Local WallyWorld Ammo Gone...??? Well, it looks like the rumors about wallyworld might be true. Somewhere on one of the forums I read all urban WW stores will no longer carry ammo after the first of the year. So I'm doin' my regular Sunday stop at the ammo counter and they are down to a just few boxes of S&W .40, a couple of boxes of some 9mm and that's all folks. I asked the counter guy WTF is goin' on and he says "Not sure, gotta talk to the dept. manager and he's off till Monday" Fortunately, there were 5 boxes of Federal Automatch .22 LR Bulk Pack (325 rds. ea.) My autoloaders love that roundnosed stuff. I snapped it up just because this might be the last WW ammo to be had...I will report back w/ any future info. Anyone else experience anything similar...??? Could this be the end of WallyWorld ammo...Lets hope not...!!!

Re: Local WallyWorld Ammo Gone...??? I stocked up again yesterday. My local Wally is still stocked.

low_five | 01-04-2009 02:53 PM
Re: Local WallyWorld Ammo Gone...??? my walmart has a whole wall of ammo, at very high marked up prices. 19 dollars for 20 rounds of 7.62x39 21 dollars for 20 rounds of 308 etc.

Re: Local WallyWorld Ammo Gone...??? One of my local stores was down to about 25% capacity in their case. I asked if the lack of stock was due to sales, or were they not restocking? She told me sales. Don't know if I believe her.

I honestly don't think the clerks are that well informed, they can tell you if they are selling a lot, but the odds of them knowing that corporate cancelled ammo sales is slim until they start taking the signs down they prolly don't know jack. My store still carries ammo, but they are pretty much bought out the day it comes in, I can get one of the guys to hold it for me, but the other two that work there won't do it.

Re: Local WallyWorld Ammo Gone...??? you guys are nuts Wally values the god mighty dollar higher then any company Ammo is very profitable the last company to carry ammo in the world will be wally. if there is no school near by and no state laws against selling ammo wal-mart will have it, sell it. and make a hell of a lot of money from having it and selling. next thing you will tell me is they won't accept food stamps

Not Really........Walton Family is Deep in the bed with High Level Gubbermint They will get a taxpayer rebate for all the "lost business" on ammo sales. They just wont put it that bluntly. That is if we find out at all. T

Wal-Mart stopped selling guns at most or all of its California stores. That meant low cost firearms became incredibly sparse in this state (Big 5 is one of the few discount stores that still sells guns). So, no, Wal-Mart does not look only at how much money they can collect.

Re: Local WallyWorld Ammo Gone...??? My Walmart has replaced ammo that I've cleaned them out of in the last couple days

angryhippy | 01-04-2009 08:27 PM
Re: Local WallyWorld Ammo Gone...??? The store near me is pretty well stocked. Had everything but 308 on my last visit.

ohioarmedneutrality | 01-04-2009 09:14 PM
Re: Local WallyWorld Ammo Gone...??? The Wallyworlds I go to usually have some ammunition on hand and what they don't have is usually restocked within a few days to a week.

MKS | 01-04-2009 10:06 PM
Re: Local WallyWorld Ammo Gone...??? Went to the Wallyworld near me (north Dallas) to pick up some .38/.357 and.22. They were completely out of .38 and .357 and only had a few boxes of .22, about 15 bucks w/tax. Looking at the shelves under the counter they didn't have much of anything else. A few boxes of .45 and .223 et al. I asked the lady if they were sold out or not restocking. She told me they were sold out and when they order they order a small amount.

Doge | 01-05-2009 11:33 AM
Re: Local WallyWorld Ammo Gone...??? NO .223 or 7.62 x 39 here either. In fact there was hardly any ammo at all. All I saw was .30 30 (which is good for me), a few .22 boxes, .40, and I think a case of .308.

Heimdhal | 01-05-2009 11:46 AM
Re: Local WallyWorld Ammo Gone...??? Walmart wont get rid of ammo. Then again, the ones near me go rid of their guns, and I didnt think theyd do that. Theres too much money in ammo, with their contracts through remington and winchester.

Drumblebum | 01-05-2009 11:54 AM
Re: Local WallyWorld Ammo Gone...??? Update: Three of the WM in SW Riverside county are running very low... I asked the counterperson at the second one I visited how their stock was doing (as I couldn't see much under the counter)... she said they were almost out... ...accompanied by an obvious knowing look, BTW. The third one was at about 50%. Take that FWIW.

Yes. To what extent, I'm not sure, but I know many calibers are Federal.

Re: Local WallyWorld Ammo Gone...??? I went 2 days ago to get ammo at Walmart. EDIT -- Here in Louisville. No 100 round boxes of the HP 9MM. All out. 1 box of 30-30 shells left, I bought those. Plenty of shotgun shells and 22's, but the other stuff was way sparse. I had to buy 50 rounds of 9MM FMJ since the the HP's were all gone. Weird.

voodoo1951 | 01-05-2009 07:27 PM
Re: Local WallyWorld Ammo Gone...??? Latest update: Just came back from talking to the sporting goods manager and he said that they have none in the warehouse in N. Carolina and supply is very tight to nonexistant. Pretty bad news considering I live in Florida...!!!

During gatherings and bar b ques etc, a buddy of mine always says to his wife "Show 'em what 10 inches looks like Honey", and his wife promptly holds her hands about 3 inches apart! I still laugh every time!

phideaux | 01-05-2009 08:31 PM
Re: Local WallyWorld Ammo Gone...??? I don't think the issue is ammo per se. For the last 6 months or so, the two Super-Waldo-Worlds closest to me have been low on stock on a lot of things. A lot of the grocery shelves are completely empty, some office supplies, some health products, hardware, etc. Waldo has the most efficient just-in-time delivery system of anybody on the planet, but I think they are just cutting it too close to the bone these days.

Big_Rob | 01-06-2009 11:14 AM
Re: Local WallyWorld Ammo Gone...??? Ive noticed significant ammo shortages at both the Wally Worlds I go to. Yeah they still have little amounts of pistol ammo, but any rifle ammo that's common (.223 or anything 7.62) is finito!

dimitri | 01-06-2009 12:22 PM
Re: Local WallyWorld Ammo Gone...??? Mine restocks the ammo I purchase, so I don't think it is a concerted effort by the corporation to stop carrying ammo. Dick's Sporting Goods has been low on everything too (and I don't think they're going to stop selling ammunition), a lot of retailers are keeping their stock way down due to the tough economy.

Re: Local WallyWorld Ammo Gone...??? Gander Mountain is almost entirely wiped out in my area. They still had a shelf full of their 12ga #8 and #9 for 6.50 and 9.50 respectively.

Ghost Recon | 01-06-2009 07:20 PM
Re: Local WallyWorld Ammo Gone...??? The local Walmart seems to not be restocking ammo. No .38, 380 or 22LR. The rest is slowly diminishing. I think this is it for my Walmart.

Re: Local WallyWorld Ammo Gone...??? I drive for a living and visit 6-8 Wal-Mart stores in North Florida, I always check the ammo and every single one of them is less than 50% in stock on ammo and guns. I have been trying to buy bricks of 550 .22lr for weeks now with no success.

Gander Mountain and Dick's Sporting Goods both stock that in my area; not Wal-Mart, though.

Are Gander's prices for bricks of 550 comparable to Wal-Mart? They are like 16 or 17 at Wal-Mart now.

SLV>GLD | 01-07-2009 09:29 PM
Re: Local WallyWorld Ammo Gone...??? I just noted the presence of the bricks at GM as that was not my focus in visiting. At Dick's they were a smidge higher in the 19-20 range but I was making use of the BOG3 deal that was running around here a couple months back so it was like free lead no matter how you sliced it. I do know that I did source my .380acp from Dick's over Wal-mart because the $1 increase in price was worth the dignity saved by not going into to Sam's Hell. The last visit to ChinaMart showed me that unless you are picking up the bargains you are better of shopping out your ammo because they were considerably higher than the rest on common calibers.

Re: Local WallyWorld Ammo Gone...??? Went by last night, they had one box .223 a few boxes of .40 and .45, no .308 and a handful of shotgun shells it was picked CLEAN.

Re: Local WallyWorld Ammo Gone...??? Well I am way up in Northern Minnesota and I went into Wally World tonight to see what all the fuss was about. They had Winchester .45 JHP 230 grain well stocked. I noticed a little bit of .223 and 7.62 x 39 as well. I saw they had plenty of shotgun rounds in stock as well. If I can actually get some more FRN's in hand I plan on clearing out the rest of their .45 because the prices beat a lot of the online places.

californiaprospector | 01-11-2009 10:39 PM
Re: Local WallyWorld Ammo Gone...??? Checked out local Wal-Mart last night. Almost nothing in pistol or rifle rounds. No 9mm at all. The department man said it was like this at all Wal-Marts.

MOD1 | 01-12-2009 12:57 AM
Re: Local WallyWorld Ammo Gone...??? Same condition here. Checked the local WalMart 01/10/09 and the shelves behind the counter were almost bare. The salesperson didn't seem too knowledgeable while dealing with other customers so I didn't bother to ask any questions about future deliveries. I'm fairly long on most centerfire ammo, but really short on .22 RF. I'll continue to shop around. Best of luck to all GIMers looking for ammo. Take care, Mod1

CoinHunter53562 | 01-12-2009 01:31 AM
Re: Local WallyWorld Ammo Gone...??? I'll check the local WW's tomorrow. I have thrown this question out there before in other threads but dont remember seeing a concrete answer. Can GIMers buy and sell ammo on here without any ramifications for shipping ammo across state lines? In other words, do you have to be a FFL to sell or ship ammo, even at cost?

graspAU | 01-12-2009 11:26 AM
Re: Local WallyWorld Ammo Gone...??? Just went to the Super Walmart this morning to check it out. 3/4 of the shelves were bare. 1 box of 9mm fmj. I needed 45 ACP. They had on box of CCI Blazer FMJ 230gr and one box of Winchester JHP 230gr. I took them both. No buckshot at all. Not a single bulk pack of any caliber. Really freaky considering I would go there all the time last year and they always had lots of bulk packs of everthing.

dimitri | 01-12-2009 11:35 AM
Re: Local WallyWorld Ammo Gone...??? I am not really concerned about any shady stuff going on here. A lot of stores are keeping their supply bare due to the economy - I think Walmart just (or is about to) lay off a lot of their staff. My Walmart restocks the stuff that I clean them out of, and this is most likely due to the fact that they realize these items are moving. Go to your Walmart and buy the stuff that you shoot and see if it gets restocked. I see bare shelves in certain calibers but the inventory is the same on those items every time I go in - it looks like nobody is buying it. I wouldn't want to buy more stock of something that I know is not selling either.

JJ_ | 01-12-2009 11:47 AM
Re: Local WallyWorld Ammo Gone...??? This weekend, I checked out mine- Looks like they raided the ammo locker in the back - a lot of older style and worn out packaging had been stocked in the case.. the old price tags torn off and no new labees on them - just shelf labels. I cleaned out their 9mm 135 gr Hydrashocks... - scored 5 more boxes for 12.50 a box again..:565: lots of .303 British stocked too:confused_ma:

As TA would say: "Bing, Bing, Bing, we have a winner". Just because the shelf has no stock on it, do not assume there is none in the store. I know for a fact, that the local sporting goods manager does not put some stuff on the shelf, it is held back for those he knows and likes. Ask the clerk on duty to scan the tag for the item that you are looking for and it will tell if they happen to have it in the "cage" out back or not. When they tell you, "all the stock is out on the shelf", just ask them to humour you, they will also be able to tell you when and if it was reordered and when it is scheduled to land there. IF it is available in their warehouse, they will even order product in for you. Don't be shy, you have to ask. If you get nowhere with the guys and or gals on the counter with ordering product (it may be beyond their abilities), ask them to page the manager on duty to your area, he should be able to order what it is that you want, it takes them seconds to do it. Good luck, I hope you will be pleasantly surprised.

Ghost Recon | 01-12-2009 01:30 PM
Re: Local WallyWorld Ammo Gone...??? The other day I asked a clerk what was going on. She says they are selling off all remaining stock and not getting any more in. At this store anyway. Don't know about the rest.

That fits with the rumor circulating that Wal-Mart will not be selling ammo after January. FWIW, the local Gander Mountain is restocking the shelves juts today after the Christmas rush. they were putting up mostly shotgun loads today. I was told the big rifle rounds would be in on Wednesday. The still had brick after brick of .223 and .308 which you people seem to swear cannot be had. I did note that all "economy" rounds were either gone or seriously depleted with the bigger ticket items still sitting on the shelf. Sorry to keep posting about non-Wal-Mart stuff but I just don't go there.

