I just bought my first rifle today
Smith&Wesson M&P15. Picked up a couple Pre-Ban 30 round mags as well.

Im new to firearms so these may be dumb questions.

I need to buy Ammo basically. I'm assuming .223 is cheaper and easier to find

I figured buying online in bulk was the way to go as would be cheaper. Like 1,000 round case as I its new to me and will want to shoot it alot.

First off what sites would you guys recommend? I was looking at ammotogo.com which I heard about
They seemed higher in price than other sites, but other sites could be less reputable.

Any Brands to look for or stay away from? Want something fine for the range for now.

I have seen different types like light-armor piercing, anyone know if any certain types are illegal in NY state?


Any help would be appreciated.

Light armor piercing is not illegal but most ranges will not allow it. Read some reviews online if people have problems with steel cased ammo in it. Most AR types seem to have no problem running it but a few do.

I did some searching around. Going to order from SGammo

Think Im going to order Either
1000 rounds of prvi partizan 5.56mm M855 62 grain or 1000 of PMC 223 PMC 55 grain FMJ ammo



Seems alot of sites are sold out of .223 and 5.56 ammo

If you can get to Schenectady Bob of Firefly Firearms has a few cases of 223 at a good price.

SG has good prices and reasonable shipping. Their stock moves quickly though, so check every day if they are out of something.

ammoman.com is a good alternative to SGammo also ammunitiontogo.com, ammoman has free shipping. My AR wont cycle Wolf so personally I would stay away from that.

 

[bobbyd3]

I just placed an order with SGammo, went with the PMC .223

Figured Ill burn through it quick as Its new to me, then try another brand/type find what I like.

Try this link 1000 round case - 223 PMC 55 grain FMJ ammo | SGAmmo.com $299.95 + shipping around $16.00

 

[bobbyd3]

That link is actually what I bought.

Good thing I put the order in this morning as now its listed as out of stock

CHEAPERTHANDIRT.COM only way to go alwase has .223/5.56 on stock and great prices on bulk ammo and everything else u want for the AR platform ive used them for years best place to go handsdown

CTD blows. they will not ship a hogue grip for an AR to NY. They black list the whole state for 98% of its products because of NYC.

Palmettostatearmory has great deals on .223.

 

[collector48]

CTD shipping is what keeps me from buying from them........search around and you will find a lot better prices and much lower shipping costs....

Ammunition, Magazines, Rifle Parts, Bulk Ammo and Rifle Accessories - Palmetto State Armory

a little slow on getting the stuff shipped but good prices and low shipping costs....

That M&P should shoot anything you throw at it.....If not,throw it in the river,ain't worth having if it doesn't go bang....

CHEAPERTHANDIRT.COM only way to go alwase has .223/5.56 on stock and great prices on bulk ammo and everything else u want for the AR platform ive used them for years best place to go handsdown

Then you obviously have no clue about what your paying. CTD has the highest prices I have ever seen (including shipping) and they usually sell garbage. Have fun with CT!

 

[Dieter122]

+1 to cooden

I like AIM, Century Arms and PSA for ammo...

 

[Tifosi]

Target sports USA ain't so bad either and usually offer free shipping on cases.
There's others yet of course, but suffice to say there is a great honkin' pile of places that utterly crush CTD in general, especially when s&h is thrown into the equasion, but CTD advertises on a comparatively big scale so people take the easiest way out by simply going where the ads say they should go ('I saw this ad' syndrome) instead of taking the seed of an idea and actually putting a little effort into shopping around.

I had a great experience buying 1000 rounds from SGAmmo. PMC bronze is a great range ammo, I can usually pull off 1-1.5 MOA with it. You can have SG send you an email as soon as they get what you want in stock, which is a nice feature with how fast they sell out.

 

[Tifosi]

Just went for a quick spook purely for amusement

Item sought was Lake City 62gr, penetrator, fmj, reloadable, NATO headstamped, green tip M855, 1000rd loose bulk pack

CTD: $499 + $30 s&h
Target Sports USA $434 to your door
(TSU says 'sale price', but that price has been going on for several months, not a week or single month)

 

[Transporter7220]

$400 is ridiculous for 1000 .223 target rounds.
