I buy from my LGS whenever they have it in stock, just so I can do a little bit to support them.

How many of you guys buy your ammo in bulk online? I can't remember the last time I went to a brick and mortar store to buy ammo. Actually I take that back, I bought 3 boxes of some Aguilla .22 trying to figure out what feeds good in my Ruger LCP II.

I can’t remember the last time I bought ammo from a brick & mortar store.

The last time I bought from a brick and mortar was last December. I found a good price on some ammo at my favorite range.
