SurplusAmmo.com has a decent deal on Armscor USA: 45 ACP ammunition. It is 230 grain, FMJ ammo. They are offering it at $15.99 per box, or at $156.99 per 500 rounds or $299.99 (this one is a 24 hour deal) for a case of 1,000 rounds. I ordered some and shipping was reasonable considering it is coming from WA and as compared to shipping prices at other dealers who are even closer to my home than that.
Armscor USA ammo is made here in the USA. I have used Armscor ammo before and have had no complaints. It is certainly good to go for use at the range for self defense and tactical training. These are the specs for it straight from the Armscor USA site:
Specifications and Features: Caliber: .45 Auto
Grain Weight: 230
Bullet Type: FMJ
Muzzle Velocity: 830 fps
Velocity at 50 yards: 802 fps
Velocity at 100 yards: 776 fps
Muzzle Energy: 352 ft/lbs
Energy at 50 yards: 328 ft/lbs
Energy at 100 yards: 307 ft/lbs
Uses: Target Practice, Plinking

I think that this ammo would put a memorable hurting on a bad guy against whom you had to legally defend yourself. I must admit I prefer jacketed hollow points for that or at least a mixture of FMJ and JHP rounds in my mags but this might suffice in a pinch.
Hopefully there will not be any hitches with my order. I sent Surplus Ammo an email to inquire if they have my local FFL's license on file. They replied within an hour and said they did not but to go ahead and place the order and then have the FFL send them the copy of their license. So that is exactly what I did. My guess is that my FFL will send the copy to them tomorrow and the shipment will be with UPS soon.
As a follow-up note to my previous post, this was even less expensive than what I could have gotten at SportsmansGuide before they cancelled my order because they refuse to ship to NY State. Fuck them, I have found a yet another new source of ammo.
All the best,
Glenn B