Re: Local WallyWorld Ammo Gone...??? Just got back from WW and they still don't have nuttin'...I did happen to see 3 boxes of Blazer Brass .45 ACP that I Quickly Snatched...!!! We will see how this plays out but I sure hope they keep selling ammo cause you can't beat the prices on certain flavors like WWB and Federal Automatch...VD51

Went to a total of 4 WW's today. ( yes the cultural tour it was ) Every ammunition case was almost bare. One place still had a decent amount of 9mm. I also asked if they were gonna stop selling ammunition. One clerk said they were " waiting" for the warehouse to bring them some more but the warehouse was " waiting " for the distribution line to bring it in. Interesting I thought. Regards, Haystackneedle

Captain Morgan | 01-12-2009 08:38 PM
Re: Local WallyWorld Ammo Gone...??? Wow...just hit my WW here in MI...the cupboards where completely bare except for some game loads. No 9mm or 7.62x39 to be had...at all.

Re: Local WallyWorld Ammo Gone...??? I've been to three different Wal-Marts the last week. At one, I bought a 100 round box of 9mm Winchester. The others had PLENTY of ammo and while I was at the first one the guy that worked there was making a list of things to order.

It would be hilarious if WW stock levels of ammo came back up after the "inauguration". If I were running that store and didn't mind being an SOB I might market to the political fear factor to make a little extra money. Just thinking out loud.

Re: Local WallyWorld Ammo Gone...??? I ususally refrain from specualtive talk or what I percieve to be hype until there is an obvious problem. This happened in silver not long ago and I watched it play out slowly but surely until all local sources of silver were dryed out. The Walmart's in the Hampton Roads area of Virginia had a decent stock until about 3 weeks ago, and it seems to be all but dired up now. Last night I went to WW they had no: .22 lr .223 .380 .38 SPC .357 Mag .308 30.06 9mm .40 S&W .45 ACP They had two boxes of Remington CoreLokt in 7mm Mag which I bought, and they had some .357 Sig which I had not use for. They also seemed to have an ok supply of 12 gauge shot shells, but even they were starting to thin out. Lets hope this is nothing more than a buying frenzy, and nothing sinsiter is in the works. The clerck told me that Walmart stores do not order directly from the factory, and they can only get what is at the distrobution center. Apparently the distro center in Charlotte NC is running dry, and they can not order what the distro center does not have.

Re: Local WallyWorld Ammo Gone...??? I used to live right near Columbine High School in Colorado. Within a few weeks after that sad event, the Waldo-Mart closest to Columbine got rid of the entire firearms dept. About a year ago they built a new jumbo Super-Waldo-World about 5 miles from Columbine. That place has the largest firearms dept I've seen outside of a Dick's or Sportsman's Warehouse, etc. Anyway, I went into that new Waldo-World yesterday, and the place was stocked to the gills. I only picked up some shotgun shells and some cleaner, but the guy in line in front of me bought about 25 boxes of assorted ammo. $450 and change he spent. He was talking to the clerk and he said that he "worked in private security" and that he was "just stocking up while the prices are good." The clerk said, yeah, lots of people are doing the same.

Re: Local WallyWorld Ammo Gone...??? I some time think my life is boring but it does not compare to you guys that go to different Walmarts looking for ammo. pay the little extra and buy from the gun shop mine charges $3 more for a box of a 100 that means $30 for a 1000 rounds I will pay $50 not to go to walmart I guess after all I do have a life compare to some other people.:565:

Just hit two WMs near me after I picked up my new battle rifle (I'll post pics soon)... First guy said they can't get any from the distribution center, but he apparently didn't know why...they only had a few boxes (325 rds) of .22 lr, but they were overpriced so I passed. Did pick up a 100 rd box of .223 for about 40 bucks though, so that was cool. The second one had maybe six 550 boxes of Remington .22 lr, so I got a few of those. A lady there was on the phone to someone telling them she didn't understand why there was little ammo in the case. I quickly shared my thoughts on the subject with her... she looked like she might cry and asked me where else to buy if they stopped selling, as she had never purchased ammo anywhere else. Told her she might look online for the best deals and left it at that. Looks to me like a major blow to easy ammo procurement is nigh... :452::signs14:

Re: Local WallyWorld Ammo Gone...??? I visited two Wallyworld's today in western Ohio. Didn't have every caliber, but still had a decent selection. One had about 20 boxes of the 100-round bulk 9 mm. I was able to talk to the sporting goods guy there. He said that any ammo shortage was a distribution/warehouse problem. He did hint that the prices might go up (again) in the near future however.

igorthesmall | 01-16-2009 08:59 PM
Re: Local WallyWorld Ammo Gone...??? I just came from a Wallyworld in Columbus. They were out of 7.62 x 39, and .308, which were the calibers that I needed. They have been out of those for months. They did have some .223, probably 500 rounds of it. Also they had TONS of .40, a good amount of 9mm and .45. All blazer brass. They had plenty of 12/20/.410 birdshot, no buckshot or slugs. Didnt see any JHp ammo in any calibers.

IMHO I wouldnt touch that with a ten foot pole! we "Know" each other from here, but we dont really do we? That would plant a big red flag for sure.some states like Illinois require a FOID card to purchase ammo,which means you cant buy .308 if all you own is a 30-30.so legality is definitely in play.Ive traded extras for extras at local shows and clubs i suggest you do the same.pick your battles, be safe, while i agree with you it would be awesome, why bring down their crap ?

Re: Local WallyWorld Ammo Gone...??? It seems as though everything as been fine at the wallyworld near here. I thought it sounded kind of bizare the way everyone was talking about the shortage and "new" policy at walmart. UNTIL TODAY! I stopped in for an extension cord an stopped by the ammo cage to take a look. ALL pistol ammo ...probably an area 2'x6'x 16" deep was EMPTY. OK 2 boxes 38special +P and 4 boxes 44mag. That was it! I asked someone who actually looked like he knew what he was talking about and he said they DID recieve a memo that ammo was going to be harder to reorder and the price would be going up at walmart. I grabbed 5 15rnd.boxes of 12 gauge slug for the home defense mossberg. $9 something a box. I have never seen it anywhere near this empty. Hunting tradition around here....maybe just pare it down to birdshot,22lr, and some popular deer hunting rounds....if that?

It looks to me like people are taking it plenty serious. So much so that the shelves are bare across the country. I'm just glad I reload. I'm going to put in a order for 1K worth of primers while I can still get them. I might have to end up getting the Wolf primers. Everything else seems to be out of stock.

angryhippy | 01-18-2009 02:00 PM
Re: Local WallyWorld Ammo Gone...??? Last night the store near me was reasonably stocked up on everything but 38 special and 308. A week ago I visited 3 different Walmarts, 2 in the city and one outside the city limits and all were pretty well stocked still. Now the Bass Pro and Academy Sports ammo stock has been hit hard around here.

Bill843 | 01-18-2009 02:40 PM
Re: Local WallyWorld Ammo Gone...??? I have posted elsewhere in GIM that I think that wal-mart is moving towards a somewhat-individual scheme in terms of what firearms product stores sell. The one nearby me (in IL) only seems to be restocking their shotgun shell selections. They no longer sell firearms at all, and seem to be letting their other ammo sell off bit by bit, there's just a bit of odd stuff left. One in Missouri I went to recently seemed to still be selling everything they always did--a selection of rifle and shotguns (Fudd guns only, but still) and all kinds of ammo, shotgun+rifle+pistol. So I think the company is just looking at what each store sells, and dropping things from stores that don't move them very fast. Plus with the election of Barry, there has been a run on gun items in January. Some of these store shelves that recently went "bare" are probably just waiting on delivery of more items. -end-

Re: Local WallyWorld Ammo Gone...??? Day after Christmas I wiped out 3 different Walmart Supercenters of all the Federal .223 100 round bulk pack boxes they had. Total of 1200 rounds. Went back to 2 of the 3 yesterday and they were still out from when I bought them out. No eta for restock. They did have a few 50 round bulk pack Remington UMC boxes for right around $25 per box. Noticed a local gun shop in the area selling the same Remington UMC for 7.99 a box of 20. This was within pennies of the same price Wallmart was selling the Federal bulk pack for if you compare 100 round pricing between the brands. I will be loading the boat here until the price changes or supply goes belly up. Same place was selling Winchester White Box 7.62 x 51mm for $129 per 200 which I thought was decent pricewise as well. Point being in all this is keep your eyes open on your local gunshop sources as well. Northeast Ohio location.....

Re: Local WallyWorld Ammo Gone...??? I went to my local Walmart to see the status, and the cupboards are still bare. The one thing I didn't think about was it was MLK day so they had no deliveries yesterday. He said they are execting shipments to be coming in daily, but that it's usually gone almost before they get it stocked. I'm going to try again this evening, if the roads open up some from the snow we've gotten. I'd like to hear from others when they find their local stores re-stocked. RK

Re: Local WallyWorld Ammo Gone...??? The few boxes of ammo I've paid for at Wal-Mart were manufactured by American companies on American soil by American workers.

Re: Local WallyWorld Ammo Gone...??? Oh, I got your point and I agree because my hometown and my wife's hometown had the local economy obliterated by Wal-Mart. I was just separating myself from the pool of "nasty, dirty people" you threw me into. It is worth noting that in my wife's hometown there was a great deal of protest and consternation over the fact that Wal-Mart wanted to move in. In fact, their presence was voted out twice. Of course, Wal-Mart kept raising the bar of promises and taxes until they were allowed in. Now, the local economy dries up and more big boxes move in. All the while the local populace who screamed and beat their chests do their shopping at Wal-Mart allowing the very undermining they railed against. If these people were so passionate then why do they set foot in there? Wal-Mart would leave if no one would shop there. They say it is the low prices but apparently they do not know how to calculate real costs outside of the little numbers printed at the bottom of a receipt.

Anyway , she brought out 4 boxes , Rem gold 550 round boxes $16.95 . Guy comes up wanting some also , no problem , I ask how many of the 4 he wanted , just 1 box , that's cool , you take one . I share . First thing asked by the sales lady was , are these for a pistol ? I reply , " a pistol , no way , they are evil , they kill people " and winked at her , she giggles. The guy standing next to me , who I just let have one of the last 4 boxes goes off screaming at me and says " I have pistols , pistols don't kill people ." after that most of the rest he said came out as bla bla bla . The sales lady then asked him for his id since he was purchasing the ammo for a pistol . *L* As the door greeter would say , welcome to Walmart

Re: Local WallyWorld Ammo Gone...??? Checked out the local WW tonight and they were a bit low on the 40 S&W and .357 Mag (that's all I have right now) so I bought one 50-round box for each. Total price about $28 with tax.

Re: Local WallyWorld Ammo Gone...??? The two closest to me are cleaned out pretty much. Kind of funny - one will have .380, but the other won't, etc. Anyway, both had been out of the bulk packs of .22 LR for weeks. I stopped in the one further away over the weekend, and they had a bunch of the Remington Gold 550 boxes (only $13.86). I'd just bought a bunch of ammo at the local Academy that day, so I only got one box. After thinking about it, I went back tonight and picked up 5 more boxes (still a lot left). I also picked up some Blazer Brass 9mm, since everything I shoot eats them just fine. At under $9 a box, I'll take it.

angryhippy | 01-22-2009 02:05 AM
Re: Local WallyWorld Ammo Gone...??? I went to Wally World to clean them out of 9mm but someone beat me to it. Ended up coming home with some boxes of .45 winchester and some .22 cci mini mags. I'll have to see what the other stores have in stock tomorrow.

Re: Local WallyWorld Ammo Gone...??? Visited Wallmart today ,they had 38 special and .22LR Federal some 40 but few , guy said something that warehouse is not receiving any stock and about rumor of additional tax on sale of ammo

That's exactly what the dude I talked to said. Wouldn't happened to have been out in Hemet, was it? :15_1_70v:

dimitri | 01-27-2009 06:00 PM
Re: Local WallyWorld Ammo Gone...??? My store got stocked over the weekend - the case is about 75% full now - whereas it had been around 30% for the past couple months.

