AMMO+ Day is live!
From today (Wednesday, September 17) through Sunday, September 21, case prices across the store get cut — and AMMO+ members stack an extra 10%+ on top of every one of them. Across the event the deepest cuts run to roughly 50% off, and the membership itself is half price.
We’ve gone through every deal in the sale, did the per-round math, checked the review database, and picked only the ones we’d spend our own money on. These deals are stacked deep. Some are limited to what’s on the shelf. All of them are while-supplies-last.
BONUS: AMMO+ membership is 50% off during the sale — $49.99/yr instead of $99. On most cases below, the member-only extra discount on a SINGLE case is bigger than the membership itself. Save bigger by buying the membership first (or with your purchase at checkout)!
Check These Deals Out Before They’re Gone!
Every product in this post shows three prices: Regular, the AMMO+ Day sale price everyone gets, and the AMMO+ member price that stacks on top. These four deals are where we’d start:
Join AMMO+ for $49.99 (regularly $99) before you check out — every bold member price in this article unlocks the moment you do, for non-members, bulk cases already ship free.
How the Member Stacking Works
No riddles, no coupon codes:
- The sale price is for everyone. No membership required — the middle price on every deal below is yours just for showing up this week.
- AMMO+ members stack an extra discount on top — an additional 10%+ off the sale price, product by product. The exact member price is printed on every deal in this post, so you never have to do the math at checkout.
- The membership is half off during the sale: $49.99/yr, regularly $99. Join here.
Here’s what that looks like on today’s headliner:
| Day 1 headliner: Federal HST 9mm (P9HST1), 1,000-round case | |
|---|---|
| Regular price | $699.80 |
| AMMO+ Day sale price (everyone gets this) | $550.00 |
| AMMO+ member price (extra 10% off) | $495.00 |
| Member-only extra savings on this ONE case | $55.00 |
| AMMO+ membership, at 50% off this week | $49.99 |
Read that again: the membership costs $49.99 and immediately hands you $55.00 back on a single case — it pays for itself before your first order ships, on top of the $204.80 total that case is under regular price. Every case after that is pure gravy, all year.
Our Day 1 Top Picks
In our order of “buy this first” — with verbatim reviews from the people who already own it.
Prices checked at time of writing; everything is while supplies last.
Federal Premium Law Enforcement HST 9mm Ammo 124 Grain Jacketed Hollow Point – P9HST1 — The Headliner: Best 9mm Defense Deal of the Sale (29.3% Off)
| Manufacturer | Federal |
| Caliber | 9mm Luger |
| Grain | 124 |
| Muzzle Velocity | 1,150 fps |
| Unit & Case Config | Box of 50 × 20 (1,000-rd case) |
| Regular Price | $699.80 |
| Sale Price | $550.00 |
| AMMO+ Member Price | $495.00 |
| You Save | $204.80 (29.3%) |
This is the load we called the modern duty-ammo benchmark in our 9mm vs 45 ACP deep-dive, and 2,896 verified buyers rate it 4.90/5. A full case of premium HST under fifty cents a round is the single best defensive-ammo deal in this sale — this is the one to build the week around.
“This is my standard defensive ammo for my EDC pistols. Runs perfect through my M&P Shield 2.0 Performance Center 4” and also through my Shield Plus Carry Comp. Recoil is mild. Plenty accurate at the range. Reasonably priced through Target Sports.”
— Dustin B., verified buyer
“You get what you pay for, so the saying goes… this ammo is the best of the best. Have shot this through a Walther PPQ, H & K VP9 and VP9SK, Springfield XD 3.8, and CZ Scorpion 3+ Carbine, just flawless, accurate, and clean.”
— Fernando L., verified buyer
And because we quote customers verbatim even when it stings — here’s a 3-star take:
“Experienced several failure to feed issues. Likely due to the Taurus G3 feed ramp issues. Other than that, seems like a quality product. Target USA service was great and my order arrived on time, packaged well, and was exactly what I ordered.”
— James G., verified buyer
That’s 1 lukewarm feed-ramp story against thousands of clean runs — exactly why we show you the whole database and not just the highlight reel.

