Feeler: Shotgun ammo group buy?

[RecessedFilter 222]

So Dino and I were talking and realized since ammo prices are increasing (even shotgun ammo at some places), I thought it may be a good time to go in on a pallet. If I recall, a pallet is 30 cases. We did this on another forum and it worked out well, except it was pistol ammo and everyone was happy. Hopefully we could get a case price down to $45-50 since we would be buying so much but I'm not promising anything.

 

If I have enough interest, I will start researching what retailers could supply a pallets worth and then lead up to a group buy depending on price and availability.

 

For now, who would be interested in this? I think a 2 case minimum order per person would be fair. I'd probably buy 4 or 5 myself. Order must be paid for ahead of time. It would be 12ga, either #7.5 or #8.

 

I entertain questions or comments.

Not to jack the thread but any interest in doing this with rifle or pistol ammo?

Not to highjack either (which I'm about to do) I would be in for .22LR depeding on the brand or 9mm or both.

If someone wants to do that, be my guest! I think that may be more difficult with the demand on rifle/pistol ammo right now versus birdshot. A lot of us have been shooting clays every month so I thought it wouldn't be too hard finding people to go in on 30 cases.

If you need help lemme know. I still have about eight cases, but it doesn't go bad.......... My FFL buys a pallet at a time for him and his buddies. I got four cases last time. I use it for Knockdown Steel at OBRPC with my Saiga-12. It's not just for clays anymore!

Thanks brotha! If this gets enough bites, I may ask for the FFL info to talk to the owner.

What does(did) a case of shotgun ammo normally cost? Before the gun scare.

[DirtyDigz 1,812]

Interested. Best I've been able to do on a per case basis is ~$55 when Cabelas had specials.

[Scrap 4]

I would be interested in this.

 

 

If you have connections to do this would 00 Buck (Or possibly plain, rifled slugs but I am most interested in 00 Buck) be possible as well?

[bry@n 195]

If you get the cases to the 45-50 price range, I'd be in for 10 cases. I would prefer 8 shot also.

 

I can start a group buy for pistol ammo tomorrow.

[RSK70 0]

In for at least 2 cases!

[pbkid6974 1]

I'm in too.

[RecessedFilter 222]

Before the ammo price increase a few weeks ago, cases are usually $60 at Cabela's. At local shops, a case runs about $70-75.

 

Finding a large group for buckshot would probably be difficult as it's more expensive ($125 up for a case of 250) and their are 30 cases on a pallet I believe.

[RobertJames 14]

I'll take at least two, possibly more.

[bbh03 0]

I'm in for a couple.

[iRONman 7]

I'll take 3

[twong11219 0]

Put me down for 3 cases. 4 if you need to fill the quota.

[cigarsnscotch 0]

I'm interested but what's the difference between the two? I'm new to shotguns and don't know much about the different shells. I'd purchase the min. I think, maybe 3 or 4 if the price is right.

[DbleTrouble 8]

I'm in for 2 cases.

[hd2000fxdl 422]

Let us know the details, I may just join in if the price is right..

[Krdshrk 3,877]

Is this light target ammo? If so, I can't run that reliably through my 11-87. Need higher velocity/higher dram ammo for it to cycle properly.

[BlueLineFish 615]

Depending on what it is i would be in. Also depending how far away from me i could pick up the pallet in my truck

I have a truck i could pick up the whole pallet and bring it to one of the shootouts at the wma.

[GeorgeHM 5]

I would be in for at least 1 case of bird shoot. Maybe 2 if the there is a wait be for they come in and I don't go in on the and 22lr ammo buys.