Re: Local WallyWorld Ammo Gone...??? Went to two WMs today... almost out of everything... no .22 and no 9mm. Only small overpriced boxes of .308. Always seem to be plenty of 12 gauge, which I guess I could have bought some but didn''t. I took a pic on my phone of the internal memo taped to the counter at the first WM, but didn't save it...:signs14: The official story is as follows: People are buying more than WM can supply. They have orders in to their distributors and suppliers but they are backlogged. The guy at the second place said he has orders in to restock all the popular calibers, and expects them in a week. MAYBE. Walmart says they cannot meet the unprecedented demand. That's their story and they are apparently sticking to it.

tyusclan | 01-27-2009 07:35 PM
Re: Local WallyWorld Ammo Gone...??? I picked up a box of bulk Federal .22LR today, and got a few boxes of .22 shorts yesterday. They had the bulk packs in Federal and Remington. Didn't look like they had a ton of it, but they did have several boxes of each behind the counter. Looked like quite a bit of other stuff in the racks as well. Not as full as usual, but still a looked like a decent stock of most things.

voodoo1951 | 01-27-2009 08:05 PM
Re: Local WallyWorld Ammo Gone...??? Just came from ww and the dept mgr told me stuff is dribbling in but prolly a few months till they can restock any popular flavors...This is straight from the source...This is on the Florida Treasure Coast FWIW...VD51

SLV>GLD | 01-27-2009 08:30 PM
Re: Local WallyWorld Ammo Gone...??? I found all the ammo. Seriously. A local gun shop I finally got around to visiting. They had CASES of EVERYTHING and I mean everything. CASES. These people are why no one else has ammo. Prices were very fair. I spent money I shouldn't have, it was like porn.

It seems as though everything as been fine at the wallyworld near here. I thought it sounded kind of bizare the way everyone was talking about the shortage and "new" policy at walmart. UNTIL TODAY! I stopped in for an extension cord an stopped by the ammo cage to take a look. ALL pistol ammo ...probably an area 2'x6'x 16" deep was EMPTY. OK 2 boxes 38special +P and 4 boxes 44mag. That was it!
I posted this on inaugeration day I believe. I went to 2 different walmarts today and everything was back to normal. Out of stock on this and that but for the most part everthing was there at the same prices. I had never seen it empty like that before! I also went to a larger gun show this weekend and a vender, Wisconsin Cartridge, had bulk boxes of all pistol ammo for a bit less than you pay at walmart. I bought 4000 asst. CCI pistol primers from him $25 @1000.I need to pick up some reloading equipment to reload pistol brass.

Re: Local WallyWorld Ammo Gone...??? 1 Attachment(s) The ammo in the counter behind this memo has pretty much stayed the same. Lots of Winchester high priced rifle rounds - all popular calibers. Some WWB 38sp, Remington .45 & 223 UMC, lots of expensive .22 50 packs but no bricks for months. This counter used to always be stocked. "...we expect in stocks to slowly improve each month."

Re: Local WallyWorld Ammo Gone...??? 1 Attachment(s) Went to the super walmart again. About the 5th time in 3 weeks to look for 45ACP Winchester 100 round bulk packs. Got lucky today, they got 10,000 rounds in last night. I bought 1,000 rounds and the guy behind me got the last 2 boxes of 500. 10,000 gone in a few hours. The kid was very helpful and offered to go look in the back. He said they had it stacked, and no one was buying just one 100 round pack, they either bought a box of 500 or up to 2,000 at one time. Still the same price I was paying back in the summer, $29.97 per 100.

Well there it is........in black and white. Notice THEY DO NOT DENY ANYTHING all that is made is the feeble attempt to deflect this on the customer hoarding. My friends we are in BIG DAM TROUBLE. THIS IS CODE RED X's 9. Get it while you can cause the window will offically be slamming shut at some unforseen hour and the buying frenzy is about to hit maximum overdrive. Many thanks Ag for the pic.........Nothing like a visual :ok: T

Re: Local WallyWorld Ammo Gone...??? I stopped by Wally a bit ago...they have stocked up, but not by much. The guy told me they got 3 cases of Blazer Brass 9's, and everything was going fast. Only one case left + 9 boxes on the shelf (I took the case). They had 5 boxes of Win Value pack 9's, (4) 38 special VP, and some 308's. Check your Wally. Yesterday I stopped by the local dealer, he had American Eagle 9mm for $21 a box! Yes, they really are jacking up prices now! Get it while it's cheap!

Re: Local WallyWorld Ammo Gone...??? Stopped by walmart today. Quite a bit of 40 s&w but almost nothing of anything else. I did grab 550 rounds of cci. 500 minimags and 50 stingers. Stopped by joes as well and they were totally wiped out. We did get a winter coat for my wife, $120 reg. for $45.

GB1980 | 02-09-2009 08:14 AM
Re: Local WallyWorld Ammo Gone...??? WOW--is has happend here in Orlando too. The ammo shelves of the local Walmart have been virtually empty the last month. They have only a few boxes of rifle ammo like 270 and a few boxes of shotgun shells. All of the rest are gone. Maybe a sign of things to come.

ohioarmedneutrality | 02-09-2009 08:38 AM
Re: Local WallyWorld Ammo Gone...??? Last night I stopped at a local Wallyworld. All of the locations in my area had been out of 9mm for about two weeks. Finally this location had some. Picked up two boxes of 100 rounds plus a 500-round "milk carton" of .22. Thankfully, they hadn't jacked up the prices...yet. Call me stupid, but I didn't clean them out. In fact, I told the clerk that I would leave some for the next guy.

My Walmarts are generally out. A popular gun store near me has plenty of 9mm WWB. For 16.95 per 50rd box. Plenty of .223 and everything else as well I believe Walmart's usual price is 19.00 and change for the 9mm 100 rd WWB. I'm thinking that's why people go to Walmart. :wink:

Re: Local WallyWorld Ammo Gone...??? I'd love to support the local gun stores and say FU to Walmart. Unfortunately, until the gun stores are able to sell at a price I can afford, I'll have to deal with WM. Sucks but I gotta keep the ammo supplies at a reasonable level.

$43 for 100 rounds at my ffl, vs $29.97 at WM. Same exact product. I continue to buy my guns from the guy (even though he is slightly higher, possibly due to rent), but havn't bought ammo from him.

where are all the people that said wal-mart is low because they won't be carrying ammo after the 1st of the year don't think that everyone is stock piling it gun ranges are having record attendance and thats where 90% of the ammo is spent.

Just got back from my local Gun Store and grabbed some .357 Magnum for $20 a box of 50 OTD...I'm happy cause I can't ever find anything but high end personal defense stuff. I don't mind spending the bucks for some top of the line carry ammo but that's for special occassions and not for plinking...

Re: Local WallyWorld Ammo Gone...??? Just got back from one of our Walmarts (we have 3 in the area) and it doesnt look good for handgun ammo. 380 auto $31.97 per box of 100, 3 available 38 special +P $18.97 per box of 50, 1 available and purchased by me 357 magnum none 40 S&W $16.94 per box of 50, 1 available and purchased by me 45 Auto (sorry didnt catch price) but only 1 available 9 MM Luger, didnt write down price, about 9 boxes availble, no other 9 MM available 22 didnt see any 7.62 x 39 Remington UMC box of 20 $14.47, 1 available and purchased by me (I dont have one of these but figured it would be good to barter with so if anyone is interested, PM me) I spoke to the guy and asked him what the deal was. He confirmed the warehouse is out, and wont give them any time frame. He also confirmed the memo saying that people are afraid of the increased ammo tax, so there has been a major run on ammo. Nothing that hasnt already been covered here.

Yeah no kidding. I did notice the prices have gone up by over 10% on the 38 Special and the 40 S&W just in the short timeframe I have been buying ammo (purchased the 40 S&W in late November, 357 Magnum in late December) and now that location is out of both. Seems like the cheap ammo days are becoming a thing of the past. :banghead:

Re: Local WallyWorld Ammo Gone...??? No problem buying ammo at my local wally world. Just bought 6 boxes of 9mm at 8.95 a box.

Team Paratrip | 02-11-2009 04:42 PM
Re: Local WallyWorld Ammo Gone...??? Fortunately I have a close friend that works at the Woodforest bank inside the Walmart that checks for me whenever 9mm comes in. Still running about $18.95 @ 100/rd 115 grain FMJ and about $15.95 for 50/rd 147 JHP. .... though I think my girlfriend finally convinced him that he should also stock up too, even if he doesn't have the guns to fire them. I should really consider getting reloading supplies as well... :banghead: Most of my ammo is stockpiled with 100/rd weekly practice. I try NOT to burn up 90% of my ammo at the range.

Re: Local WallyWorld Ammo Gone...??? Big-5: 1 box of Speer Lawman FMJ 9mm, went home with me ($16.99). 2 boxes of Win FMJ 9mm 100 pack, too much ($32.99); 6 boxes of 50, same cartridges, too much. No 38 of any kind, counter guy said none for weeks. Some odd rifle rounds, plus decent supply of 22. Minimal supply of shotgun. Wal-Mart: WOW, 9mm and 38 Special Win back in stock - Took 2 of the 100, left 2 ($19.97 each), and about 5 50 packs. 38 was only Regular not +P, so I left it, about 8 boxes of those (100 round packs). A few odd rifle rounds, and moderate supply of shotgun.

I used a box of 100 this past weekend without incident. I was using a Smith and Wesson M&P Compact 9mm. Will be shooting another box or two this weekend and I'll let you know if I have any issues. RK

Re: Local WallyWorld Ammo Gone...??? Walmart lady called. The .22 ammo finally came in. I bought 3 bricks of Federal. All I can afford for now. I'm sure it will all be gone as soon as she puts it on the shelf. At least it's still slowly trickling in.

Re: Local WallyWorld Ammo Gone...??? I saw they had 1 box of 45 Winchester auto for 31 dollars for 100 rounds so I bought it, even though I don't have a gun yet. Actively trying to get a springfield xd-45... local pawn shop quoted a price of 475 and is trying to find one for me. The lowest I can find online is 525, and most are 550+ for the model with the thumb safety in all black.

Looks like .22 is the next batch to become available, at least for now. Picked up a couple bricks my own self.:signs1:

Re: Local WallyWorld Ammo Gone...??? we have one of the biggest walmarts in south florida in my town(worked there for a spell even) and went today to check the ammo availability and get some preps(water storage vessels, etc) Guy in front of me bought a few boxes of .223(5 or 6) and they still had about another 8 or so on the shelf. Something like 12 bucks i think he paid. He was looking for 7.62 but there wasnt any. He asked the lady "do you have any 7.62" and i laughed out loud accidently. He shot me a look and then laughed back, cause he knew it was a shot in the dark. FINALY FINALY FINALY got some 00 buck. THey havent ever carried it before. 15 rounds box for 10.80 or so, remington. Other than that, NO hand gun ammo cept a few boxes of .38, a couple boxes of blazer brass .40, SOME .380 and .357, but not much at all. good amount of .300 win mag, .308, .270, etc.

No you are not. The calibers your are aquiring will fetch a hansome premium in the very near future. If you have the bucks to spare....... that is a prudent move. T

I've got about a thousand rounds of 9mm Luger FMJ, that I've had for a few years. I don't own a 9mm. I just bought the ammo when it was on sale for $16.00 for 100 rounds. This is Winchester ammo. The way I see it, buying ammo right now is like buying precious metals, you can't go wrong!

Re: Local WallyWorld Ammo Gone...??? we have a new gun shop in my little town, it has enough guns to give every man woman and child one, plus steel ammo cans full of 223, 762 x 54r, and a few other various calibers. none of which are for hand guns. but he did say that his ammunition rep for which ever brand it was (cant remember) was producing 1 round of ammunition every second, operating 365 days a year 3 shifts. can not keep up, and was worried that once this blows over the over stock will cut them back to 3 days a week if best. (personally I don't see the hording thing blowing over)

Re: Local WallyWorld Ammo Gone...??? Just happened to do a little inventory and noticed that we were short on 223. As karma would have it, I heard a radio blurb regarding 223 at a local gunstore; www.sandpointguns.com . So, I show up to buy a 500 round brick of Hornady 9754 training ammo for 162.50. The proprietor tells me that he started the week with 120 boxes of the 500 round bricks, and he now had 16 boxes left. After I left, he had 15 boxes left. Interestingly, he said they were selling "lots & lots" of guns. Keep in mind that we reside in N. Idaho. Oh, BTW... the guy sells everything via FedEx... ammo, mags, guns, et cetera.... totally in compliance with FFL standards. If U get a chance, surf his site. I'm not a buddy-buddy of his, nor did he ask me to post this... I'm just a guy who appreciates good prices and tries to pass good deals along.

Re: Local WallyWorld Ammo Gone...??? Southeastern Ohio - The walmarts shelfs are nearly empty - Heard customer ask attendant when they are going to get resupplied and the response was - We're not - Walmart can't get ammo supplies through warehouse. One box of 357 - 4 boxes of 223 - 2 boxs 38special - 7 boxes 9mm lugar - 10 boxs 7.62X39 - plenty of .17 .22 and shotgun shells. That's about it. Been this way for at least 4 weeks now.

