Question Best Sites to Buy Ammo Online

Every FFL gun store I have dealt with in the Bay Area charges 100.00 per thousand rounds and one has to wait two months to get it all.
Find a deal for 200 rounds it still will cost 100.00 for the transfer fee along with tax & and the State transfer fee.
$100+ per 1,000 rounds?! That's a ripoff bro.
There's got to be a cheaper FFL for receiving ammo in your area

I pay $10 per 1,000 rounds @ my FFL

Good luck
 
It used to buy a couple of cases of shotshells from Roger’s Sporting Goods.

The good old days of ordering it and having the nosy UPS driver ask why I had so much ammo being delivered. He probably hated 2014.

 
I've never had issues with Palmetto when I could order on line, but since that's a no-no for me I just patronize the local firearm businesses. I shoot common calibers and seldom buy in bulk anymore. (raised foundation, must take care about tonnage):)

See what you can work out locally. A far as "online" purchases, I've used most of shippers over the years I shopped "best price" and availability. I cannot ever remember any bad "ammo" or delivery's. There used to be a Ammo Data Base, but the last I checked it was down. Maybe someone here knows of a viable one.

Used to use SGAmmo, but not sure they ship to CA any longer. Not much help, sorry.

Good luck...

ETA: https://ammoseek.com/rifle-ammo

The above link I've used in the past, but not since the CA garbage so I cannot vouch for some of the vendors. I usually searched for rifle ammo, hence the "rifle-ammo" in the link, but you can search the ammo of your choice.
yep ammoseek will lead you to the cheapest

I just order whatever I need and have it shipped to my friend in Reno, I dont deal with the stores here.
 
I also use targetsports. For target ammo: https://2awarehouse.com/

I do stay away from the Capital label they sell though. I’ve had enough rounds not fire after primer strikes from a few different guns to not want to purchase anymore.
 
I also use Target Sports USA, I went ahead and bought their ammo+ membership, get an 8% discount and free shipping.
Their black Friday and cyber Monday sales included an addition 6% off, for a total of 14%.
Should be receiving my order in a couple days.
 
Pretty sure that isnt possible in CA.
100% possible, but the ammo needs to be shipped to your FFL in order to do paperwork and an ammo background check. Process taste just a few minutes and there's no waiting. To take your ammo home with you
 
Its been 6 months since I've bought ammo, but I had several orders with https://trueshotammo.com/
Just south of Phoenix, stuff arrives in a day or two- usually Fedex. Fedex couldn't find the FFL delivery address for a week- I called TrueShot and they reshipped (to the same FFL) and pulled back the prior order. It worked- ammo arrived next day and I got 100% credit on the one doing laps around the county I guess.
 
I've ordered from preppergunshop.com a dozen times or so. Zero issues.
They charge tax and sometimes shipping though if you don’t meet a certain total which is why I haven’t bought from them. They have a great selection nonetheless
 
Welp, Trueshot is out of the running for me now. After many years of problem-free ordres, they no longer ship to addresses in SF. Bummer, because otherwise their prices are good and they're quite speedy. It's back to Targetsports for me I guess
 
I like my little shack in NV that's my out.
