Johny Utah Posted June 9, 2020 Report Share Posted June 9, 2020 What’s a good place online to get manufacture ammo? not re sale ammo. Looking for Federal HST 9mm 147. And 357 magnum federal HST also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jerrodh Posted June 10, 2020 Report Share Posted June 10, 2020 Sportsmanguide has some good sales for sure, sometimes its worth becoming a "member" even just to cancel it shortly after. Also check out... They post gun/ammo/accessory deals from all kinds of websites. https://gun.deals/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spankis Posted June 10, 2020 Report Share Posted June 10, 2020 I've bought from: GrabaGun SportsmansGuide Academy SGammo They're all going to be low on stock or pricey right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johny Utah Posted June 10, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2020 How are some of these online places so much cheaper then stores? A box of 50 Federal online is almost as much as a box of 20 in the store. Something has to be different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spankis Posted June 10, 2020 Report Share Posted June 10, 2020 Shipping is a factor too. A few are free shipping (but higher prices often) and then some are offering flat rate shipping regardless of order size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gillbot Posted June 11, 2020 Report Share Posted June 11, 2020 https://www.freedommunitions.com I used to buy freedom often but they had a bunch of bad QC incidents so I’ve shied away from there for now. Anyone got the skinny on 458 socom/50 Beowulf in a reasonable quantity? I don’t want to drop a ton on cases but not get nickle and dimed on a box here and there either.

Mojoe Posted June 11, 2020 Report Share Posted June 11, 2020 I used to buy freedom often but they had a bunch of bad QC incidents so I’ve shied away from there for now. For 5-6 years now, I have used their 9mm and .223 almost exclusively for range and never had an issue. Also, their 6.5CM deals and ammo have been good.

gillbot Posted June 11, 2020 Report Share Posted June 11, 2020 I had a few squibs in 45, contacted their CS and was basically told to pound sand. I started asking around and there were many other reports of similar issues so I’ve opted to voice my concern with my $. Hopefully they work out well for you, they didn’t for me. Edit: to be fair I’ve never had an issue with any of my 9, haven’t touched any of the 40 yet but the 45 I won’t use anymore. I’ve also moved what I have left in all calibers from them to the back of the SHTF pile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mojoe Posted June 11, 2020 Report Share Posted June 11, 2020 Fair enough. They went bankrupt, but were bought immediately 3-4 years ago. The free shipping deals fell off then. That made buying from them a steal. Pricing seems to be up a little. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jelloman4571647545499 Posted June 11, 2020 Report Share Posted June 11, 2020 Yes, I want to use it for home defense. It's intended for that purpose, so it will work fine. All the JHP rounds are designed to expand but Federal seems to be doing the best at getting their rounds to not over-penetrate. I love 147's too and prefer them to 115, 124 and 165 (for people who have stamps). Shoot a good 147 and practice with it. Buy a few boxes to learn to shoot with HST 147 if you are used to shooting something like 115 ball ammo. There is a slight difference.