Rebel Yarr | 02-22-2009 09:50 PM
Re: Local WallyWorld Ammo Gone...??? W. WA - like 10 boxes of rifle ammo --- all out - nada. Couple cases of bird shot shells. I bought 2 cases of the birdshot. Gun selection was weak. Sold out of 870 I was going to pick up. Could not believe it. Clerk says they are all backordered....

Re: Local WallyWorld Ammo Gone...??? This weekend's gun Show started Saturday at 9am. When I got there at 9:15, there were over 200 ppl in line and growing. By 11:30, nearly same day all .45 ammo was sold out. There were lines of 10 people at a time buying guns at vendors. If there is any investment to get into right now.. I would say Ammunition of ANY caliber trumps all.

Re: Local WallyWorld Ammo Gone...??? Wish I had more money to stock ammo. I am very happy finally though with what I have to go with the firearms that I have.

gbgunner | 02-25-2009 05:54 PM
Not gone. I just blew $314 w/tax. Almost gone now. Made a trip the Williston Wal-Mart store today. They actually had most of what I wanted in stock. 5.56 / .223 would have been nice but it wasn't necessary. Qty of 4 .22LR Federal 550 ct @ $13.47 Qty of 4 .45ACP Winchester WB 100 ct @ 29.97 Qty of 6 9MM Winchester WB 100ct @ 19.97 I recall the boxes of .22lr being $10 and change when I last bought. And I got 1000 rounds of 9mm out the door for $137. Probably was summer 2007. Hind sight tells me I should have bought more .45ACP. :no_ma:

Re: Local WallyWorld Ammo Gone...??? Yesterday at my local W-M the ammo shelves were about 33% stocked but NO handgun ammo. They only had Thunderbolts and Stingers in .22LR, I bought a couple of boxes of stingers. Clerk said the last time they had .22 bricks they never made it to the shelves: bought immediately before they could be stocked. The clerk blamed the lack of ammo on manufacturer backlogs, I was the only customer in the department.

Re: Local WallyWorld Ammo Gone...??? Southern NH- I buy bricks of .22 Federal and .40S&W white box every time I'm in the store...in fact, its the only reason I visit the store. Last few times, the locked case was 80% empty. Today I got the last two bricks of .22. No .40, no .223, no .308. no .45. There were lots of 12 gauge #7 target load 100 round value packs. I have bought a lot of the 00 buck over the years, but its never there anymore. The clerk said "We are having a hard time getting ammo in".

I seriously have to wonder if some Wallyworld sporting goods personnel are making money "under the table" from the ammo hysteria. "Hey Wallyworld sporting good manager, can you hold back "XX" boxes of "XX" ammo when it comes in? I'll make it worth your while." Before anyone flames me, I'm not making a blanket accusation against all or any particular Wallyworld sporting goods employees, but I wonder if there are "shenanigans" going on at a few different locations, especially if the ammo isn't even making it to the shelves. I can easily see a local gun shop owner making this kind of arrangement, especially if his distributors aren't fulfilling their shipments and his business is suffering from lack of product.

Re: Local WallyWorld Ammo Gone...??? Two days ago in Ohio...... No .40S&W:hissyfit_m: No 9mm No .357 Four boxs of .308 I bought em all:moon: They did have about twenty boxs of .223 at $17.00 each The two older gentlemen at the counter were talking to themselves about how they have never seen anything like this. You could tell they did not have a clue.

No Flaming.........as your point has merit. I would If I was a WW employee ........ either try and coordinate the deal to happen at worktime (very hard IMO) or just Buy it myself with a strawbuyer and have it picked up at another local offsite. There is some SERIOUS money to be made if you can dealer the goods at a time like this. T

I asked the counter guy WTF is goin' on and he says "Not sure, gotta talk to the dept. manager and he's off till Monday" Fortunately, there were 5 boxes of Federal Automatch .22 LR Bulk Pack (325 rds. ea.) My autoloaders love that roundnosed stuff. I snapped it up just because this might be the last WW ammo to be had...I will report back w/ any future info. Anyone else experience anything similar...??? Could this be the end of WallyWorld ammo...Lets hope not...!!!
I just went to our local WM (Jackson, MI), and they had very little pistol ammo. Only one box of .45 ACP, which I bought. Had no idea when they'd get more. But here's what I suspect: I bet they are bringing the popular pistol rounds out one or two boxes at a time. Their business model seems to be "keep the prices low, and have product available in small quantities, to satisfy the maximum number of people." I got a 50 rnd box for about $15 --- a great deal. Stopped by the local gun shop right after, and they had all the .45 ACP you could ever want --- but at $45 for a 100 rnd box. At the WM price, I could've gotten 150 rounds for $45. Bottom line: I bet de-facto rationing is the conscious policy of WM, so they can maintain a low price. They could stock all the ammo they wanted if they were willing to raise their prices by 50%. But that's not their business model.

That is a VERY interesting theory That I had not considered before........ that is only something that could be confirmed at the higher levels (well beyond the scope of a Low level grunt.) Somebody needs to tap a few shoulders higher up the food chain and get some feedback on that one. T

Re: Local WallyWorld Ammo Gone...??? I stopped by today on my lunch hour and got 100 rds. of 9mm Blazer Brass, 100 rds. of CCI .22 magnum HP, and 200 rds. of the.22 LR CCI mini mag HP. The 9mm was the last 2 boxes they had on the shelf. Here are the prices. 9mm Blazer 8.97/50 .22 Mag. 9.97/50 (damn!) :rant: .22 LR 6.47/100 There was no .45 Blazer in stock but they did have a few boxes of the .40 cal. which I don't buy.

In the meantime, I'll keep an eye on our local store and see if the .45 ACP continues to trickle out. If it does, I'll keep snapping it up a box at a time. $15 for 50 is a great price.

Re: Local WallyWorld Ammo Gone...??? I stopped at two walmarts yesterday. Picked up a ruger 10/22 carbine and 3500 rounds of ammo for it. I've stopped their several time in the past and they were always out of .22lr ammo. they had nine bricks and I took eight and left one for someone else. They just shook their heads. They had got in the nine bricks and the carbine the night before. The manager boxed up the gun and wouldn't let me carry it out of the store. He carrried it outside then handed it over to me. On the way out he said Walmart was really fussy about people having guns in the store. I didn't mention I had P32 keltec in my shirt pocket under my vest with one in the chamber. Ha! Ha! I haven't been able to buy any 45 long colt for a long time. Cleaned two Walmarts out of what little .22 magnum and .30 carbine they had. Their shelves always look pretty bare.

Re: Local WallyWorld Ammo Gone...??? I stopped in at two Walmarts in Ohio. Neither had anything I needed. It's trickling in at a rate of a few boxes a week. Or so it seems.

voodoo1951 | 03-04-2009 08:54 AM
Re: Local WallyWorld Ammo Gone...??? I'm beginning to think these wally world employees are on SOMEONE'S payroll other than WM. These times call for drastic measures. Is it possible that the counter guy is tipping off his friend (for Ca$h) when ammo hits the store. That sounds like a no -brainer. I know if it was me, I might do the same thing if I was desperate...Hmmmm, maybe I should try that...!!!

I was back in the same WalMart on Friday (post #181) and the shelves were still bare but I inquired about .22 LR ammo anyway. Turns out they had a case of Winchester XPERT-HV .22 LR 500 count bricks sitting on the floor, bought 2 boxes at $12.97 each straight out of the case, right place at the right time I suppose.

George Spelvin | 03-09-2009 01:40 PM
Re: Local WallyWorld Ammo Gone...??? I was in again last night. No 223, no .40, no .45, no .308, no 7.62 no 9mm, no buckshot or slugs, hardly any .22 (3 bricks of Winchester). The only stuff they had was oddball calibers (IMO) such as .25 auto and .280. The counter guy was pretty cool. I asked if I could leave my anonymous email and have him contact me when they get some in (I've been in twice a week for the last several weeks with no luck). He said they have a specific policy against contacting customers due to the "ammo shortage". I walked out with three 100 rd boxes of 7 1/2 target load 12ga. Had to get something. Target loads remain plentiful and cheap and last I checked, I wouldn't want to be shot with them. Good for alternating with slugs. Sting/stun them, than splatter them.:wink:

Plastic | 03-09-2009 06:02 PM
Re: Local WallyWorld Ammo Gone...??? Was just at the local Chinamart and they actually had pistol rounds!!! The only caliber was ,44 mag 240gr semi wadcutters (I usually get hollowpoints) but I snapped them up anyway. No other pistol rounds at all. I did grab some .22 LR but they only had one value pack and even those were plain lead hollowpoints. I figured if I am gonna get a leaded barrel I would go with some thunderbolts, at least they are a bit heavier. Grabbed all they had, ten 50 count boxes.

Re: Local WallyWorld Ammo Gone...??? I got an earful from the old codger manning the ammo counter at my local WM; about Obama's ammo rush, and all the work it has made for him. He did let slip the technique that some are using to get the stuff before it hits the shelves: Apparently the more aggressive customers call frequently to see if a shipment has come in. When they hear that it has they show up and ask for it before he gets a chance to unpack it and stock the shelves. The customers who swing by and check the display case daily are only getting the leftovers....

For target ammo, you can't beat it for the price. You should have grabbed more. Clean shooting and reloadable.

Re: Local WallyWorld Ammo Gone...??? Ill reply now. I went to the WalMart in Brenham, TX and they had no 9mm or .45. I went to the one near my Houston home at 290 and Tidwell and they had no 9mm or 45 or 12 gauge. They did have 22 bullets though. The shelves were empty as hell. Crazy. Have to order online nowadays even if they are backordered. Just wait it out and it will show. My rule of thumb is to double replace what I shoot.

Re: Local WallyWorld Ammo Gone...??? Stopped in a Walmart yesterday in Albuquerque where the cupboard was about bare... BUT they had SW40 in hunnert round boxes. I bought some. He said he just set that case of boxes on the shelf. We agreed it'll be gone in 24 hours. Said he had a case of 9mm coming in that night (last night) and it'd be gone by close of business today. When I see what I like to accumulate, sitting on a shelf I grab some. He also had 100 round boxes of 223 that he figured would be gone as soon as someone who wanted it saw it. I don't have a 223 so I didn't buy it. Someone will, or probably has by now. Picked up another 550 box of federal 22 and a couple 50 boxes of remington 22mag accutip-v while I was there too. The 40, 762, 38, 223, 9mm seem to fly off the shelf. At the same time, the last 3 stores I've looked at all had a decent to good stock of 45. Don't know what that's all about.

Re: Local WallyWorld Ammo Gone...??? One of my local Wally World stores had an "interesting" approach to maintaining inventory on the shelves toady. I dropped by the sporting goods dept while getting some groceries, hoping to grab some .22LR ammo. After paging an associate to the sporting goods dept, waiting 5 minutes with no response, I found an associate wandering close by. I asked if he could help me or get somebody to get me some ammo out of the case. The story was "it looks like the 3rd shift person took the keys home", so he was unable to help me. What a way to run a business! I was polite, though, and didn't even offer to pick/rake the (cheesy) lock to open it. Maybe next time.

Re: Local WallyWorld Ammo Gone...??? My Wally-World in Central Oregon is OUT too!!! :censored: Didn't expect this in my "neck of the woods." They're going to get more right? I heard from Liberty Tree Radio that this Summer they're stopping ALL Ammo sales. They're not going for our guns, they're going to KILL the supply of ammo!!! :favorites21: :thumpdown

I think they will go after both guns and ammo. This is what I think is coming for everyone. • Colorado, a year after the 1999 Columbine High School shootings, made it a felony to buy a firearm for another person who should know the transaction is illegal, barred anyone from giving a firearm to a juvenile without the consent of the parents; made it illegal for a person not to try to prevent a juvenile from committing a gun crime; and increased the penalty for possession of a weapon by a felon.

Re: Local WallyWorld Ammo Gone...??? Today local WalMart had four cases (4K) .40 cal Blazer Brass, and other location had three cases (3K) 9mm Winchester 100rd value pack. Sounds like Walmart got a large shipment recently and is making way to stores. Also, would encourage everyone to ask the Ammo Clerk if you can get on their "super secret" waiting list. Found this out when I went behind the counter snooping and discovered six unopened (and hidden) cases of handgun and .223 ammo.

Re: Local WallyWorld Ammo Gone...??? My local Walmart in NE Kansas was out of 7.62x39. Not only were the cupboards bare, but the guy scanned the labels and informed me that nothing is coming for at least a week.

