Buying ammunition can be expensive, so finding bulk 9mm Luger ammo for sale may be an excellent way to get a great price for a large quantity that you can store until you need it. Standard full metal jacket ammo is often used for range shooting, so if you spend a lot of time on the range, you could significantly reduce your shooting expenses by finding a deal on the ammo.

Storing Ammunition

If you find ammunition for sale in bulk and choose to purchase a large quantity, you will need to have a place to store it safely. Ammunition needs to be stored in an area that is dry and cool so that the gunpowder and primer inside the cartridge remain stable. 

It also needs to be secure so that you are the only one that has access to it. A closet in your home may seem like a good spot for it, but it does not provide all the things you need for proper storage. 

It would be best to store ammunition in a safe or metal storage cabinet that can be locked and is in a place that will remain cool. Once you put the ammo in storage, it is crucial to check on it often and if you notice any moisture inside the cabinet or safe, move the ammo to a different storage spot right away. 

The cabinet should also be marked so that anyone coming in contact with the storage will know there is live ammunition inside. If you have a fire in your home, responders need to know the ammo is in the house before entering the structure. 

Buying Bulk Ammo

There are places that will sell ammunition in bulk, like gun shops with too much on hand or retailers that handle many different ammunition types. It is essential that you ask about the ammo you are considering before purchasing it to determine its condition. 

If you can physically inspect the ammunition, look for stains on the boxes that indicate that it has been wet, and open a few boxes to check the condition of the cartridges. Taking the time to inspect the ammunition before you buy it is the best way to ensure you are not buying something unstable or that can't be used. 

In some cases, you may find ammunition for sale in bulk directly from the manufacturer that is new ammo, just discounted with volume purchases. The upfront cost may be significant for the quantity you need to purchase, but if you shoot often, you could save a lot of money, and it may help to get a few shooting friends to go in on the deal with you and split the cost on the bulk purchase.
