Who would be a good supplier?

I don't have a 9mm, but I would use CCI Blazer. They make a 124 grain FMJ.

I use Target Sports USA. Cheaper shipping and generally better prices and selection than Outdoor Limited. They feed my old Military surplus rifles as cheap as possible, although the 6.5 Carcano I just bought I had to get cartridges from Miwall and it was effectively $2.25 per round with their shipping

Have not used it
If your ok with not reloading could get Wolf 115gr

I've been shooting a lot of Federal 9mm. Local shop here bags it from bulk and sold it relatively inexpensively. I'm getting low, so haven't been shooting much the last year.

The Great Outdoors Store has REM 9MM 115GR FMJ UMC 50RD for $12.99 a box. Orders over $75 give you free shipping. However, shipping is reasonable ... 5 boxes of 9MM and the shipping to central PA is $8.99 total.

Full disclosure, I have not bought any ammo from them yet. The only thing I bought from them was through ebay last week, a spare magazine for my new Savage Trophy Hunter .243. They were the only place I could find one available (all others were back-ordered) at a semi-decent price. I ordered on Thursday and was told it would be here on Thursday, but it came on Monday ... 3 days ahead of schedule. It was new-in-box, Savage brand ... no complaints. Been looking at their website for other things and they seem decent.

I came across Target Sports USA in my searching. They sell Federal American Eagle. Always been a Federal fan. I know a guy that does a ton of shooting and reloading. Need to see if he does 9mm. I know he's into rifles...
2.25/ rd..... That can get spendy

I bought 100rds of Blazers today. $17 a box....

I used to be a big Rem fan. Deer rifles etc. Once I went to Federal I seemed to shoot a better group.....

Do you have a link? All I found was it being a clothing store...

Alot of places were sold out. I suppose because of the price.... I did find some places that still carried it.....

Yup. I generally buy 7.62x39 and 7.62x54R as the 2 rifles I've had the longest is an SKS and a Mosin Nagant 91/30. It's generally in the $8-15 per box of 20 for whatever Russian brand is available. Target Sports USA gets me what I want in a couple days, and the shipping starts at $15, but is free if you buy by the case

The Carcano is a cool old rifle and they are cheap, but PPU is the only manufacture of 6.5x52mm so they are not cheap to feed unless you can reload, especially if the PPU ammo has dried up like it has

I have an SKS too and a bunch of 7.62x39 rds. Its been a while since I shot it. Way back in the day I bought it at a gas station. It was a non issued rifle to the Chinese army. It was still packed in grease. Those days they shipped with the bayonet. That day is long gone. It has the heavy barrel and is extremely accurate..... Just not the prettiest gun....

none sell in unissued condition, however there is a batch of Chinese SKS floating around packed in grease with the bayonets for a little under $500. I think Palmetto State Army is the last one with any of the rifles.. Mine is a Norinco imported that was in a plastic stock but it still had the bayonet. I put it into an unissued surplus Russian stock and had to remove the bayonet since Russians used a blade bayonet but Chinese used a spike bayonet and the relief in the stock is different

We're talking many years ago, 40+. We bought them for $100. I forget what came with them, a sling, oiling container, there may have been something else too. My bro bought the Russion one with the blade bayonet....

I also got an ammo vest. Pretty much everything a soldier needed.....

 

[matt167]

Pretty neat it actually came with a rifle. I had one I got with a bunch of stripper clips that I bought but I gave it away as a birthday gift to someone

Yeah, it was pretty cool. I think we bought stripper clips seperately...
Saved a link for 9mm Federal American Eagle ammo from Target Sports USA. Well, drug my heals and they're out of stock. Alot of places are now out of those rounds. Scrolled quite a bit and found that Sportsmans Outdoor Superstore had some in stock. $40/box of $100 if you buy 3 or more boxes. I bought 9, their max. Same price as Target Sports USA. Hope it doesn't fall thru... Have emails for the order...

Good deal. When you go ammo shopping online always make sure you get 9mm Luger or 9x19mm. 9x18mm Makarov is sometimes listed as 9mm Makarov. Not always, it's usually sold with it's full dimensions listed where 9x19mm is sold as 9mm with Luger in small print in most cases

Unless they falsified the info it should be good..... I just checked the status, they shipped already....