Re: Local WallyWorld Ammo Gone...??? Local WM last night , out of every hand gun load over .22 cal except for 1 box of .40 cal , no .223 , 1 box 308 , few odd aboxes of .30 , 30-30 , n 30-06 and 4 boxes of .300 weatherby , price on those went up $4 since monday . On the front of the case big sign that says . Empty slots on back order , warehouse out . 5 boxes each ordered. Yes boxes , not cases .

Hmm. These were $8.97 at a bunch of stores just 2 weeks ago (if you could find any). That's a healthy markup and more to come I'm sure.

Wow, my ammo just went up 7%!

Drumblebum | 03-15-2009 12:40 PM
Re: Local WallyWorld Ammo Gone...??? Went to the local WM yesterday to get something for my daughter, went by the ammo counter expecting to find next to nothing. True, they were out of the basics, but for some reason the guy had four 100 rd boxes of Federal .223... Did I bring enough cash? Just enough for one box... :banghead: Tempted to bust out the debit card, but rules is rules...(cash only on ammo purchases).

tyusclan | 03-15-2009 04:39 PM
Re: Local WallyWorld Ammo Gone...??? Was in yesterday, and they only had the Remington bulk pack .22's. Spoke to the lady at the counter, and she told me she was getting some Federal in later that night. I went back this morning and got two boxes. I would have got more, but like Drumblebum, I like to pay cas for ammo, and that was about all the cash I had on me. I'm gonna swing back in the next few days, and see if I can pick a few more boxes. It looks like they got quite a bit in, but it goes fast once folks learn it's there. Most of the other calibers were still pretty bare, but they did have more than they've had in a while. The .22's were all I was interested in right now.

George Spelvin | 03-17-2009 03:51 PM
Re: Local WallyWorld Ammo Gone...??? Today I went on a tour of four Walmarts within a 50 mile radius of me. There was not a single brick of .22 to be found at any of them. No .40 at any of them. A grand total of 5 boxes of .223 between the four stores (or 1.25 boxes per store). No .357, no 9mm, no 7.62x39. I did find 2 boxes of .308 which I purchased as a nice Rem 700 in .308 is on tap for me when finances improve. Shotgun shells (sport loads) starting to look depleted. This was at FOUR stores. Stopped by my local hunting store...shelves were fairly depleted also.

Re: Local WallyWorld Ammo Gone...??? Good News! Without ammo, the children will be safe. :sarcasm:Right?:sarc: Pick up whatever ammo you can, when you can.

dimitri | 03-17-2009 07:57 PM
Re: Local WallyWorld Ammo Gone...??? Checked two stores in my town - big improvement over previous months. First had 1000 .223 in 10x100rd Federal packs ($40 ea). 5x250rd .40 value packs (~$68ea). 2 bricks of Federal .22lr - bought both of those at ~$13 each despite the packages being a bit damaged. Second store had a half aisle of 100rd 12ga or 20ga sporting rounds (~$22 either Federal or Winchester).

GoldWampum | 03-17-2009 08:47 PM
Re: Local WallyWorld Ammo Gone...??? I stopped in one today that had .308 only of the popular rounds. I bought 150 of .22 WMR CCI maxi-mags 40 gr. 100 JHP, 50 FMJ. 10+ per 50. That's where I'm lowest now anyway. Plenty of 22lr decent supply of other cal's.

Igotyour6 | 03-17-2009 10:21 PM
Re: Local WallyWorld Ammo Gone...??? shipment of 5500 rounds of.22 walked out the door, that was all they had, and the clerk said he had just put it on the shelf...should have been there 10 minutes earlier

Ghost Recon | 03-18-2009 03:01 PM
Re: Local WallyWorld Ammo Gone...??? I bought a case of 9mm, wwb today at the local WM. $200 or $10/box of 50. And my Ruger LCP finally came in at the local gun store.

Straybullet | 03-18-2009 03:47 PM
Re: Local WallyWorld Ammo Gone...??? I wiped them out of all their 9MM and many many bricks or .22lr today. They don't get it in too often. They can not keep 22 in stock here much less 9mm and 45. I do have a local source for 7.62 x 39 for $6.99 for 20 rounds here - been stocking up on that too :)

gangsta99 | 03-18-2009 07:52 PM
Re: Local WallyWorld Ammo Gone...??? Well my local Wally World looked like it has been raped in the ammo area. Nothing left but some random calibers and some cheap value packs of random shot for 12 and 20 gauge shotguns.

Re: Local WallyWorld Ammo Gone...??? [IMG]:coolbeer:[/IMG][QUOTE=voodoo1951;1494648][/IMG]Well, it looks like the rumors about wallyworld might be true. Somewhere on one of the forums I read all urban WW stores will no longer carry ammo after the first of the year. Anyone else experience anything similar.. was at cabelas and walmart and a couple rod and reel and bait shops out here in california...everything is expensive..some things were sparse like 12 gauge but even those still had brands in stock you just couldnt be real picky..same with 7.62 and 9mm sparse but still plenty to buy...as far as .270 or .30/.06 or 7mm mauser 22lr were all stacked to the roof..in all 5 stores i went to in sacramento it was the same as for guns there were all the different makes you would expect from pistols to shotguns...by the way can get a mossberg pump still for $300.00 bucks but ive seen more choices on other visits so stock is down some but no to the point of it appearing so unless you are a regular visitor

Go to the gun shop in Rio Linda. I got some decently priced ammo there a couple weeks ago. The Big 5 in Davis is fairly well stocked as is the one in woodland but the Walmart in Dixon and Woodland have nothing. Don't buy ammo in the Big 5 in South Sac as they have plenty of supply but make yu register your ammo purchase with their police. The Elk Grove Gun Room is out of everything good also.

Re: Local WallyWorld Ammo Gone...??? I used to stop in 2 - 3 different local Wally World's nearly daily..... Then I started calling..... Now I just spend the extra couple FRN's and go to my local Gun Shop. They seem to still have a decent assortment. I am actually very surprised that they haven't raised their prices significantly in light of lack of ammo near every where else. RK

Re: Local WallyWorld Ammo Gone...??? I've been to 3 different WM's and 2 different Academys - just last Friday - and revisited several of the same stores this afternoon........ Bare shelves. Mostly just hunting ammo avail. No 9mm .40 .45 .223 7.62 x39 or .308. Real bummer. :(

voodoo1951 | 03-25-2009 09:50 AM
Re: Local WallyWorld Ammo Gone...??? Finally scored one box of 50 Remington .22LR for $6 + tax. That is all they had. One damn box. I've given up shooting my 22's for the same reason I ain't shooting any other calibers either. These are strange times indeed...:banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead:

I'm so glad I used to buy two of those boxes every time they had them on sale for $9.99! Those days are gone. Now the SALE price at Big5 is $19.99! They also used to have 100 round boxes of Winchester 9mm on sale at Big5 for $15.00. Wishful thinking now.

Hell, I still have four 100 round boxes of the Winchester 9mm that I paid $10 for! It makes me not want to shoot it. My local Wally World has been bare of even bulk .22lr for a while. All they seem to have is the 100 round CCI stuff. I'm lucky enough to get off of work at 2:00 in the afternoon. So I stopped at the Super WM near work to get the scoop on their inventory. I was shocked to see they actually had some ammo to sell. They had Winchester Xpert HV 500 round bulk and Remington Golden Bullet 550 round bulk. There were about 8 boxes of each. I purchased 4 of each (2 boxes are for a buddy at work). I asked the guy if he by chance had any 9mm. He pointed 5 boxes of Blazer Brass on the shelf. I said, "Wow, I'm shocked you actually have some in stock." To which he replied, "I got 11 boxes in this morning. It's only 2:30 and that's what is left." So, I purchased two. As the man was ringing me up, he asked, "So, how long will all of this last you?" I said, "Probably a couple of years." Today was a really good score for me. I have checked 4 ammo sites for bulk .22 and they have all been out of stock. No brick and mortar places close to home have had any either. This puts my inventory at just under 7k rounds. My goal is 10k. I'm also sitting on about 600 rounds of 9mm. I think I may just sit back now and let everyone else pick at the bones. Time to focus on other preps. :wink:

Re: Local WallyWorld Ammo Gone...??? Went to the range this AM and shot my Beretta 92 with a .22LR Factory top. Hit Wal-Mart and grabbed 3 boxes of the Federal 550 ct. $43.24 out the door. Nothing but .22LR in stock there. An older gentleman asked about 9mm. Clerk said he had no idea when they'd have any 9mm, .40S&W, or .45ACP.

You're lucky that your local Wally World allows you to buy that many boxes of ammo. Some of the local ones seem to have implemented a 5 Box maximum per customer. Doesn't matter if the box contains 20 rounds, or 550 - 5 Boxes.

I have yet to run into that situation, but I honestly expected it. This was one of the larger Walmart stores that is about the size of a Sam's Club. I really was surprised to hear there was no limit. This one was near work, which is 30 miles from home for me. It's in more of a rural/upscale area. Perhaps that has something to do with it? I don't think the one by my house has boxes of any single type of ammo unless it's shotgun shells.

angryhippy | 04-07-2009 04:57 PM
Re: Local WallyWorld Ammo Gone...??? The Walmart next to me got 200 cases of 9mm today, 20 boxes per case. They had 3 boxes left when I got there around 1pm. They had 100 cases of .45 and they had already sold out of those. I came home with a case of 9mm blazer brass.

Re: Local WallyWorld Ammo Gone...??? Any suggestions on sites that have ammo? No one has anything around here.

MOD1 | 04-07-2009 07:59 PM
Re: Local WallyWorld Ammo Gone...??? The situation is still fairly tight around here; however, deliveries to Walmart are still being made. I was able to pick up 10 boxes of 9mm Blazer Brass and 10 boxes of Winchester 5.56 at a Walmart 22 miles from my home. This is the first 9mm and 5.56 ball ammunition that I've seen at a Walmart since the election. I arrived at this Walmart well before 8 a.m. and still was third in line for ammo. Also, a public thanks to the young gentleman ahead of me that asked me what I planned on getting and ended up splitting the 9mm with me. Thanks much, Mod1

leadfoot | 04-08-2009 07:17 PM
Re: Local WallyWorld Ammo Gone...??? Things are so bad around here that a couple of the Walmarts have gone sticking other stuff in the cases so they don't look so empty - binoculars, paint gun supplies, etc. Or, spreading the ton of 22-250 & 30-06 they have around so every other slot is filled.

gpond | 04-08-2009 08:59 PM
Re: Local WallyWorld Ammo Gone...??? The local Gander Mountain has resorted to trying to sell boxes (50) of Remington target loads (FMJ - copper) 9mm for 49.95 a box. Got that? $49.95 a box!!! I will not forget them for this. I buy boxes for 13.98 up the road. I will remember them.

Must have been mismarked. I'm sure that was the 250 round "value pack" price, just on the wrong box. Ya right!

Re: Local WallyWorld Ammo Gone...??? Local store finally had some 500pk .22LR in stock, was finally able to hit my goal of 10,000 rounds

Re: Local WallyWorld Ammo Gone...??? The cabinet at my locally Wally is just about empty. About all they have left is 223. I don't own this caliber of firearm and don't know much about it. Is it worth it for me to invest in it for later barter or possible trade for the caliber ammos I do need? They have a variety of Remington and Winchester types and weights of 233. Any recommendations as to what would have the most appeal as trade bait?

Same here in my town, GP I asked if it was a mismark and the guy said nope, supply and demand. I wont forget either. BTW, If it wasn't for this board, I would be shooting blanks. Fortunately, I took the advice of many and stocked up big a few years back. :ok::ok::ok: Mark

Re: Local WallyWorld Ammo Gone...??? I just returned from my weekly shopping trip. Wal-mart, Kroger etc. Wal-mart had zero handgun ammo again. Been like this for many weeks. The clerk said they get a few boxes in every shipment and it flies out the door usually within an hour or two.

Re: Local WallyWorld Ammo Gone...??? Local WM today told me they received a memo and were told to not expect any ammo for at least 6 weeks .

At nearly $.50 a round, I wouldn't bother with the 45 grain stuff, which is usually what they have in stock. If you can pick up 55 grain stuff for under half a buck a round, that wouldn't be too bad in today's market. It would also be better for trade in the future.

