Deal: PMC X-TAC 5.56 LAP $7.99 per box of 20

SGAmmo.com has PMC X-TAC 5.56 on sale.

PMC X-TAC 5.56 LAP $7.99 per box of 20 (plus shipping).

They also have bulk packages as well. This is the lowest price for this ammo that I have seen in a while.

Shipping was a bit expensive, so I would suggest buying a lot if you are interested in maximizing your savings.

Deal: Fiocchi 9mm 50rd - $13.99 + shipping at MidwayUSA

Decent deal for some 9mm Fiocchi ammo at Midway USA. 50rd boxes going for $13.99 + shipping.  I recently went through a few boxes at the range and did not have any issues with it. Good, clean, reliable ammo here.

Remington 22LR Ammo Thunderbolt - 500rd for $39.99 + Shipping

For anyone who is itching to get some 22LR ammo, below is a link to a 500 round box of Remington Thunderbolt ammo going for $39.99 + shipping. This is the ammo I first bought when I first started shooting. I've had mixed experiences with it. My experience with this particular brand of ammo seems to be the same as others that have had reviewed this ammo too, but as some may know 22LR ammo is sometimes finicky in certain semi-autos. FTE/FTF's weren't uncommon in my Marlin 795 using Remington Thunderbolt ammo, but again your milage may vary.

I can say that since switching to CCI Mini-Mag ammo, I haven't had any issues with failures. But considering that you can hardly find any 22LR ammo around currently, anyone that is really looking to get their fix might certainly make do with what is available.

Deal: Palmetto State Armory Ammo

Palmetto State Armory has a good deal on some Prvi Partisan .223 55gr ammo. It's brass cased FMJBT for those who don't like shooting steel. It's $7.99 per box of 20. While you are there, you can pick up some 9mm at the same time to save on shipping. The CCI 9mm luger ammo for plinking too. It's $99.99 for 350 rounds which is pretty good and comes in an ammo can too. Links below for both:

The Shooting Sports: My Story and Intentions

Let me introduce myself. I'm relatively new to shooting and will be the first the admit that I'm definitely still a novice when it comes to the shooting sport. I've been interested in the shooting sports, since I was a kid. A few years ago, I saw a Marlin 795 rifle in my local Dick's circular going for $99 after mail-in-rebate, and I thought to myself "why the heck not!"

Needless to say, after going to my local range for the first time, I fell in love with the sport. I definitely had a blast (yes that was a bad pun). After some time though, I wanted to move on from plinking with a 22LR and moved on to an AR-15 chambered in .223/5.56 and a 9mm handgun. Shortly thereafter came the realization that this sport can get really expensive!

Ammo, scopes, storage, AR parts, cleaning supplies, accessories, lessons, range time, etc. It all adds up, and soon enough you will find yourself looking for bargains where ever you can. So here I am today, scouring the internet daily for deals on ammo, accessories, firearms, and various other things to support the hobby that I love. Then I got the idea that I might as well blog about the deals that I find and my experience with certain products that I've run across as well to share the love so to speak.

This blog will be dedicated to finding particular deals across the web as well as sharing my thoughts, good and bad) on particular products. If anyone has any recommendations or feedback, feel free to drop those in the comments section.

Happy shooting all!
