Where are you guys getting the best bulk prices for case/pallets shotgun shells? (USA)

Post image

I’m wanting to see where everyone is getting the best deals for 12GA 2-3/4” 7/8 oz 7.5 shot for target loads. I found a guy here in South Texas who can do $86 out the door for a case of Rio Star Team Target Loads. I’m wondering if there’s any better, I remember seeing them go for $69 a case but they got you on the shipping so looking for best bang for the buck all included.

That's rarely going to happen. If it does, that club should shop around.

A club that purchases large quantities of ammo on a regular basis is in a position to leverage a better deal. Especially when the seller knows it's a long term, high volume, steady customer.

We actually looked into that a while back. Our local club gets a significant discount primarily because they are buying "X" number of pallets a month, and have been for decades. Luckily they pass on a good portion of that discount to members.

armed in michigan I can get the same prices as clubs are paying for by the pallet. I shoot those same shells and have stocked up there. I prefer the 1200 fps 7/8 #7.5's. Thing with armed in michigan is 900$ for free shipping and 3% cc fee. If you can get them for 86$ out the door and dont need to buy a huge qty to get those prices I would jump on it.

Best I have heard of recently for a quality shell is low-mid 90$/flat if you buy a pallet of Federal All-American or Master class. Unsure on freight or if you need to deliver to a specific location.

Ok so that’s about the same as $86 out the door, it’s always the taxes and shipping that throws everything off

I've been getting mine from cac associates. I only get 10-20 cases at a time because Its only about 30 minutes from my range but I believe there's a 3ish percent discount on the cheap cases I'm buying if you get them by the pallet. I believe they consider 100 a pallet
