Where do you guys purchase your ammo? I will be looking for some ammo for my XD40. Any online sites/bulk sale sites would be greatly apprecaited. Thanks all

ammoman.com and Gunbroker.com sometimes has good deals.

I get my deals at work but I have found some better deals on gunbroker.

gulf coast ammo is a good source for your cheap ruskie ammo.

If you are buying in bulk, its time to start reloading. not only will you save money, but you can tailor the load to your gun. I load on Lee Pro 1000, they are the low end of presses, costing $120, but I have loaded about 40K thru one in a year and a half without any major issues and made up the cost of the press in about a month. Dillon makes a much better press, but cost 4X as much.

Yah nothing wrong with Lee Precision products esp if your just starting out.

I got the Lee Anniversary Pack for $31.00 (Includes Press And Book to teach you how to reload). You just need to get the die after that whch run about $13.00 depending on caliber.

Ended up also gettign the Hand Press Kit after that for $41.00 for a second shop just to make dummy rounds.

Very interesting! Thanks guys you been a great help so far! Im going to look into this. At my house we have about 40-50 guns most arent mine but we would be making rounds from a 9mm-40-45 and 500. Yes 500 mean pistol I might add :-D

Sorry to be such a newb! But say I reload alot of rounds for my xd40. I paid, 60$ for 250rounds. How cheap do you think I can load these rounds in comparison to my 60$/250 rounds. Roughly? Will I save alot? I shoot, every weekend damn near 1000 rounds a day if I have that many available lol.

Looks pretty simple?

the more you shoot...the more you save.

reloading saves about 1/2 to 3/4 the full price.

never buy reloaded ammo, off a stranger on the street.

Duc is on point.

I've already started in the last two months actively collecting my brass and any one elses brass who doesn't mind in .45 ACP and 9MM.
I don't reload just yet but will be pulling the trigger on that soon because honest to God the price of ammo right now is just stupid and it's only going to get more expensive.

On current average (last quarter) I shoot twice a week going through ~ 200 rds. of .45 ACP target ammo or ~100 rds. of .45 ACP and ~100 rds. of .22LR per shooting day.
