Rifle Ammo
Federal Premium .223 Remington, 55-grain – 38% off at Brownells
While you may still be a skeptic about the .223 for deer hunting, plenty of hunters turn to it for deer, and it’s one of the standards when hog hunting. At 38%, it’s a pretty outrageous discount from one of the ammunition big names. You’re paying $25 for 20 rounds, $1.25/round.
Winchester Deer Season XP Copper Impact .243 Winchester, 85-grain – 8.5% off at Brownells

If you’re looking for a cheaper .243 Win. round, at 13% off, a box of 20 from Federal will set you back $27.49, $1.37/round. That V-Max bullet gives you good, consistent expansion to deal with whatever varmint you’re after.
Remington Core-Lokt 7mm Remington Magnum, 175-grain – 11% off at Brownells
Remington Core-Lokts are about as classic a cartridge as you’ll find, not the least because they’re already quite affordable. In this 7mm Rem. Mag., you’re getting the classic Core-Lokt bullets in 150-grain. At 13% off, you’re paying $50 for a box of 20, $2.50/round.

Federal’s Terminal Ascent bullets are a standout, with flat trajectories, nice long range accuracy, and a polymer tip for expansion at lower velocities. Right now, a box of 20 is on sale for $46.99, putting you at $2.35 a round, which is significantly cheaper than even buying a 200-round case.
Rimfire Ammo
