How To Find Acceptable Frontsight Ammo

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.

Front Sight Firearms was started in 2011 because Russel May, the man who owns the company noticed that the cost of weapons and ammunition was becoming far too expensive for the average citizen to purchase. The reason for this price increase was attributed to extraordinarily high demand and dwindling supplies of these items. The solution he found was to create a company that could purchase these items in large numbers in an effort to lower retail prices to his customers.

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.

The type of bullets allowed is strictly supervised as a safety measure. They will not allow any type of reloaded bullet to be used because reloaded rounds have a higher chance of exploding when used. This catastrophic firearm failure can be caused by the variable amount of powder in the reload, using a case that is the wrong size or a case that is weakened from prior use. The rule is that all rounds must be new, factory made bullets from acceptable manufacturers.

Another absolute is no steel jackets on the bullets because they damage the targets too much. They highly recommend that participants test their ammunition with a magnet prior to purchase. They also require that the bullets you do bring be metal jacketed and although they do not accept lead bullets they will accept metal jacketed lead bullets.

Acceptable bullet manufacturers include Remington, Winchester Federal Corbon and Speer. All of these brands can be purchased in gun shops and shooting supply locations nationwide. The problem most attendees are confronted with is transporting the ammunition to the course location. The extra weight costs if using commercial airlines can be phenomenal. Even air freight is expensive and there is a problem of storage if it arrives ahead of the customer.

Another option is to purchase the ammunition you need after you arrive from other retail sites but many times the amount needed may be difficult to accumulate. Many clients purchase the ammunition needed and have it shipped to their hotel for storage under their name.

This company offers high quality weapons, ammunition and accessories at the lowest possible costs to their customers. This has been their goal since the inception of the business and they have made great strides toward reaching their objective.
