Alrighty guys,
I'm tired of waiting for my ammo from Bass Pro or Academy because of back orders, given the current times we're going through, is there a good website I can purchase ammo like .22 or 9mm and actually get it within a week? I should note that I'n not looking for bulk just 50 or 100 rounds at a time. TIA

https://www.midwayusa.comhttps://www.brownells.comMidway and Brownells are both longstanding reliable sites. Not always cheapest, but fair. And if they have it in stock, you'll get it promptly. Be sure to filter on what is in stock. 9Mil is hard to find right now on any site.

So those retailers are somehow not reputable now? Do you realize the gun and ammo demand in it's current state? And the more rounds you order the less likely you are to find them available.
I got over 50 orders on my website and by phone in 3 days time last week. There's no way I can process the shipments in several days time. I emailed my customers and notified them of an ETA and almost all were fine with that and thankful for the update. A larger retailer would easily be overwhelmed with orders. So, I don't see the correlation on a long shipping time due to an insane amount of orders makes someone less reputable.

I think it is doubtful you will find large quantities in stock and shipping in that time frame given the current situation... unless you are willing to pay some ridiculous prices.

I didn’t read that post as him thinking BPS or Academy are not reputable, just that he was asking for alternate suppliers who others find reputable that might have shorter lead times. JMHO I went shopping for my usual 30-30 Leverevolution and could not find it in stock anywhere. I’m not trying to bulk buy, just replace my usual supply for hunting.

i Would hate to see the backlog at the big box stores. My hunting buddy called me to make sure I had turkey loads as those were gone too.
There is a run on supplies. It’s going to take time for processing orders and resupply. And don’t forget there is a virus going around that is slowly some places down as well.
Your best bet imo is to barter. I needed a particular type of bullet and had some extra of another time so found someone to trade.

Yep, bartering has been working for me. That and "working" from home has allowed me to watch all the FS ads getting posted on various forums. You have to sort thru the gougers but some people still sell for decent prices including some at pre scare prices. You have to be online and quick though. Having a son working at Cabelas hasn't hurt either. Suddenly $50 for a 150 pack of Winchester 55gr 5.56 isn't a bad deal anymore. Their shipments are literally gone in minutes though it might take longer now since they implemented limited numbers being admitted into the store at once.

Midway ships fairly fast when things are normal. Able ammo is in Texas so I get ammo from them really fast, but right now I doubt your going to get 9mm or .22 shipped within a week from anyone, much less find what you want in stock. You do realize we are in pandemic. Be happy you got a back order in before they stop taking them.

There was a guy here on the forum looking to sell a few thousand rounds of 9mm just last week.

Great insight guys thanks!
Yeah I'm not here to call the big box guys less reputable just cause we're in a pandemic, just wanted someone less known to the greater public so there might be better shipping times. I thought about headed up to Able's, I live close to both locations, but they're usually higher than a cats a** on all of their items, in my experience anyhow. I'll be sure to look at Midway, Lucky Gunner, and Brownells for sure! Thanks again for the help!

Second on www.sgammo.com. Also www.targetsportsusa.com, palmettostatearmory.com, Bud's Gun Shop, Brownell's, Grab A Gun, Natchez and many others. Also check www.ammoseek.com. Can enter what caliber, grain, brass/steel, etc., etc., and find the current prices. Toy around with it with taxes/shipping costs too. I often go to the site and load up and check the end price with all the above considered. Sometimes the best deals aren't really that great due to exorbitant shipping. I've been using this site over the last few years to stock up after Trump got elected at super cheat prices. Problem now is everyone has gone up.

SGAmmo is not taking orders and has not been for over a week due to backlog.
Pass the gravy.

They started again yesterday or the day before but are running short staffed and putting up only very limited stock when they can deal with it. They only have a little .40 and .45 up right now, yesterday they had 7.62.x39, 5.56mm and maybe others. Prices were still good but until they are fully staffed again this is how they will be operating. They indicate they will only list what their partial staff can ship out within a couple of days. SGAmmo is not taking orders and has not been for over a week due to backlog.

I've had real good experiences with these guys, and they are headquartered in Texas! They seem to have a decent inventory, prices aren't bad, and free shipping. https://opticsandammo.com/
