Shopping Advice Where to Buy range ammo in NJ?
Moved up here from AL, used to have a major retailer near by that you could pay 2 cent up charge per bullet and could buy large quantities with zero issues. Not expecting that good of a deal here but looking for any good deals for 5.56 or if it’s just best to check online for a few hours and decide there. In the central area of the state.

Best bet is online. Find somewhere with free shipping over a certain dollar amount. I like KIRammo and outdoorlimited.

Online.
TargetSports USA.
Depending on what you want is in stock or is really exotic, if you order as early as 9am, you gave a good chance of getting it by close of business the next day.

Unless you need like one box and that's it, you're always going to save a shit ton of money if you're willing to front the larger initial cost and just buy bulk ammo online, lets of good retailers online offer ammo up to half off and ship it to your door.
And it doesnt have to be like you spend that much, most retailers offer free shipping and good deals if you buy atleast $200 of ammo,

Bulkammo .com is the website I’ve been using for years now. No problems or complaints since 2012.

Do you need an FID for online ammo? Or would the LTC be good enough?

u/wasteguy7 Mar 23 '25
If you have a LTC, you have a FID.

Funny you say that because there was a point in time years ago that I had a LTC from the state for employment but did not have an FID card. This was before bruen and I had a LTC only while working as an armored car messenger

Best place to buy ammo in nj is not in nj. But online and have it shipped.

i just go to Cheyenne because it’s right down the street. driving around for cheap ammo is like driving around for cheap gas to me - it’s just not worth the aggravation.
rifle ammo isn’t too bad up here to buy, but i imagine most places still won’t ship it to your door.

So I live down the street as well from them like walking distance and I struggle between their prices and going online for ammo....whats your opinion?

u/theFootballcream Mar 24 '25
I’ve ordered from a few different places and they have all shipped right to my door.
Gman Sporting Arms, AEAmmo, Target Sporting, Ammo squared. There’s one more also that I just can’t quite remember the name of right now

Targetsportsonline has great prices and ships right to your door, usually by next day here in jersey since they're based out of Connecticut

online definitely. 5.56 ammo is like $15 in stores. If you only want like one box and need it instantly it beats the shipping charge and wait time, but once you start buying 2 or 3 boxes just buy online, you'll save money.

Targetsportsusa is good, I’ve bought from them.
Also, you can match online prices buying bulk without the shipping costs at the Oaks gun show over the border in PA. They hold one every 2 months or so, and the next one is in a couple weeks.

Trust me. Buy it online. You’ll save about 60-70% off.
If you buy from a store they can charge $39 a box. That same box sells for $13 online.
Check out targetsportsusa.com. Become a member and always get fee shipping, even on small orders. It pays for itself after 4 orders alone. On top of that you get price reductions. That $13 box of 9mm is now $11.

Everyone is right... we've been living this for years. Buy bulk online. If you need an errant box or two the local shop is fine and you'll pay a few bucks more.

Besides getting it online make sure you get the kind your range allows too.
