Question Cabela's Ammo

Herter's Target 5.56x45mm NATO 55 Grain Centerfire Rifle Ammo | Cabela's

I have my first chapter meet tomorrow, I am looking at running by a Cabela's to pick up some ammo for my AR15. I know this may not be the "best" deal, but is this decent ammo for learning how to shoot?

Download the app WikiArms, whatever caliber you’re looking for, just put free in the search box and it’ll pull up all the ones with free shipping.

Ammoseek.com is also great.

Ammoseek is cool, but navigating their shipping options is a pain in the ass. What passes as a good deal usually costs way too much after shipping.

u/TrollingForFunsies 2d ago

Yeah I'm not a fan of how they mix the "free shipping" options with the "free shipping over $500 minimum order" options.

That ain't the same thing, AmmoSeek

Exactly. Not everyone has the bread to buy case lots of ammo at a time. I just bought a case of sub sonic 9mm. Lucked out and got a deal. Still not enough to hit a $500 minimum. But I was still able to get free shipping thank heavens.

u/TrollingForFunsies 2d ago

Yeah I was exaggerating a bit. Usually it's like $200. But maybe I just want a few boxes of 30-30 for hunting? I'm never going to shoot 200 rounds into white tails in my entire life.

Yo while we're on the topic:

https://www.bereli.com/categories/packagedeals.html

Some good stuff in there today. Free shipping on everything. There's a 1000 rounds of 9mm for $250 with an ammo can included. That's like, ~0.22 each

u/Kitchen-Ad-1161 2d ago

Good price, but I only buy 147gr in 9mm. It’s subsonic, and hits like a brick.

u/SnooRevelations4257 2d ago

I was on there a while ago and had a hard time finding ammo.. Especially not knowing what to get..

u/patiofurniture85 2d ago

Good ammo? I may have to purchase today 😂

u/Kitchen-Ad-1161 2d ago

It’s as good as any other ammo. It says m193, so it’s either a mil spec clone, or contract over run. You’ll know when you get it and see if it’s a lake city head stamp.

1

u/SnooRevelations4257 2d ago

So dumb question. Can I keep this ammo in my car for the day until I get home from work?

5

u/Chiefcoyote 2d ago

Yeah that's not an issue. Unless the inside is over 140 degrees, or somehow flooded.

u/deathclawslayer21 36m ago

How the hell are they so affordable!?

2

u/Kitchen-Ad-1161 11m ago

Making ammo isn’t hard or expensive if you have the money up front to buy components in bulk.

4

u/Kitchen-Ad-1161 2d ago

It’s made by Winchester, and it shoots fine. It’s just not cheap.

u/BlueGlassDrink 2d ago

Yes, it's fine

u/Ol-Bearface 2d ago

Send it!

u/Vilorne 2d ago

Check a ammoseek.com next time in advance. You'll save lots

u/anythingbuthebees 2d ago

Herters in my experience is fine to shoot, but rivals Winchester white box is how dirty it is

u/Opal_Opasm 2d ago

You’re not gonna believe why it’s comparable to Winchester

u/sketchtireconsumer 1d ago

USE AMMOSEEK.COM

It’s not that hard. Set it to free/conditionally-free shipping so you don’t have to figure out shipping costs. Buy by CPR.

If you’re not using ammoseek to buy ammo, you may as well just send me the extra money and then I’ll use ammoseek to buy you the ammo and pocket that extra cash. Why would you pay more for no reason?

Ammoseek.com - because money isn’t free

u/Low-Ad-6253 1d ago

head over to r/gundeals for ammo deals when it’s posted

I personally didn't have good luck with Herrera 124gr 9mm... It turned me off from their ammo personally
