Use these pointers as you build your supply:
Browse the full ammunition catalog online or stop by the gun shop in Wauneta, Nebraska to handle boxes in person and talk through load selection with someone who shoots locally. Double 9 Firearms serves customers in the nearby cities of Imperial, McCook, and Ogallala, keeping a working inventory built around what hunters, defenders, and competitive shooters across southwest Nebraska actually use.
Federal law requires ammunition buyers to be at least 18 for rifle and shotgun cartridges and 21 for handgun cartridges, and Nebraska follows those age thresholds without imposing additional state-level permits or registration on ammunition purchases. Buyers prohibited under federal law from possessing firearms are equally prohibited from possessing ammunition, so confirm eligibility before placing an order. Nebraska Game and Parks Commission regulations may apply when discharging certain loads during specific hunting seasons or on designated lands.
Transport ammunition in original packaging or a dedicated container, kept separate from loaded firearms during travel whenever practical, and store reserves in a climate-controlled area away from heat sources and solvents. For questions about availability, special-order calibers, or bulk pricing, contact the shop directly and the team will help match your needs to current stock.
Grain refers to the weight of the projectile itself, with one grain equal to 1/7000th of a pound. Heavier grain bullets generally retain energy at distance, while lighter grain bullets often deliver flatter trajectories at typical ranges.
Full metal jacket (FMJ) rounds feature a lead core fully encased in copper or brass and are typically used for range practice and training. Jacketed hollow point (JHP) rounds have an exposed cavity at the tip designed to expand on impact, making them the standard choice for personal defense.
Only firearms specifically rated by the manufacturer for +P pressures should be used with +P loads, since these cartridges generate higher chamber pressures than standard SAAMI specifications. Check your owner's manual or the slide markings before loading +P rounds.
Keep ammunition in a cool, dry location with stable temperature and low humidity, ideally in sealed containers with desiccant packs. Nebraska's wide temperature swings between hot summers and cold winters make stable indoor storage particularly important for long-term reliability.
Most modern firearms can safely fire steel-cased ammunition, though some manufacturers advise against it for warranty reasons or due to harder primers and bimetal jackets that may accelerate wear. Always consult your firearm's owner's manual before extended use.
Upland hunters commonly use lead shot in sizes 6 through 8 for birds like pheasant, quail, and dove. Waterfowl hunters are required to use non-toxic shot such as steel, bismuth, or tungsten, typically in sizes BB through 4 depending on the species.
Rimfire cartridges, particularly .22 LR, are sensitive to chamber dimensions, barrel harmonics, and bullet seating, so the same load can produce different group sizes in different firearms. Many shooters test several brands to find the load their specific firearm prefers.
Nebraska allows direct shipment of ammunition to residential addresses for buyers who meet federal age requirements, with no state permit required for ammunition purchases. Some carriers and retailers may apply their own restrictions, so confirm shipping policies at checkout.