| Regular Price | $799.80 |
| Sale Price | $599.00 |
| AMMO+ Member Price | $539.10 |
| You Save | $260.70 (32.6%) |
No deal on Day 1 puts more actual dollars back in your pocket: $260.70 off a case of the JHP that’s ridden in more duty holsters than almost anything else. Buyers rate it 4.91/5 across 278 reviews, and the big slow 230-grainer is a natural for suppressed 45s, too.
“Very accurate at self defense distances and did not have an issue with firing, feeding, or ejection. Use it for when I carry my .45. also use the 9mm version as well and no issue with those either.”
— Joseph B., verified buyer
“Speer Gold Dot ammo performed well with no issues. However when I opened the gun to clean it , it was very dirty. I also shot Armscor at the same time so I’m not sure which one caused all the residual powder inside the gun. This was only after 100 rounds.”
— Bernerd B., verified buyer

Federal Law Enforcement 40 S&W Ammo 165 Grain HST Jacketed Hollow Point – P40HST3 — The 40 S&W Deal Nobody Should Sleep On (28.8% Off)

| Sale Price | $459.00 |
| AMMO+ Member Price | $413.10 |
| You Save | $166.70 (28.8%) |
The 40 crowd gets ignored in every sale — not this one. Same HST pedigree as the headliner, 4.87/5 across 277 reviews, and a member case price that works out to about 41 cents a round for genuine duty ammo.
“The best 40 defense available at a great price. Reliable! Every shot goes bang and has never jammed on me after shooting around 10,000 rounds.”
— Rick B., verified buyer
“Clean, consistent, easily cloverleafs (occasional one-holes) for me at 50ft; more than a smidge spendy, but what isn’t right now.”
— Zane B., verified buyer
Zane called it “a smidge spendy” — that’s what this week is for.
This is the part where we remind you: the three cases above carry $55.00, $59.90, and $45.90 in member-only extra savings. Any ONE of them out-earns the $49.99 AMMO+ membership. All three together is $160.80 you’re leaving on the table without it.

4.92/5 across 676 reviews — the best performance rating of anything in this post. Big-bore HST expands like a manhole cover, runs subsonic by design, and $210.90 off a case is the cheapest we can remember it feeling.
“My go to carry ammo/defense HST ammo for my Springfield 1911. I’ve have no failures so far and have shot 200 rounds off this through it after 300 rounds of normal FMJ. I’ll trust my life to anything Federal makes” – D’andre P.
“The best of the best in .45 ACP ammo. Not cheap (anywhere) but you get what you pay for! Moderate and manageable recoil out of my Sig and Glock. Perfect, clean, A+, 5-star, self-defense ammo from Federal.”

“Very good NATO 5.56 ammo for the price. Shot consistently well and not a single FTF or FTE occured. I used a hardened 3/4” piece of tempered steel for a target at 100 yards and was surprised to see about 75% penetration. I will definitely buy again.”
— Carlos A., verified buyer
“5.56 green tip ammo runs reliably and offers solid penetration performance, especially for range training and longer-distance shooting. Consistent accuracy, dependable cycling, and military-style performance make it a great option for AR-platform rifles.”

The lowest buy-in of the day: a 500-round case of brass-cased 223 Remington that 1,034 buyers rate 4.80/5. American Eagle is the load ARs get broken in on, and at the member price it’s about 45 cents a round.
“Shipping was fast, with discrete outer box. Ammunition performance: 2 minutes, out to 300 yards, fired from 0.2 minute rifle. Cases are the appropriate length: trimming not required. Primer pockets are crimped. With the rebate, this is an excellent value.”
— John H., verified buyer
“I finally purchased an AR in .223 and needed some ammo for it. After reviewing your sight the price of the Amrican Eagle 55gr FMJ ammo was the lowest I have seen it. It shot well and was fairly accurate, 1 to 1 and 1/2 ” groups at 100 yards.”
— Gene W., verified buyer

