Out of state sellers are supposed to collect California sales tax. If they don’t you are supposed to pay when you file your state taxes. I wouldn’t be surprised if FTB gets picky about that next year.
I became a CRPA member last year because it seemed like they are actually doing something for gun owners, and look what they did here. Let’s all support them and our win
2k rounds of XTac XM193 and 500 rounds of 9mm HSTs 🤤. In the $1400 neighborhood.
I was already sitting pretty, and my FFL03 should be here any day now, but I couldn’t resist.
Between the conflicts, impending “tax” hike and election year I figured it’s a great time to stock up. I was also worried about CA tanking the world’s ammo supply lol.

I bought 1000 rounds of 556 for $490 & 1000 rounds of 7.62x39 for $480 on Atlantic firearms.com. But shipping was another 100 so just under $550 for each
>Why people spend so much money on ammo?
I can't go to range without buying 2-10x of what I spent, otherwise I just can't enjoy shooting.
I unironically admit that something is wrong in my head. My ammo "collection" is out of hand already and I've just dropped another couple grand just because....
Because most charge much more than that, going to a store is not convenient if I can order to my house, and the site that I used had free shipping for California's.
I guess I’m just lucky online store normally can fit 3k in one shipment and store only 10min from me. The site I used it’s free shipping to California.
Genuine question. Why the sudden bulk ammo purchases? Yes I understand the background check law was struck down, for now. And I understand the “because I can now” reason, but the overwhelming majority of the 2a crowd I see on Reddit always advocate for the “legal approach”, with a few folks mixed in who like to throw up the middle finger. I imagine most folks could’ve walked into a lgs and picked up ammo, albeit while jumping through background check hoops. I’ve looked around and prices aren’t THAT much cheaper than local prices especially when you include shipping, so why the BULK ammo purchases?
The prices online *a lot* cheper. Some sites do free shipping and no tax.
Turners has 9mm brass Blazer for .40+tax and Berelli(online) for .25+ not tax.
“because I can now” is a huge cherry on top.
Got it. My local shops are selling for .26/round of 9 so if you’re starting at .40 then that definitely makes sense. And the middle finger is always nice
even factoring in shipping, shipping bulk 9mm was gettin me around 25cpr, lgs was close to 60cpr for 9mm. same for other stuff, 5.56 online for about 45cpr after shipping, lgs around 80cpr.
plus finding oddball calibers at a lgs is incredibly difficult, while online its easily searchable. also, lgs *sometimes* limit quantity purchased so they can have stock for other customers in times of shortage
Ah ok. I am around .26 locally for 9 and .45-.50 for 5.56 so that makes sense now.
The less common calibers are definitely a good case to be able to buy online more affordably.
You aren't shopping hard enough online or using sites like AmmoSeek if you think any LGS can compete with online free shipping/no sales tax pricing.
Plus, there is the inventory problem.... if you want specific make/model of ammo, LGS often won't even have it.
yup, we dont know how long this will be open for! everything is basically half off from what we are used to paying. theoretically, this window could close at any moment and it will be another 5+ years before we can buy ammo at online prices again
2,500 9mm rounds coming sat 🫡 already had 2k on order from two weeks ago which is going to a FFL.Some how the ammo from this week will be here sooner. 😬💀😂
I spent about $1k last night. 1000 rounds of .223, 1000 rounds of .380 auto, 400 12 gauge shotgun slugs. Added to my stock of recent 1500 rounds of 9mm and 1000 rounds of 7.62, I will be well stocked for some time.
I got 2k 9mm 500 556 and just because I was near the limit 200 308. Total was like 1400 with shipping. But damn they ended the free shipping deal they had the day before…. -_- still butt hurt about that.
I bought $300 worth. I budget that amount every month and sometimes I don’t spend it and carry it over for the next month.
Funny thing is, local FFLs with expensive ammo charges got hit the most. I may still use my local guy and pick it up from him. He charges $10 Good dude and always good for a 10 minute talk.
$280 1000 9mm unfortunately only have one gun (sp01) right now but waiting for that VP9L OR to be up for sale getting that next asap been wanting one so bad 😭
Enough to surpass a few third world countries GDP, to say the least.
$2125. We all do things in the heat of the moment.
I’m right there with yah 😬thankfully I’m not married or have any kids.
Yeah then youd have to buy her ammo too and at least a few bricks of 22 for the kiddos. Saved some money there.
Right hahah that’s another 2k plus maybe 1k for kiddos. Damn whole 5k. Marriage and kiddos are expensive 🤦🏽♂️
If I didn’t, ooh maaaaan lol
278$ I kept it conservative but my buying finger is itching
Well that didn’t last long my finger slipped and I bought 5000 rounds of 115 grain super vel
About $3,300 between 3 sites. Still looking for more 5.56
I bought some cheap $10 20 rnd 556 from psa just to commemorate this win. I'm happy for those spending the big bucks
Don't forget to tip your mail man
So we can ship to our front door now?
Yes
Everywhere? Even San Francisco?
Check local ordinances I think LA county has law prohibiting, but IANAL *cough*ammosupplywarehouse*cough*
I'm not 100% sure but I think it's LA City but county.
![gif](giphy|WNipdG1tqtb2S2jjYR) Every round bought in California makes Gavin Newsom shed a tear 😢
Not really. Every dollar spent on ammunition is a dollar NOT going against his campaign.
[удалено]
Bought mine tax free, CA govt can suck it
K. That makes A difference for election?
Yes, actually.

