I think it was Fathers Day, Cabellas had a sale PLUS they had free shipping. I bought 10 cases at roughly $55 a pop, couldn't beat that deal.

 

Still, thanks for checking Drez

Id be in on 2 cases for clays..

Gringo, I looked back in this thread and couldn't find anything but I feel like you said somewhere that you get cases for like 50 or 60 bucks. Is this true or am I mistaken? If it is true, where and could we get any type of discount for ordering 30-40 cases?

 

PM me if you want.

Well I got a PM from a forum member and he suggested trying Heritage Guild. I have my own feelings about that place, and they are not good, but since this is for a group of us (not just me), I put that aside and called them.

 

They suggested I talk to Matt at their Easton location as he does all the ordering.

 

I spoke with another employee at Easton because Matt wasn't there, and he said to try back tomorrow. I said ok cool no problem, and if he could tell me at least what a box of 12ga birdshot goes for there. He said $15. FIFTEEN DOLLARS. So it looks like, unless they can take more than 50% off for a pallet price, Heritage is out.

 

So far, the best price is Walt at Hackettstown is estimating it would be $60 a case. Sportsmans Rendezvous is at about $62 and change. I still want to talk to Jim, and I have a few other places to call as well.

My FFL is in Florida for the winter, lucky him! I can't get a price on a pallet until he returns in a few months, sorry Drez. If you want to try this again in the springtime let me know.

In looking around Cabelas, I see the price for the Pink, and Red/white/Blue shotgun ammo went up to $64.99 from $59.99 in the last two days and Estate has gone up to $64.99 also.

 

Prices are still creeping up................

Drez, PM sent...

Well, RobertJames was nice enough to check out what his local shop could offer us. They said for a 50 case buy of Federal Ultra Clay's, it would be approximately $54. A pallet of Estate is 75 cases and is $55 per case.

 

I know everyone expressed A TON of interest, but in my experience of group buys, people tend to say they will take a large amount of items and then when the time comes to pay up front, whatever reasons come into play and then they decrease their "want" substantially.

 

I'm going to talk to the owner and see if he can still give us a good price but do 35-40 cases instead of 50. I feel that is still a decent amount and I think it could be reached a bit more easily versus 50 or 70 cases. As of right now, it may be better to just order a bunch of cases versus a pallet.

 

This shop is located in/near Andover, NJ...roughly 1 hour north of Clinton WMA. If you have a pick up and would be willing to drive there to pick the order up, please post on here or PM me. We could all throw in a few extra bucks and cover your fuel round trip for helping us out.

 

So far, these are the best prices I have seen yet. I'm still waiting on Matt from Heritage Guild Easton so I will post up what he says when I hear from him via email.

 

This is not definite. I am just posting up some more info relative to how I/we are doing with gathering information.

Thank you or the update!

these would go a lot smoother if there was a "money man" that would collect the money before hand and then order the ammo. Dealers love cash, especially lots of it.

 

And I'm sure we can find someone trust worthy enough to handle this, but not Recessed Filter.

I'm in for 2 maybe 3 cases if the price is good enough, this is all dependent on location of pick up tho.

Is it simon peter or yoj sports i live 10 mins from both i and i think if i take the rear seats ot of my rav i could fit them in i fit a lazyboy in there

What's the specs on the ammo?

We aren't close to that step yet. The only way group buys work is with money upfront, that's a given. But first we need to figure out what is going on and all the details of if and who we choose to buy from, case numbers, prices, pick up, etc.

 

I would be fine with taking in the money for this, but that's a few steps from now.

Simon Peter. If we get 35 cases, that's roughly 4ft W x 3ft L x 1 foot high...if my math is correct? And I am no math genius haha. With that said, it may fit in your RAV but weight could be an issue...

What's the specs on the ammo?

 

I need to talk to the owner tomorrow, but it will be 12ga, 2-3/4in, 1-1/8oz and either #7.5 or #8. Pretty much just a standard #7.5/8 load.

I can help transport it too. Between Blizzard Demon and I we should be able to get it down to Clinton. But first things first.

Works for me when the time comes

Ok cool. Well at least we have two volunteers for transportation, so that step is done, which is an important one nonetheless.

