Need .45 ACP for a couple upcoming classes

[shftn6]

I need some advice from you seasoned ammo buyers, especially in the current ammo climate.
I have a couple pistol courses coming up, and I've decided I need about 1000 rounds to cover the next few months. I don't have the time or the patience to do the "Walmart 2 Box Shuffle" for weeks to get what I need. I've been able to find 1000 rds of Federal 230 gr FMJ for about $385 online. I'll have postage on top of that of course. Is this the best way to pick up the ammo I need? I noticed Bradis had some decent priced .45 ACP a couple of weeks ago, but I didn't pay close enough attention at the time. Will they sell larger amounts like this, and are their prices at least in the ballpark? Any other local sources you might recommend? Thanks!

I have purchased WWB from Bradis in 500 rd cases. I think it was around $200, but that was last summer. Been thinking about another purchase soon myself. I haven't found found much online more reasonably priced.

Just checked, Wideners Reloading and Shooting supplies has Blazer aluminum cased 230 gr FMJ for $310/1000.

Get a reloader and components... you'll be less affected by ammo shortages and will save money.

Widener's has both CCI Blazer 230 grain .45 acp and Tula 230 grain .45 acp for $310 per 1000 rounds and Speer Lawman for $340 per 1000.

I have ordered a lot of ammo from Widener's over the years and always received the my shipments promptly.