CCI Mini-Mag 22 Long Rifle Ammo 40 Grain Copper Plated Round Nose – 3050CC — The Member Exclusive: 5,000 Rounds Under a Dime Each

| Sale Price | — (member-exclusive deal) |
| AMMO+ Member Price | $495.00 |
| You Save | $55.00 (10.0%) |
This one’s different: there’s no public sale price — the discount belongs entirely to AMMO+ members, who get a 5,000-round case of the most trusted 22 LR ever made at 9.9 cents a round. One honesty note: this deal is limited to the inventory on hand, when it’s gone, it’s gone for the sale. 2,697 reviews, 4.84/5.
“Most reliable .22LR I have found, others will cause stove pipes, misfeeds, feed ramp jams. This feeds and ejects right every time. Copper plating cuts down on lead in the barrel. Hi Muzzle Velocity means more accuracy and more consistent cycling of the action!”
— Richard A., verified buyer
“Best 22LR out there and Target Sports is the only place that has it in a value pack exclusive! Mini Mags run flawlessly thru multiple brands of 22’s, even the Colt M4. Shoots clean and rare misfire or eject issue like other brands of 22 LR.”
— Jeffrey S., verified buyer
The honest 3-star, verbatim as always:
“A few more duds than in days past, got better reliability and performance out of the CCI standard velocity, most mini mags work which means when they do they will cycle finicky semi-auto rifles and handguns”
— Don P., verified buyer
Rimfire is rimfire — even the king throws the occasional dud. 2,697 reviewers still put it at the top of the class.

“This ammo is great for the range. I’ve read comments about it being dirty but I shot 300rounds of this thru my x5 legion and 200 rounds of American eagle 124 with my Canik TTI and I was shocked at how mich cleaner the CCI was. Great stuff and price is right.”

“This buckshot is awesome! Approximately 6” group @ 30yd from my 590a1. Only downfall is occasional 9th pellet flyer – if you need absolute consistency and tightness, it may be wise to spend a little extra on the 8 pellet version.”
— Kenneth S., verified buyer
“Plenty of recoil to work the action of any semi-auto shotgun, but easily manageable. Groups inside of 15” at 25 yards. It’s the best load available for self-defense. The price is right and free shipping “can’t be beat.””
— Ralph L., verified buyer
Three-quarters through. Still on the fence about AMMO+ at $49.99? The buckshot above saves members an extra $24.75 a case — pair it with any HST case in this post and the membership has paid for itself twice before Thursday.

Full transparency: at 4.49/5 across 365 reviews, this is the lowest-rated load in today’s dozen — steel case polarizes people, and it’s not match ammo. It’s also 300 Blackout at about 43 cents a round, which is why its buyers keep buying it. Training fuel, priced like it.
“It’s steel, but it functions great. I’ve run through several hundred rounds with my PSA 300 BLK pistol build. So far no malfunctions whatsoever.”
— Michael G., verified buyer
“Great ammo for the range, a bit rough on the mags and kind of tacky because of the poly. But shoots well cycles great, not the most accurate stuff but perfect for plinking”

Five Days. Finite Pallets.
You have five days — but inventory doesn’t care about your schedule. Everything above is while-supplies-last. When a deal sells through, it doesn’t come back at these numbers for the rest of the sale.
The other reason not to wait until Sunday: the sale rolls out all week.
AMMO+ Day FAQ: The Fine Print, Minus the Fine Print
AMMO+ Day is Target Sports USA’s five-day sale event, running Wednesday, September 17 through Sunday, September 21, 2026. Case prices are cut storewide, AMMO+ members stack an extra discount on top, and the AMMO+ membership itself is 50% off.
No. The sale price on every deal is for everyone. AMMO+ members stack an additional member-only discount on top of it — both prices are printed on every product above.
$49.99 for the year during the sale — regularly $99. On most cases in this post, the member-only extra savings on one case exceeds the $49.99 membership.
Simple multiplication, done for you: the member discount (an extra 10%+, product by product) comes off the sale price, not the regular price. Example: HST 9mm is $699.80 regular → $550.00 sale for everyone → $495.00 for members.
Yes — case and bulk quantities ship free, sale or no sale. Every case in this article qualifies.
Through Sunday, September 21 — the last full day. Each day of the sale features a different lineup, so the best move is checking back daily.
Everything is while supplies last. Some deals are stacked deep, some are limited to inventory on hand (the Mini-Mag 22 LR case above is one), and availability notes in this post are accurate at time of writing.
Stock Up While You Can
In my opinion, if you buy one thing today, make it the HST 9mm case — $495.00 for members is the kind of number you screenshot.
If you buy two, add the 34%-off 00 buck. And whatever you buy, do the $49.99 math first: one case pays for the membership, and the membership discounts every case after it — today and for the next four days.
