as 1,000-round cases or larger packs, often yields the best per-round cost.

Is steel-cased or brass-cased ammunition better for training?

While steel-cased ammunition is often cheaper, brass-cased, boxer-primed ammunition is generally preferred for training. It is typically cleaner, more reliable, and the casings can be reloaded, offering better long-term value despite a slightly higher initial cost.
