Anyone know of any good buys right now on 45 acp?

[El Jefe]

I need to start stockpiling 45acp as I only have 250 rounds.

Where you guys buying yours?

TIA:)

Wal-mart had WWB 100 round packs for $32.

Besides that rare find, the lowest I've seen is $20 for 50 target rounds.

Also, AIM has 185gr semi-jacket hollow-point for $23 for 50. A good deal if you like lightweight defense rounds.

Yeah, I was definitely going to check our local Wally's and see what the white box stuff was selling for. Here soon I'd like to buy a 1000 round case and stash them, you know, just in case.

Try Natchez Shooter's Supply. They usually have pretty good deals.

Not to hijack the thread. But another good reason to reload.

J&G’s has it for $360 if you buy a 1000 rounds

The local wallyworld has Federal for 15.99 per 50.

Ditto on checking local wal-mart first, they were one of the few that didn't jack up their ammo prices. Second I'd check Farm & Fleet if they're in your neck of the woods. Other than that I go online. Are you after brass cased, steel cased, or either/or? Again dittos on J&G Sales, they have S&B on sale. My top two places to check are AIM and ammunitiontogo.com. Oh ya, don't forget to check out CDNN's sale flier on their website, they have decent ammo deals every so often. Widener's is another good place to check.

I buy Federal FMJ at Wal Mart for about $16/box whenever it's available. It's one of those calibers that just flies off the shelves, though.

[TakeFive]

I just got some Fiocchi 200 gr JHP at ammunitiontogo $21.95 for 50 and $214.95 for 500. Seems like they have good prices on various FMJ also.

A friend sent me this from slickdeals:

.45 ACP UMC (Reloadable) ammo 250 rounds for $82 shipped ($0.33/round) + tax
Gander Mountain (online only) has Remington UMC .45 ACP in a 250 round Mega Pack for $99.99 (Item #412733)

Link: http://www.gandermountain.com/modperl/product/details.cgi?pdesc=Remington_UMC_9MM_Handgun_Ammuni tion_250_Round_Mega_Pack&i=412731&merchID=4008&r=v iew [gandermountain.com]

Shipping is free on orders over $100, so add Box Call Chalk (Item # 420479) for $1.49 to get over $100:

Use code WELCOME20 to take $20 off your order (over $100 only).

Final price before tax $81.48, or $0.33/round

This same deal can be used for .40 S&W ammo (same price as the .45 ACP) or for 500 rounds of 9mm (add 2 mega packs of 9mm at $60/pack and skip the chalk, total price shipped is $100 before tax for the 500 rounds of 9mm)

UMC ammo is brass cased, metal coated and reloadable, which is what makes this a better deal than steel cased ammo at similar prices.

Thanks fellas, I appreciate the help.

Whatever I end up buying will be brass, as I intend to reload in the future.

Thanks again. :)

I know it's not brass, but this is best I've seen Blazer .45acp go for lately:

Good plinking ammo, cleaner/better than wolf IMO, and I've used it in my club's 3-gun competition without issues using my g21sf or taurus 1911.
