Who not to buy ammo from

[ok-22shooter]

There have been times in the not too distant past that some online ammo stores where asking exorbitant prices for the ammo they had. That is their choice. My choice is that I would prefer to not buy from them. I try to vote with my money a bit. Unfortunately, my memory is not what it use to be. Wondering if others have any recollection of some of the companies we might tend to stay away from now that ammo is a bit more available and some of the prices are coming down. What started this tough process is a friend sent a link to a CTD article. It seems they asking huge prices.

Cheaper Than Dirt is #1 on my list of not to buy from. Not unless its something I need and they are the only ones that have it.

Buds is #2.

Both of these companies cancelled orders saying they were out of stock and turned around and relisted them at a crazy mark up

I use SGAmmo for factory loaded anmmunition. For reloading I use shootingbot.com to track down powder and primers components.

I might live under a rock but I don’t order from anyone else online. I just like that sgammo is Oklahoma based and I usually have my order within 1-2 days.

I’ve bought a ton from SG and Target Sports USA, and when I need to replenish, that’s more than likely who I’ll buy from again.

I found almost everything local and didn't need to order much. Most those places now charge shipping and tax so it's basically a wash.

I just bought some from Buds and everything turned out right. They had some Federal 45ACP 210gr that my guns are rather fond of at a great price.
I did buy some 22 LR from them a few years ago and the ammo was loose in the box. Sent it back and they sent me some fresh stuff.
I have bought from SGA, Midway, Freedom, Ammo Depot and other than that one time at Buds, no issues.

For specialty stuff I like Buffalo Bore. They’re not cheap but they’ve got ammo that you can’t find anywhere else.

Academy pulls stupid stunts like denying sales to people because of their address, with a nics proceed for the person trying to buy. Even when said customer has never been denied and typical nics takes.less than 10 minutes.
I know, I was the buyer and their beef was with a former renter at my address a full 8 months before the day they denied me. Even though, that former resident person was allowed to leave the store with nics proceed and their firearm. They didnt like his attitude and commenting to store mgmt about poor customer service and lack of knowledge to the point of unsafe gun handling by employees at the gun counter.

I try to buy from my LGS. I could probably find it a little bit cheaper online somewhere, but I believe in buying local and keeping my money here when possible.

Besides, after I pay shipping and tax online, it comes out about the same from my local guy just trying to make a living. Plus, he usually cuts me a break, usually about 10%, which covers the tax.
