I always try to buy in bulk, but problem has been when I have the extra ammo, I end up at the range using it. So I never have a bulk surplus. But I have found that buying in bulk will save you money, one club I belonged to did that about 15 years ago, bought a couple skids of Remington 12GA 2 3/4" #8 Target Loads for about 3/4 the price. Sold them to the members at cost, limit was 4 cases per member at the time. If I remember right, a case was under $20.00 each from the club, and to buy it at Walmart, it would cost $28.00 a case. Only problem was we were only able to do it once, mainly because of new regulations on ammunition storage and the passage of the Assault Weapons Bill, which fortunately was not signed back into law.

Buying in bulk is good. My HK with the fluted chamber butchered my brass, so I bought a bunch of FN NATO surplus. They were in 200 round "battle packs" of impervious plastic. They were berdan, so a pain to try to reload, but I couldn't reload much of the HK stuff anyway, and I got them at a decent price. Those packs have a long, long shelf life. Even after they were stored 30 years before I bought them.
Other stuff I put in (newer) .50 cal. ammo cans with a big renewable desi-bag. (Its the kind you pull out every year and bake for a while to renew). I have ammo that's fine after 20 years stored like that.
