Dave-
I just wanted to say you guys almost always do a great job with ammo at Fleet Farm. Sure, sometimes you are out of stock, but heck you've almost always got the lowest prices around. Please keep up the good work!

In what caliber, we have everyday prices of 9mm, 40 lower then that with other brands that are higher quality the Blazer brass. I honestly can't remember what pricing is for 45 off hand if that's what you are referring to. For example, 9mm American Eagle is $11.88, other brands are usually $11.99/50.
Thanks, Dave


They have 250 round boxes of 40,45, .380, and .38 special normally $99 but goes on sale often for $89. The 9mm box comes in 350 round box which comes out to just under $13/50 rounds when it's in sale, which really isn't a good deal. Hell the way you guys price you could probably beat Gander on their bulk pack price.

Thanks, and so you know, we always do rain checks as well, even for sale prices. Just ask the customer service counter or any of our staff to help you out.

It sounds like their sale prices, even with the bulk pack, are still higher then our normal prices. Even at $90/250 rounds or 5 boxes, thats $18 a box/50, our prices are lower then that on most of the calibers you listed. Again for some reason I can't recall what 45 is at the moment, Ill swing into a store and find out. Up to you where you spend your money, but I know where I shop. In most of our stores the pistol ammo is across from the pistol case and rifle ammo is very close to the counter, we try to keep them together. In some stores we have more space then others, but I can assure you its worth it to find it, we really want to keep our prices as low as possible and be the go to place for firearms and ammo.

If we put a register in sporting good you wouldn't buy any pretzels :D .

Thanks guys!

If you put the pretzels between the powder and the primers I promise I will buy some everytime I go. ;)

that and a special hold for plblark section behind the counter so the hoarders don't clean it out before I get there.

I REALLY like the Blaine store layout by the way. I can never get out of there without 3 or 4 items I didn't know I needed that were NOT on the list :-)

If FF stocked the right mix of reloading components at the right price, I don't think you'll have any problems moving them.

Oh, and forget pretzels. Animal crackers FTW.