I have a dump truck with a forklift attached I can pick up like 10 pallets

I'm in for 2 cases as well and if someone is driving back down to the Monmouth Co area or in the vicinity I will have no problem throwing you some gas money

Light target loads? FPS?

So is $55 the best price you are getting? Estate is made by Federal or so I have been told. Any chance of getting it to $50 a case and whats the out the door price?

 

btw, I was serious when I said I would take 10 flats myself. That wasn't a mistake, so getting to 75 shouldn't be that hard.

Count me in for two cases.

If you need it I have a van with the back two seat removed so could probably take it all in one shot.

I am about 15 minutes from Clinton, so the shot up to the North is not a problem.

Andres, would you be willing to be the "money man"? It would make people put up or shut up. No offense gentlemen. I'd be in for a case if this is a done deal.

I'd be good if it's only going to be a 12GA buy with 2 case's if we can do a relay to around the Newark airport area.

 

Aslo if that's workable, I can do the relay to the Sayreville area for point further south. Not sure how much would be coming down my way and south, but I can drive the Escape to work and load it up rather than my daily driver that wouldn't fut as much.

 

Also If that's all workable, I'm ready, and good with money for my order as soon as it's an offical group buy.

 

Also, if the price could be worked out lower than the 50 somthing a case, I'd probably up my order..

Not sure what the 'For Sale Section' rules are, but could we put a link in there to this thread? I'm thinking that section gets more views.

I have compiled a summary of the posts here. We are at 85 cases so far.

I just spoke with Ed and he was going to give Rich my message and have him call me back so we can talk specs about the ammo and prices.

 

I went through the last few pages and counted 51 cases. That 51 cases is without podmannj's "6-8 cases depending on location" and lowslowmiata's "multiple cases" and bry@n's possibly 10 cases. So depending on how many they want, it could be anywhere from 60-80 cases.

 

Now I am enjoying organizing this and getting it done, but people from far away (way south jersey or way north jersey) are going to have to figure out how they are getting their cases preferably ahead of time. This aspect is very important as it could cause an future issue such as someone buying 3 cases from [example] Cape May and then once the shipment arrives, they say they cannot make it up here or whatever and want a refund. I do NOT want something like that occurring. With that said, there will be no refunds. I'm not trying to be a dick, just stern. My responsibilities are getting this together, details on ammo and prices, collecting and paying money, but I am not going to be driving all over NJ trying to deliver cases, sorry. Getting your ammo is your responsibility.

 

So if you live far away, figure out how you're going to get your ammo. I would not mind driving to Newark to give Harry some ammo, or if someone could meet me near Perth Amboy/Driscoll Bridge area to meet someone who can then transport the ammo farther down the shore. And I am sure one or two guys can take more ammo up north with them

 

Would anyone be willing to meet me in that area (perth/driscoll) and then transport the ammo farther down the shore to the guys down south?

 

And if anyone can bring ammo farther up north, please post up if you can.

Either regular target loads or light, probably light, whatever can be offered cheaper. Unsure of FPS, I will be getting more details in about an hour.

$53.50 is actually the best price so far for the Federal Ultra Clay shells. That's a pretty good price IMO. In terms of OTD price, I am unsure of..that is something that I will be talking to Rich about hopefully this morning.

 

Andres, would you be willing to be the "money man"? It would make people put up or shut up. No offense gentlemen. I'd be in for a case if this is a done deal.

 

Yeah, I would be willing to take that responsibility. I started this thread with the intention of organizing everything and I agree, money up front or you're not getting ammo..sorry.

At least we have you to do a relay between here and a little farther south.

 

Not sure what the 'For Sale Section' rules are, but could we put a link in there to this thread? I'm thinking that section gets more views.

 

Yeah, I'm planning to make a thread in there as soon as we figure out the details and get everything close to making this an official group buy.

dup

Drez, I live in Sayreville and the wife owns a travel agency in Perth Amboy right on Smith Street, so I sure could meet you there if it was more convenient.

 

Depending on timing and what matches I will be shooting, I could always meet people at OBRPC or CJRPC at a match or at my place in Sayreville.

 

Glad to help where I can and when I can dude..
