ALIVE! Gearhog - $100 worth of ammo for $50 (USAAmmo)

Stolen from Fatwallet, again...

Today's special is basically buying an electronic gift card worth $100 in merchandise for $50 from http://www.usaammo.com/Default.aspx - it's "Groupon" style meaning you buy the coupon today but it won't be available to use until they've sold a specific number of the electronic coupons (the timer on the deal is 36 hours until it expires at which time you can spend it). A lot of people seem confused by the concept so be aware that this isn't going to be immediately available for use today after you buy the coupon.

Here's the description USA Ammo gives of themselves:
..

"USA Ammo is an American based manufacturer of high quality new and remanufactured ammunition.

USA Ammo assembles ammunition on the latest Ammo Load Mark 10 and Mark L Loading Machines. They're a manufacturer dedicated to producing the best quality and value in center fire range and training ammunition. "
..

I have never worked with USA ammo and am NOT endorsing the products, Google searches seem to indicate it's fine range ammunition - some of which is built on new components, some is once-fired brass (specified in their catalog when you shop different calibers). Prices overall seem average without the coupon BUT the price with is pretty stellar. I don't know that I'd spend much more than $100 to maximize the value of the coupon.

The 100 grain, flat nose FMJ .380 is $109.50 before the coupon which would make it $9.50 after your $100 coupon plus the $50 cost for the coupon which is $59.50 for 500 rounds of 380. They also have a half price shipping coupon out there by entering "MOREAMMO" at checkout. I quit buying commercial ammo so I am not as up on pricing but the .45 and 9mm I looked at seemed to follow a similar trend vs local purchase.

Wow, that was fast - guess I didn't realize there was an 850 cap (it was at 842 when I posted.. go figure)... boo/hiss.

[Shipyard]

no kidding - looks liek they got some pretty decent prices on blastin fodder as long as the shipping isn't too high.

good find!

It's alive again!

I ended up picking up 250 rounds of .45 auto (FMJ) and 100 rounds of 9mm (JHP) and had to kick in an extra $11.02 for a total out of pocket of $61.02 shipped. That wouldn't have gotten me 2 boxes of WWB in .45 auto locally... Not bad

The gift certificate can be used immediately and you get half price shipping if you enter the coupon "moreammo"

Enjoy!

... son of...

I was kicking myself yesterday when I missed the first 800 slots.. looks like they opened it up to 2000 and sold out again today.

The concept is kind of cool, I see they were selling a Brownell's gift card for half of face value the day before so it seems like this is the shooter's version of "Groupon."

I like groupon, and a groupon for this hobby is even better

Thanks for the heads up, Hope more of these pop up