Yep, same response from the Manager of the store. I called and asked about availability. He said the warehouse was cleaned out and it would be WEEKS before anymore would be shipped. We will see. I will continue to call on Wednesdays and Saturdays. Mark

Re: Local WallyWorld Ammo Gone...??? Stopped by WM today thinking that it may be kinda slow since its easter sunday. 3rd in line for ammo. The good news, they had some ammo. Only 1 box of BB 45, grabbed that and a box of 9mm for the lady. They had about 350 rds of 357, more 9mm, and of course, plenty of 40. If I was to buy a new caliber of handgun right now, it would be a 40 just because of the availability of ammo. Did find another little honey hole at a out of the way sporting goods store yesterday. They had about 2 cases of BB in 9mm. Picked up 2 boxes there for the lady at 12.99 each. When I got it home, I was a little shocked to see that some of the cartriges had some corrosion starting on them, just little spots on the bullet and the cases were not very bright at all. I wonder how long those have been in the back room, I cant really immagine that they have had improper storage. Who knows??? Im sure they will shoot just fine, just kinda surprised to see older 9mm ammo in todays market.

Re: Local WallyWorld Ammo Gone...??? Stopped by WW today. They had nearly nothing. Seriously... whole shelves were empty. I was going to take a pic to post, but thought that might be interpreted as a display of "rightwing extremist paranoia", so I didn't do that.

Re: Local WallyWorld Ammo Gone...??? Been OVER 4 Long Months since I started this thread. Sad to report in that time, there has not been a lick of useable ammo at WW that I was able to get my hands on before the sorry azz counter guy tips his buddy off about the next delivery. I'm just pissed off cause I ain't that guy... I called em out on it too and the douchebag sounded like Ralph Cramdon on the Honeymooners...Ha-ma na-ha-ma-na...I have written that place off TOTALLY...!!!

madcow | 04-17-2009 01:58 PM
Re: Local WallyWorld Ammo Gone...??? Called local store last night and they were putting out 10 boxes of just delivered Blazer Brass 9mm. I went right over and asked for all ten boxes and was told bluntly I couldn't have them all - they were quite rude actually (2 women behind the counter). She said, "We've just had 3 calls for this and the people are on their way over." I settled for 8 boxes knowing one of the 3 callers was me and the other two could have a box each. While taking my cash another guy walks up and asks for 9mm and buys the last two boxes. Guy behind me was looking for .45 and was visually pissed they were still out. He looked like a cop actually. Anyway, the situation is getting worse here. The shelf was bare of most calibers of pistol and they had a single box of .223, which I bought too. The counter was very busy and the clerks are testy, but it's the first time I've ever been denied buying my fill. By busy I mean people (white males) would walk up, ask for chosen ammo, be told don't have it, do the hesitant two steps sideways while looking blankly at the near empty case and then walk away. I really need to secretly film the process and put a time lapse on Youtube. At least they are not jacking the price as yet. I'm confident they could double or triple their prices and still sell out. Scored: 8 boxes of 50 Blazer Brass 9mm @ $8.97ea 1 box of 20 Remington .223 55 grain @ $17.97ea Denied: No .380 Auto, no .22LR in any quantity, no 00-buck, no slugs. Lots of shotgun sport loads and decent selection of odd-ball rile ammo.

CQC McDuck | 04-17-2009 03:34 PM
Re: Local WallyWorld Ammo Gone...??? Yesterday I lucked out and got 3 value pack boxes of 00 buck for $9.97 each. 15 shells per box. :565:

FireMattMillen | 04-17-2009 04:45 PM
Re: Local WallyWorld Ammo Gone...??? My dad stopped at the local sporting goods store on April 15th - they had no handgun ammunition whatsoever. That has never happened before - this place is usually very well stocked. They did have an adequate selection of rifle and shotgun ammo though - I still can't figure out why handgun ammo is the hardest to get.

gangsta99 | 04-17-2009 04:51 PM
Re: Local WallyWorld Ammo Gone...??? Sad to report my locally China-Mart is out of everything. Also they have signs up now limiting customers to 4 boxes of ammo per purchase. Doesn't matter what type FOUR TOTAL. So damn stupid.

Re: Local WallyWorld Ammo Gone...??? Why even bother with WallyWorld? If you think of your time and patience in terms of money, you don't gain a hell of a lot by going there....first off, the WW nearest to me is a pain in the ass to park at, as it is is perpetually mobbed, so you end parking about 400 yards from the entrance.... Then, you get into the store, walk all the way to the frigging back where the sporting goods are, only to find that they have nothing in stock..so, you end up standing around, cooling your heels, while waiting for some androygenous salesperson to come along and help you....and, of course, when you ask him/her/it a question, you get an unintelligible answer back, if any answer at all.... Assuming you actually manage to goddam find anything in there worth buying, you end up in a long check-out line, along side 400-lb women in tank tops along with their broods of drooling, screaming kids....by the time you get to the frigging register, you end up having your goods wrung up by a pitiful elderly person who probably first started working sometime around Roosevelt's first term in office; inevitably, they FUBAR the register and have to call their pimple-faced, 19-year old supervisor to come over and figure how to un-FUBAR the register so you can pay for your goddam merchandise and get the hell out of there..... Then, you get out to your car, and you notice a dent and a big, red streak of paint on your driver's side rear panel, no doubt left their by the screw-ball who, for some reason, could not figure out how to back out a 6-foot wide car out of a 10-foot space... all in all, is it really worth it?????:36_1_28:

Re: Local WallyWorld Ammo Gone...??? I hit two walmarts this morning. I've been hunting some plain 357 or 38 special locally so I can shoot my damned wheel gun... 1rst Wally World: A few high end hunting rounds in mainly odd calibers. 2 boxes of 30-06 in ($34 for 20rnds) 2 boxes of .308 ($22 for 20) Winchester X-load I think One "Value Pack" of Winchester white box in 7.62x39. $27.97 for 40rnds. That's quite a value huh?:sarc: This was hidden behind a pile of really expensive 7mm hunting loads. Various shotgun shells, even those are getting thin now A shit load of 25 auto for a decent price ($16 for 50rnds) I almost bought some just for the hell of it. Maybe if anyone would have been around to help me I would have. No 9mm, 40, 45 or anything else worth a shit...:no_ma: Some 22LR of course, not much though Off to Walmart #2: Oh look more 7.62x39 "Value packs":sarc:, 2 of them actually... Some .32 auto and .25 auto at this Walmart. Too bad I don't own anything that shoots it anymore... 22LR, various shotgun shells, odd ball caliber hunting rounds... Hey! they have one box (50rnds) of plain jane 357 magnum.... For 30 freaking dollars....:banghead::banghead::banghead: I waited at the counter pondering spending that much for one box of crappy ammo. No Walmart employees around for 100 yards, so I split. The great ammo famine of '09 continues...

tyusclan | 04-19-2009 10:13 AM
Re: Local WallyWorld Ammo Gone...??? About the only ammo I buy from Wally World is the Federal bulk packs of .22LR. I've been checking every couple of days, but they haven't had any for weeks now. I did pretty well at the gun show back in March. I found some ammo and reloading stuff that I'd been needing. The next one locally is July 4th, so I'm hoping to pick up some more things I need then.

Believe it or not, I would have grabbed the 50 "plain Jane" .357's, $30 is actually cheap, here it goes for $37, plus 5% tax

Re: Local WallyWorld Ammo Gone...??? Went to my local Wal-Mart for my ammo, and it is finally empty. Nothing left but shotgun shells, a few partial bricks of rimfire ammo, and some hunting rifle ammo. Bought a box of .243 Winchester for deer season and called it a day.

Kmart doesn't carry handgun ammo. Haven't for years, ever since the anti-gun columbine activists got to them.

Re: Local WallyWorld Ammo Gone...??? Tazzman is spot on in his assessment, we must have gone to different schools together! The auto shop door is the closest that you can park to the building including the "handicap" spots. This is a key bit of trivia if it is raining or you happen to plan on carrying or wheeling out a heavy load.

Deer rifle cartridge... I don't really think so as it's not spent in great numbers... Most it ever gets shot is sighting in. OTOH... Some bubba might be planning on that for his "sniper" round.:dontknow:

Re: Local WallyWorld Ammo Gone...??? I Finally hit FacadeMart on the right day. Cases of .380. 9mm, 30.06, .223, .40, .38 Special. Picked up some 9mm for .28 per round, including burdensome sales tax. I left there at 5 PM, and the clerk told me that it would all be gone by closing time.

Re: Local WallyWorld Ammo Gone...??? Strange goin-ons at Wallyworld. As background, WW in my area (perhaps all of Fla) restricts sales of ammo to between 9AM - 9PM. I just happen to be paasing by a WW last night shortly before closing so I decided to pull in just to do a recon run. Well Lordy, they had .38, .357, 9mm and .45. Not lots and lots, perhaps a dozen boxes altogether. Best of all, they had .22LR bulk packs, just not as much as I was going to want. I show up this morning and can't believe there are already 2 guys ahead of me. So we hang out and yak about the ammo shortage (what else) while waiting for them to open the counter. I happen to notice the 9mm, the Federal Automatch .22, and a bunch of .22 bulk packs are no longer there. We figured some enterprising WW employee acquired them. Anyway, I ended up with about 3,500 rounds of stuff and this WW is empty again.

Re: Local WallyWorld Ammo Gone...??? Stopped by today on lunch and scored 200 rds. of the Federal .223 (the 100 rd. bulk packs) and 100 rds. of Blazer Brass .45 ACP. The clerk said they had some 9mm this morning but it was already gone.

I know a fellow who Owns a EMS Supply and I got in good with him (bought a few products that I could have gotten cheaper but I told him I wanted to patronize the store) Come to find out this guy also a FFL and he buys ammo and other stuff in bulk be his sitting on a nice stash of the poppular calibers. He will only sell to private cliente or buddies. Guess who is in that circle now??? :bear_thumb::bear_thumb::bear_thumb: T

Re: Local WallyWorld Ammo Gone...??? Local Walmart has nothing but 12 gauge shells. Local shop is out of everything cept surplus for the Mosin. Local range has stock in most stuff but they are deathly expensive in normal conditions. (1.5X cost, or more, of competitors). Now they have added a restriction that ammo sales are limited to one box per customer per day and that they are for range use only. No sales to go. I've just been ordering online and waiting. Get in stuff here and there. Not really buying box ammo much now as I've started reloading. Folks were right, that is a hobby in and of itself and can be quite engaging.

Re: Local WallyWorld Ammo Gone...??? Same deal at WW...Zip, Nothing...:4_1_72: I gave up even going there. On the other hand, went to a local little Gun Show (10-12 tables) and picked up 5 boxes of Blazer Brass .45 ACP for $100 otd. I think it was like 12 bucks last time I even saw any at WW...More "Ballistic Treasure" to add to the Stack.:9536::cooler::10_1_20:

Re: Local WallyWorld Ammo Gone...??? Just got back from WW here , plenty of .40 cal but only 1 box of blazer .45 for $16.93 OTD The .45 wasn't there when I left. Nothing else for hand guns but some rifle ammo , 223 , 30 , 243 , 300 weatherby for $51 a box . Most all 12 ga gone but plenty of 20 ga.

Re: Local WallyWorld Ammo Gone...??? A guy I work with also works at WW part time. We live in Ill-annoy and, as such, you must have a FOID card to purchase guns/ammo. He doesn't have one, otherwise he could purchase it for me. But, he can have his buddy in sporting goods hold on to a few boxes of 9mm for me. I wonder how many employees of WW are doing this for their friends, which would explain why not much of it actually hits the shelves. But, in a "every man for himself" situation, you take any edge you can get. Right?

Exactly. I get in some kind of ammo or reloading components every week. I'm backordered for various things at Midway and Graf's. When they get it, they ship it to me. Actually I'm down to only a couple of things on backorder. Stuff is still coming in to them and then getting shipped right out! It's especially easy with Midway. They will usually have a little place where they tell you when they expect more stock to come in. And they have that Remind Me button. Click on that and put in your email address. As soon as they get some in, you get an email. Has worked great for me a couple of times already. And Midway and Graf's both give you dealer prices on ammo and components if you have a C&R on file with them! You can make back that $30 for three years on your very first order!!! Gregg

Re: Local WallyWorld Ammo Gone...??? My local WW has been out of the ammo I want for the past 6 times I have visited. No more Federal 22 bulk packs, no 38 spc, no 9mm. I stopped by this evening after picking up some incandescent bulbs (also on the future endangered list), and the sales guy is a 50ish white guy, and he goes on a rant about why everyone's buying up ammo. Says Obama's been in office, and nothing has happened yet. To stay grey, I just grin, nod, and go on my way. I think they get tired of turning folks away. I'm thinking of buying up 30-30 ammo which they do seem to have most of the time. I do have a Marlin 30-30 lever action besides my MBRs, and as I live in the burbs it might be just the ticket if SHTF. But with that guy's attitude, I decided to return later to buy 30-30 when someone else is on duty. The guy might just turn my name in to the goon squad's black list. I didn't like the way he was badmouthing folks who just want to stock up on ammo.