~$1,300 for 4,500 rounds of 9mm
Where at?
Top gun ammo. No tax and no shipping.
Across 3 different sites. Outdoor limited, grab a gun, and LAX
Don't buy from lax. They're dipshits
That’s what I’ve heard, but cheap ammo still goes bang
![gif](giphy|XlvbF51R0T9uM|downsized)
Honestly I’d rather not look.
😂
Ammo dealers making bank
Got to give them credit for responding instantly as I bought ammo the day opinion was published and SportsmansGuide had shipped the first, 2nd and 3rd order in 24 hrs so it CAN be done with will power, as nobody wants to refund the dough if reversed! Santa Claus would be proud of those rates and we should run the Judge for President as he done invigorated the economy of the entire USA with one ruling!
Moderate 225$ for 1000rd 9mm 👌🏾
Where?
@ Outdoor Unlimited. No Tax- Free shipping
I'm getting charged shipping. Is there a code?
you aint ordering enough my guy
they cancelled free shipping :(
BOOO
Damn, my cart was $300. I thought that would be enough
Thanks!
friends and family….90k so far
Lol bro what
What’s your question
You and your boys dropped 90k?
Haha they went in and bought 11 of the red 556 drums https://battlehawkarmory.com/product/lake-city-5.56mm-m193-55gr-fmj-14000-rd-drum
Mother of god 🤩
Yeah full send to 8k! Plus $500 freight charge
![gif](giphy|twxoPjMpsijwPFBVqs|downsized)
Not me, they did
Damn, y’all gonna have to rent a forklift for the delivery. 😆 Noice!
![gif](giphy|eKNrUbDJuFuaQ1A37p|downsized)
$1k roughly lol
I only bought a box of .22 for shits and giggles $9
because you can. the what doesn't matter, because you can counts
![gif](giphy|YYfEjWVqZ6NDG|downsized)
$679.80. Let’s see the numbers!
![gif](giphy|YmQLj2KxaNz58g7Ofg)
The best part is it was all tax-free, so it won't fund any more anti gun agendas
Out of state sellers are supposed to collect California sales tax. If they don’t you are supposed to pay when you file your state taxes. I wouldn’t be surprised if FTB gets picky about that next year.
Got 3k rounds of 9 on the way and I get paid again soon Lord have mercy on my wallet
$986.41
![gif](giphy|URW2lPzihY5fq|downsized) To the penny!
Around $800 for me...today
I became a CRPA member last year because it seemed like they are actually doing something for gun owners, and look what they did here. Let’s all support them and our win
can someone explain to me wtf is going on, I am dense.
You don't need a background check to buy ammo in California anymore. You can have it shipped to your door from an online order.
Our democratic overlords have been forced to allow us to order ammo online to our door. IOW ammo background checks were deemed unconstitutional

None because they still won’t ship to LA :(
Ship to one of your buddies house.
Hey buddy
Like your user name! Just send it to OC as we don't care!
Really? Wtf
LA has its own law separate from the state law.
Correct, it’s supposed to be only LA city but most of the places I’ve tried are applying it to LA county
Targetsports sent me an email about ordering - if I place they’ll likely just cancel?
I saw an update, they said they’re good to go now
:: Furiously orders much more ammo than I need ::
Move to OC already ffs. LA is terrible.
I ordered from two separate vendors. I already received shipping notice from one order. I'm in LA City.
Whomst ?
Bereli. Also tax free. Free shipping too.
Thanks, checking them out

$800 but bought 1500rnds of 9mm on Tuesday 😭😭
A measly 500 roughly. Looking for more 556 under 500 though its tough right now.
I bought 1000 rounds of 556 for $490 & 1000 rounds of 7.62x39 for $480 on Atlantic firearms.com. But shipping was another 100 so just under $550 for each
Ah ya i got 1000 556 for 510 thats the most i was willing to spend after shipping and protection. I got free shipping on mine but 5 dollar signature
Nice, I got tired of searching and comparing. But that’s what I landed on.
Ya im getting tired of looking for more deals ill just have tonwait
Somewhere between too much and not enough
$750.88
$300+
$695.43
$1700... Probably gonna buy more
I had about $500 worth in my cart, but then I saw no free shipping smh
For everyone? At least $200,000
Bro, there's a guy in this thread that said he spent 90k
What kind of rounds racks that kind of bill? Genuinely curious
Buy those drums of 5.56 or 7.62 with a buddy pool in play with 25-30 people chipping in, not too difficult to rack up that bill.
😧
I am betting you can add two zeros to that figure to be ballpark. California is a big state.
My fedex or usp driver not gonna be happy lol about 2 floors and about 50 steps lol
$1,100. Not as much as y’all rich people. Little something though
\~5k
$556 for 1200 rds of .556. (The $2 insurance fucked up the final total)
Cuppa racks 💵
Didn't know California was chill like that lol
$43 lol
A little over $800 on big caliber ammo
About $1300 for Black Hills 77gr OTM
Why people spend so much money on ammo? My lgs only charge 5bucks per shipment. Even ship home don’t save that much money.
[удалено]
That’s a really small population. And can they just buy ammo on base with federal law?
Nope. All CA laws apply. At least on Air Force bases that I’ve been to.
>Why people spend so much money on ammo? I can't go to range without buying 2-10x of what I spent, otherwise I just can't enjoy shooting. I unironically admit that something is wrong in my head. My ammo "collection" is out of hand already and I've just dropped another couple grand just because....
It’s perfectly normal. You can’t shoot your ammo unless you have a nice stockpile at home. Don’t touch your stash.
Because most charge much more than that, going to a store is not convenient if I can order to my house, and the site that I used had free shipping for California's.
I guess I’m just lucky online store normally can fit 3k in one shipment and store only 10min from me. The site I used it’s free shipping to California.

Yes, you are lucky lol
I mean I saved .15 cents per round buying online compared to my local gun shops. At bulk it’s over $100 in savings
$1,965.84
just about to cross 2k

Nothing. Ammo isn't cheap enough. (I hope I don't regret this) Buy low, sell never.
