With a lot of hard look at hitting the sales just right, and buying in bulk; it can be had for close to it if you time it just right. But it wasn't really accurate to imply doing so is readily available - you aren't doing anything wrong.
I've already gone through about 2500 rounds of Grendel ammo. If I were paying retail prices, that would have been pricey. I use a lot of Wolf Steel, and I reload a lot. I shoot very little factory ammo Grendel; as it's quite expensive.
Really cause I'm not seeing it priced at a dollar a round. I don't count the cost of shipping and tax in the price of the ammo because that's just part of doing business online.
If I buy a box of ammo online and it's priced at 75 cents a round, well that's what I payed for it.
If you find a box of ammo on the shelf your going to pay tax's on it as well and that adds to the overall price. Doesn't it?
Guess it's all in how you look at it. But if it's labeled as 75 or 65 or 25 cents a round that's what your paying for it. To me tax's and shipping fees doesn't figure into it. Your going to pay that No matter where you buy the ammo.
Some stores charge higher tax's on off the shelf items then some online retailers charge for tax's and shipping.
Like I said it's all how you look at it.
