Best place for cheap 12 ga. ammo?
« on: January 01, 2013, 01:06:56 PM »
Aloha,
I'm just getting into shotguns (bought a beautiful 12 ga Mossberg 590A1 20"  :geekdanc: ) and am looking for advice on the best place for inexpensive ammo.

I'm only going to be blasting holes in paper to start with. (my 9mm M1911 w/Speer Gold Dot HPs is my HD gun).

So I'm looking for 12 Gauge; #7, #7 1/2 or #8 shot; in 2 3/4.

Any advice is appreciated, including guidance on what folks think the average "cost per round" should be as a rule of thumb.

Hau'oli Makahiki Hou!  :shaka:

You beat me to it. Yes, SA is pretty reasonable. They have decent selection of gun safes, too.

Yuuuuuupppp!!!

SA for the win...

You can get a case of 7 or 7-1/2 for about $60 buck on sale.

Slugs and buck shot be about $6 bucks per 5 rounds... Cheaper on sale or the buy one get the other half off deals...

This is for the Winchester Rounds.... Expect to pay more for the higher end stuff....

Stock up on the cheap stuff for targets.

Look into/buy others for HD and other hunting... Good luck! =)