Maybe he's just sick of people coming in and buying everything instead of just buying 2 boxes and leaving some for others. There is more than one way to look at this. If everyone who actually shoots just bought the same amount they usually buy there would be no shortage. Hey there's 5 .22 bricks left gimme all of them I'm a big fat pig. What? I can't have them all? It's conspiracy! Hey there's still some 30-30 I think I'll take all that too even though I don't even own one. Otherwise someone else might actually have a shot at it! What? There's some .25 ACP left? I know .25 sucks but gimme all 10 boxes! Yeah I can sell this on gunbroker to some poor schmuck who didn't get there before I did! oink oink

Hey Mick, how well do you know this guy? I would not shoot someone else's reloads unless I knew them very well and knew I could trust their reloading practices. Most ka-booms are caused by inattentive reloaders accidentally double charging a round. On the wallyworld front, I finally found some .45acp at one of the 2 walmarts near me after a 2 month dry spell. The store was limiting purchases to 2 boxes per customer, which is probably why I was able to find some. Other than 4 boxes of .45. they only had some shotshells, high end .22lr and a few more obscure rifle calibers in the case.

So you're intimating that I'm a communist Obama supporter for wanting to be considerate of others? I should probably just change my name to Joe Biden. I didn't know that the desire for reasonably priced assault weapons and ammunition put me in with the Obamas. I'm just tired of going in and finding everything gone or sky high because some pinhead bought it all and isn't even going to use it. My point was - it's not a government conspiracy, maybe the shopkeeper just thinks you're a selfish a-hole.

Typical liberal crap. You seem to be pretty "considerate" with other people's money and property!! Why dont you just buy all the "overpriced" ammo with your own money, and sell it at a "fair" price to whoever you want? You are worst than a flat out communist, because, while a communist knows that he is against private property, and says so, you think you are actually in favor of private property, but you are only in favor of it as long as the owners of that property use it in a manner in which you approve.

How about you buy what you need and it stays at normal price? I don't want to make any money making other people miserable, that sucks. It's not a political ideology, just an explanation for why some people don't like you at Walmart other than your bs government conspiracy theory. No, I don't want to force you to do anything; it's only a suggestion. You're behaving like an a$$ calling me a communist and every other name. It's bullcrap. I'm just trying to get it through your fat head why people hate you there.

What in the world are you talking about? When did I ever say anyone hates me at Walmart or anywhere else. How about I buy what I want, and sell what I want, and everyone else can do the same. Where do you get off saying that I am "making people miserable" by buying something from someone? Should I never buy anything, because there might be someone down the road who might have wanted it? By your logic, anyone who buys anything on Ebay is just making people miserable, because there was someone else who wanted to buy the same item cheaper and didnt get it. Why do you think you are entitled to tell other people what to do with their time, money, or property??

Re: Local WallyWorld Ammo Gone...??? Stopped by a WM just because of this thread and the shelves were bare of everything except birdshot and a lone box of 357 mag. Stopped by Gander Mountain and the shelves were sagging under the weight of case after case of 7.62X39, .223 and .308. They had cases of everything EXCEPT 9mm, .380 and .22lr bricks. Too bad I'm in the market for .380. I don't have the funds to stock anything I'm not actually going to shoot, but if I had I would have took home a case each of those rifle rounds just to sell/trade with the interest of procuring as much .380 as possible if it is EVER available again for anywhere near a reasonable price. If that EVER happens I will buy at least 5000 rounds and I will SHOOT every single one within 2 years' time so I don't want to hear any goddamned moaning about me being a piggie for eating up the stock when I've been unable to get any for about 3 months now. The last 5K rounds are sitting at under 1K now and I've had to stop shooting for fear that my guns will be about as useful as rocks very soon.

Let me try to explain this in a way everyone here can easily understand. You all say you hate inflation right? You say we need sound money? And yet a recurring theme we see here is people trying to exploit manias and bubbles created by none other than inflation and unsound money. Speculating is what brought us to this sorry state, I am not a communist but maybe you are because there were plenty of people just like you in Soviet Russia. I'm not entitled to tell you to do anything but it would be nice if you all practiced what you preached. Some of you claim to be Christians, you are participating with glee in a system built on usury and enjoying its fruits. I just find it to be fascinating and ugly, do whatever you want. Don't matter to me because every bubble pops, not some, not a few, every one.

A safer bet for me is to buy things that I want that have fallen drastically in price and demand is soft. I bought a ton of clothes, a flat screen TV and furniture at deep discounts. They're practically giving it away and I'd been doing without. Now you all on the other hand are buying something that is rapidly appreciating, kind of like investing in $20 dollar silver and many of you know how that goes. The time to buy is when nobody else is buying and the price is depressed - you all know that and yet you always think "this time is different". Same as any other mania. If I buy a bunch of ammo it could fall and I'm left holding the bag on a bunch of stuff I don't need that takes up a lot of space and can't sell what I paid for it. Guns are already heading going lower because ammo is expensive. There is a limit what people can pay just like GAS. If I buy it to shoot I'll just end up paying premium prices for something that may be dirt cheap in the future. Therefore I'll protect myself by only buying what I need which is a lot to the average person but I don't plan to sell anything. If the price of ammo does stay sky high, the value of your guns will decrease. I'm just a simple guy and I like to sleep at night, I used to like to shoot but that's too expensive. Now there's a too many numbskulls at the range who like to point their muzzles at me so I have to find something else to do before I get shot or go broke.

In other words, instead of buying ammo which you think might be priced too high and headed lower, you buy consumer goods which are GUARANTEED to head lower. Then you post that as a wise investment strategy?? Seriously, did you vote for Obama??

Hi, TTAZZMAN! My name is CrufflerJJ, and I'm also an ammo-a-holic. Bless me father, for I have sinned. It's been over a month since my last ammo purchase. bfnelson - yes, the time to buy is when there's not a huge demand. Unfortunately, for ammo, that was years ago. There are plenty of folks who are just now deciding to wise up & acquire a weapon & the means to defend themselves. Yes, they're years behind the times. Such is life. I do not begrudge folks who post on GIM letting other members know where they can buy some ammo. More power to them! It's for this reason that I spread the word whenever I see a decent deal on ammo or magazines or components. If they want/need it, they can buy it. Having been "into" firearms for years & years & years & years &..., I don't really need to buy more ammo. I've got plenty stashed away, and have just been adding to the .22LR stash from time to time since I can't reload that stuff. I suspect many folks on GIM are not buying ammo as an investment, but as a "security blanket" of some sort, just to make sure they have sufficient ammo set aside to feed their weapon(s) in case of some future silly government mandate. Ultimately, it does not come down to any sort of "need" - it's just a "want", like most anything else in our wunnerfull country. If you want to buy it, and have the means to do so, feel free to buy it. Or not.

Nothing is guaranteed, if I bought a 70 dollar pair of pants for $27 do I know that in 5 months they will be $20 dollars? Some people forget that during deflation the cost of some goods rises and availability falls. What happens when all the furniture stores close, does furniture get easier or harder to find? I am not an investor but I buy low and don't buy things I can't afford banking that they will go up and I don't fail to buy things that I can well afford because I think they may go down. I try to get a good deal on what I need while it's relatively cheap. Buying anything after it has been rising for a while and a bandwagon forms is generally a bad idea. Is it really that intelligent to ignore the sale on dishsoap to buy ammo and use the inflation on the ammo to buy dishsoap later when it's 5.00 a bottle? What happens if the x, y z commodity is no longer inflated but the dishsoap is? Are you going to put off doing your dishes until your ammo or silver comes back to what you paid for it?

Local WallyWorld Ammo Gone...??? Went over to WM at lunchtime on Monday. They had several types of common ammo but nowhere the normal stocked shelves. There were 2 others in line ahead of me that wanted 223 and 9mm respectively. The 223 was in stock but there was no 9mm. The person that wanted the 9mm said that they called early that morning and the sporting goods cashier said they had some. Now--at noon--all gone. I bought my 2 box quota of the caliber I wanted and left. I felt like I needed more so I went back yesterday and got 2 more. Slowly building my inventory.

What happens if the x, y z commodity is no longer inflated but the dishsoap is? Are you going to put off doing your dishes until your ammo or silver comes back to what you paid for it?
You crack me up. Try to sell any of those consumer goods that you bought on sale. See if anyone is going to pay you what you paid for them. Thats what they are worth. Not the price that they are selling for in the store. Im not going to argue with you about this anymore. Ill spend my money on what I want, and I will buy and sell ammo as long as its profitable. You can hoard all the dishsoap you want and thats fine with me too. You can feel free to think I am a bad person and you can pretend you are better than anyone who would sink so low as to engage in capitalism. :Surrender:

Re: Local WallyWorld Ammo Gone...??? Hit a Waldo-World in a different part of town from usual. When I got there, 3 guys were already standing in front of the near empty display case. They only had about 25 boxes of various 7mm stuff. They even had the remaining stock of 12 gauge shells in the cabinet, along with a bunch of knives and GPS units and other stuff.. The 3 guys were talking to the Sporting Goods manager. I only heard the tail end of the conversation but he said he has a standing order with the distribution center to send as much ammo of all kinds that they can every day. The truck comes in about 9:00 AM every day and what little he gets he sells in the first hour after that. He said there are usually 3 or 4 guys there every day waiting for him to unload the boxes. They put in a limit of 4 boxes per person. He also said it is corporate policy that they will not raise prices just because they can't meet the demand for an item. :23_28_100s:to them on this point.

You still don't get it. I don't want to sell them, I want to use them in the future so I never have to buy them again or have to take a trip to the store because all that costs money; I just put them in a box and label it. I bought them at a price that I could afford and I don't want to pay 5 or 10 dollars a bottle in 5 years. I did the same thing with ammo although not anymore. Try not to be a flaming a$$ every second of your life. Like I said you are free to do what you want but intentionally buying everything in the store so the price goes up makes you something of a dick. if you don't believe me go to a gun show/store or ask the guy behind the counter what he thinks of your ammo speculator "business". My guess is you will get an earful. Don't talk your arbitrage crap or blame Obama because you all are the ones driving the price up on purpose. If everyone bought what they needed for their use there would not be such a shortage, this is entirely driven by speculation. You certainly have a right to do what you're doing and I don't want to put limits on it because I'll let the market correct it. It's a free country and you can be a jerk about it if you want and buy up all the .25 and 30-30 even though you don't even own the gun.

I'm not rich. I think that the economy is so far gone that we're VERY likely to see an extended period of civil unrest in the not too distant future. Going forward, my goal is to have a constant surplus of 5k rounds for any caliber weapon that I own. That includes 7.62x39, .22LR, 12 gauge, and .45 auto. I couldn't back up the truck when things were cheaper because I was a college student living on a limited income. Does that make me an a-hole?

Actually if you believe in free markets, they SHOULD raise the price! That way there would be incentive for the ammo manufacturers to raise capacity / work extra shifts to meet the demand / pay bonuses to their workers. Then, I guess the majority of folks these days have given up on the idea of free markets. As for me, I've just about given up on getting ammo from WW. I go to work very early each day, and by the time I stop by WW on the way home, they're out of what I'm looking for - .22LR bulk packs, 9mm, and 38 spc. I could kick myself 'cause back in January I stopped by the ammo counter and they had several .22LR bricks. I only bought one. Almost makes me want to buy a gun in an oddball caliber so that I can get at least some ammo! I guess I'll just place an order at Sportsman's Guide and hope SHTF doesn't happen until AFTER my order is filled!

Oh, I do believe 100% in a free market But IMHO the ammo market, and indeed the entire US economy is far from free. Most of WW's competitors have raised prices, And I agree that in a free market that would be the right thing to do. The law of supply and demand is irrepressible. I was just applauding WW's policy of not "profiteering" from the shortage. I bet WW's cost for ammo hasn't increased. If it had, I'm sure they would pass that along to the buyers. This is the kind of thing that WW bashers have desired for years, The small local business owner (gun shop/sporting goods) has an advantage against Big Bad Waldo World in this market and they should be dancing in the streets. They should be recovering their "lost" customers and profiting at the same time.

No, I don't think so. But I don't think you are the one who is wiping the shelves clean. It's the guys who are wiping out the whole store just to sell it somewhere else. They make it a point to leave nothing in the store so the price goes up because average people can't get it at WW anymore. I don't know how you think 5k rounds of 45 auto is going to save your life any better than 1k but that's another thing altogether.

One word, practice. I can burn up 1k rounds in a month. It will be 5 months running before .380 hits the shelves again. That means having 5K rounds would be a minimum amount to hold to weather a shortage.

