Finding ammunition in large quantities is becoming more difficult every day. Many people choose to stock pile sufficient amounts of ammunition to ensure availability for hunting or range shooting. Others keep large amounts available for competition shooting matches or qualification matches for law enforcement. Frontsight ammo is a viable retail and online resource for all of these situations.

When prices for guns and ammunition began rising because of supply and demand issues Russel May opened a company designed to help keep the prices of these items at reasonable levels. One of the ways he accomplished this was to purchase in large quantities from the manufacturers. He was then able to sell them to his customers at a reduced price. Another method commonly used by retailers is to enter into agreements with manufacturers regarding the number of items planned to be purchased on a regular basis.

As part of their program this company offers training boot camps in Nevada for weapons enthusiasts. In the camps they attempt to train participants in safe and effective use of their weapon of choice. Those enrolled are required to supply the ammunition used during their training. There are several different courses offered and every course requires a specific number of rounds to be purchased prior to beginning the classes. The number needed can be as high as sixteen hundred if the participant is using a semi-automatic weapon.

There are very stringent rules regarding the type of ammunition that can be used during the courses. The first and most important rule is there can be no reloaded bullets. Even bullets that have been reloaded in a factory are not allowed. These bullets can be very dangerous to the user because of variations in powder content, case fatigue from prior use or incorrect case sizing. Any of these can cause catastrophic firearm failure where the gun blows up and injures the user.

Only metal jacketed rounds are allowed to be used on the courses. They cannot be steel jacketed bullets or any other kind of incendiary round including tracer rounds. Lead rounds are acceptable as long as they have metal jackets.

There are specific manufacturers that are recommended for purchase by the course instructors. Remington, Winchester and Speer are among them. These brands can be purchased in must sporting goods stores or pro shops. Those who prefer to purchase their ammunition from local retail outlets may be confronted with the problem of transporting and storing them to the training site. If you purchase it from Front Sight Pro Shops they will store it at the site until you arrive for your training.

Many have solved the storage problem by having the ammunition shipped to the hotel where they plan to stay and asking them to store it temporarily until they arrive. Unfortunately you will not be able to ship them to the training site unless you have purchased them from the Pro-shop operated by Front Sight.

The goal of Front Sight Firearms has always been to supply affordable weapons, accessories and ammunition to their customers. The programs they offer and the products they have for clients bring them closer to this goal as time passes.
