Working out a deal with an ammo maker to make me some hunting loads. However, they cannot sell directly to me. They asked for a list of ammo retail outlets near me. I did not ask about online retailers so I will do that. I plan to pre-purchase the ammo before it arrives at the retailer. However I have heard of horror stories of retailers not being ethical in the prior and current gun and ammo shortages. I am afraid the retailer might:
1. Gouge me on price. I am sue the manufacturer will be fair but he has no control over the retailers pricing. I do not mind paying an inflated price but paying like $45 for ammo that use to cost $19 a year ago is something I want to avoid.
2. Sell the ammo to someone else for a higher profit.
3. Just stock the ammo on their shelves either thru error or more profit.
Even prepaying, my only damages for the above would be refund of my purchase price. I would still be screwed.
I have heard several people tell me Adventure Outdoors gave them problems on gun purchases. I have not had a problem with them but my purchases have been in stock and small. Everybody I know has given good marks to Cherokee Gun and Pawn and my dealings with several gun purchases have been great and prices on the cheap side. Their policy of not charging a firearm transfer fee is noteworthy. Please advise of any ammo retailers you can recommend. Would prefer in northwest metro Atlanta but do not mind driving as I plan to buy as much as I can afford. Purchase will be at least 100 rounds plus anymore I can get and afford. Anyway hopefully I can find someone I am comfortable with that the ammo maker will sell to. Thank you in advance for replies.