Saw the same sign at the local FacadeMart today. The case contained one box of .25, and one other obscure rifle cartridge, like 25-260 or something. I guess we will have to wait for the prices to come down considerably before there will be more stock, right BFNelson?

------------ Whether or not it will be rapid inflation or gov't regulations that may prevent us from our right to defend myself and family or just shooting at the range; I prefer to be prepared for any contingency. Therefore, I will buy when it is available, the amount I want and at the price I feel comfortable with at the time. Thank you for your concern.

The one nearest me stopped selling firearms a long time ago. I figure it won't be much longer before they stop selling ammo as well. It's probably too much aggravation for them now anyway.

Yeah so you panic buy ensuring that you will pay triple for everything instead of buying a few boxes a week at a low price so everybody gets some. Shrewd strategy guys. Perhaps if you actually thought this through you'd realize that you need only a few rounds to defend yourself. How many shots do you think you will be firing in anger in your life...really? 100? 1000? lol People are panic buying because they might tax ammo, how bad exactly do you expect the tax to be? Double? Triple? Because you're already paying that tax, it's called the idiot tax. Paying 3 times more for something because everyone else is - that's dumb. If these people were actually shrewed investors they would have bought it when nobody else wanted it and they would be dumping it onto the market right now. That would actually be intelligent and profitable and it wouldn't harm anyone. But as usual (silver anyone?) we have the geniuses buying en masse at a premium, it doesn't make sense any way you slice it. You think they might tax ammo so your solution is to drive the price into the stratosphere? Huh? The more you hoard it the harder it is to find affordably and the less you'll be able to practice. If you think they are going to stamp serial numbers onto the cases well you won't be able to use unserialized ammo at the range anyway so the point is moot.

Are you a smoker? You strike me as a non-smoker. If you were a smoker and you rolled your own cigarettes, you wouldn't be working the tax angle in your argument the way that you have. Do you realize how much Obama increased the tax for loose roll-your-own tobacco? I'll assume you at least know your math and just show you the chart below. http://www.dfwtalkscancer.org/Tobacc...09%20FINAL.jpg The new taxes took effect the first of April. And Obama is a smoker! He's damn sure not a shooter. What would stop him from doing the same with ammo? And, yes, I stocked up on about 5 pounds of tobacco before the tax hike. Does that make me a greedy hoarder? Maybe. But, anyone who doesn't like it can lick my yam sack! I saved a few bucks. As far as rounds being fired in anger, I'll leave that up to people who wish to do me harm. I would be firing back in self defense, not anger. And if you don't burn up some rounds at the range for practice, those rounds you fire in self defense will be worthless. Ask anyone whose job requires them to carry a firearm.

Nah I don't smoke, that's just throwing your money away IMHO. But it's really irrelevant because they will make the old ammo illegal, if you are caught with it my guess is they will give you a decade in the can. You won't be able to shoot it at the range if it passes so there is no use hoarding it except for if you want to hide it. Even if you were to do this you could do that over time, there's no need to clean out the store. I'm not upset about people buying rounds to shoot at the range, I'm ticked off about speculators cleaning out the store on purpose. Walmarts in my area just instituted a six item minimum at the ammo counter which seemed to improve things. At least this week there were a good amount of.22 bricks a bunch of .308 and some 30-06.

Could you imagine if they put a six pack minimum at the same counter on cigarettes, or beer? It's not hoarding unless you've thought about all the ways they can do it. You don't need all that beer sir, you're gonna cause an accident. Or upset the reinheitsgebot. Also, you're gonna give yourself lung cancer. Drop that other carton and just check out if you'll please! Oh and only one hamburger at the drive through. We don't want any fatties here. If Wal-Mart had their druthers about them they'd be shipping ammo tut-sweet into their stores. They don't give a sheet about the people they sell to. If that was the case, they wouldn't do the 900 lb gorilla job on their Chinese vendors. If they really did give a rip about the USA they'd stock stuff Americans were MAKING and buying. With or without the hoarding reservations you so speak of. Hey man, that capitalisim. Guess Wal-Mart wants a different version. I hear they've got stores in China.

No what walmart is doing is capitalism. See there are a lot of people who probably go there for ammo who also buy other things there. If those people consistently find they can't buy any they get frustrated and stop coming as often and they lose a lot of potential sales in other parts of the store. There is no advantage to walmart to allow speculators to buy everything so they can mark it up for a profit and then have the majority of their customers get stiffed. The ammo is selling itself so it is in their economic self interest to let everybody have a bite. I actually bought a brick of .22 this week and a box of .308. I could have cleaned them out but I only bought one. I told the clerk at the counter I appreciated the policy, he seemed to like it too.

Re: Local WallyWorld Ammo Gone...??? If we get hyperinflation in our currencies what will happen to ammo then? I would imagine it would even be more scarce and jump much much higher in price...all at the same time that the ammo makers find it increasingly diffult to buy raw materials at the most recent price. We may have just seen the beginning of ammo scarcity.

Re: Local WallyWorld Ammo Gone...??? The one I stop at regularly for ammo (the only one on my "shopping route") was at least worth a trickle of Blazer and/or Winchester value packs of 9mm. I had a good run for a couple of months on those, but as of last week they are 100% bare. They've never (never being the last 6 months) had .38 or .357. On the rifle front, I was doing OK with the 30-06 Federal, but that supply is totally exhausted and now gone. They did have a couple boxes of Remington left, but I'm not paying $25 per 20 round box. They also had one lonely box of 7.62x39, but again, it wasn't worth it for over $1/round. There were a few bricks of 22lr there, but I don't have a rifle that fires it. On the shotgun end, there are crazy amounts of 12 and 20 birdshot, but no buck. Not surprising, though as it tends to be a seasonal order for them. My other Marts are down to nothing but birdshot... no rifle and definitely no handgun (if they carry ammo at all.)

Ghost Recon | 05-12-2009 11:42 AM
Re: Local WallyWorld Ammo Gone...??? I picked up 500 rounds of 38 WWB at the local WM the other day. Right place at the right time. 380 is still very difficult to find anywhere at a decent price. The local indoor range had it yesterday. $38/box of 50!!!! Made in Serbia. They said that $38 was their cost. I didn't buy any.

Not everyone goes to the range to shoot... I've only been to a controlled range once in my lifetime. We always headed out to the woods and shot against a backstop when I was a kid... Now I head out into the desert and pick a good looking mountain to shoot against. No one out there checking any of the ammo I bring to the "range" I can shoot ball/tracer/incendiary/etc and no one is around to say anything about it. So by your rationale since it'll be illegal to take it to range, I'm still allowed to horde and stockpile since I never shoot at a range? Correct? Big Country

Sure, I'm pretty sure the stuff with the stamped cases would work too... I kind of doubt all the people cleaning out the walmart have their own private land and are worried about microstamping - they're just a bunch of jerks trying to corner the market. Not quite seeing the genius of building a stash at these prices, you're late to the party Some people think the new tax will make the ammo 82 dollars a box but I really don't see it. If they catch you with all that "illegal ammo", private range or not they'll put you under the jail. You'll have to bury it anyway. I don't think the people will stand for it and even so there would be a lot of black market stuff out there. Don't forget, absolute gun control means the return of guys selling uzis and hand grenades out of their trunks, right now most people are content to buy the weapons legally available but all that goes out the window if they ban things. Cheer up, there's always something out there.

Re: Local WallyWorld Ammo Gone...??? I might as well get the non-stamped ones while I can right? before prices go up from the stamping which will raise the price since its expensive to do on the bullet. I haven't paid inflated prices. Wal-mart hasn't raised their prices and all 1000 rounds that I've shot and all 3000 rounds that I have stockpiled at the moment have come from wal-mart -- all blazer brass and Winchester value packs. Its all 9mm and I don't have that much trouble finding it if I check early in the morning on my way to work. They have it about once in 5 stops (better then most at walmart from what I've read), and I've bought a minimum of 350 rounds and a maximum of 1500 rounds at a time. I also don't shoot on my personal private property, but I'm currently in the market to buy some for that purpose and others...its all public use lands that we shoot on. Unfortunately they have implemented a 6 box limit, so I'll have to buy the 100 round value packs from now on to make sure I get a good chunk of rounds each time. Big Country

I don't know how you think 5k rounds of 45 auto is going to save your life any better than 1k but that's another thing altogether.

That's what intelligent people hear when confronted with moral issues. Your brain is so big and sophisticated and you understand so much of what you hear that it all somehow gets efficently translated into mushy sounds and knee-jerk cliches that don't really apply to the issue. You're a regular genius.

Re: Local WallyWorld Ammo Gone...??? WallyWorld has TONS of ammo! BUT... You have to use the "secret password"!!! When you go to the counter, just say: "hopscotch makes me pink and dink." They'll take care of you then! :s9: P.S. Be sure to share your "success" stories here based on using this secret password! :)

I started taking the gun I want ammo for the most with me to the counter. They've become most accomodating.

Re: Local WallyWorld Ammo Gone...??? I'm here to report that the ammo shortage is OFFICIALLY OVER!!! I drop by my local WALMART very nearly every morning since February, and there is virtually no 9mm ammo. Occassionally a Winchester white box here or there, and lately, ONE box of Blazer Brass. This morning, I kid you not, 25 (TWENTY-FIVE) 100 ct Winchester White, 15 (FIFTEEN) 50 ct Winchester White, and ONE box of Blazer for good measure. Six box limit, so I got 5 of the 100 cts, and the box of Blazer (I'm cheap). I will hit-it again on the way home from work to see if anything is left. There should be a different counter guy on shift at that point. I am finally GOIN' SHOOTIN" AGAIN this weekend!!! Its been so long that my Stainless Steel CZ is starting to RUST! J/K

Riiight, how many boxes of .380 were on the shelf? Oh, yeah, ZERO.

New2This | 05-14-2009 03:01 PM
Re: Local WallyWorld Ammo Gone...??? I did not even look for .380, since I don't use it. They had a good amount of 40 S&W Blazer, though. Only noticed that cause it was next the the Blazer 9mm. They've had one box of Winchester .357 SIG for like a month now. On of my coworkers says that's because no-one shoots that specific type. He has a .357 Magnum Revolver, so I would guess he should know.

Re: Local WallyWorld Ammo Gone...??? Went to wallyworld where I use to buy trap ammo and was surprised that they no longer sell guns and the all ammo is behind counter or in counter and not much of that. There was birdshot only in 12 & 20 and a few boxes only of 300 winchester 1 box of 100 of .40 cal and a 50 count 380. No bricks of .22 just a couple small 25 count specialty .22. Stock guy said once they sell out the hand gun ammo that's it and it looks like they don't plan on restocking anything too me, even the rifle and shotgun ammo.

voodoo1951 | 05-17-2009 09:36 AM
Re: Local WallyWorld Ammo Gone...??? Well they finally went w/ a 2 box limit per caliber and I was able to grab a whopping 2 boxes of 50 rounds each .22LR for $3.77 OTD...:signs1:

TomD | 05-17-2009 11:55 AM
Re: Local WallyWorld Ammo Gone...??? I checked at the local Wally here yesterday (May 16). Slim pickings, some 50 round rimfire and a few boxes of various caliber rifle hunting ammo. Counter guy said he got a big shipment middle of last week but it was gone instantly. He never knows ahead of time when some will come in, hasn't seen 550 round boxes of 22 in "a while".

dumbnbroke | 05-19-2009 07:25 AM
Re: Local WallyWorld Ammo Gone...??? well in the cocoa beach, Fl area there are 3 wally worlds and all of them have had very little stock in the past 6 months. the clerks I talk to all say they never know what is on the truck that comes each night. but, that it has been coming in. when I ask for info on stuff like quantity or caliber they don't remember. One established gun shop on Merritt Island has been low. The indoor range on M.I. has a good supply of handgun stuff. Quite surprisingly a very small somewhat unknown gun shop out towards the cape has a very good stock of all types of ammo. What I'm beginning to think is that Walmart may be under some kind of rationing deal with it's suppliers. The clerk at walmart tells me to check in at 6am every day. what a joke. I'm sure as heck not gonna do that I'll just drive a mile or so to the small guy. If things do not change I'd be all in favor of Walmart getting out of the ammo business since around here it has been a complete waste of time and gas to make a trip to any of them to see if they have it.

Re: Local WallyWorld Ammo Gone...??? Oh boy, my local Wally today had 2 boxes of Winchester 333 bricks of 22LRs. Not a bad deal at $9.97.

Re: Local WallyWorld Ammo Gone...??? Well I dont usually buy but reload. But lately if I see a deal I buy ready made since I want to save my reloading supplies. Anyway now I have been buying at Sports chain & they have had some great deals on 00 buck $5 a box & sometimes like today 9mm $15 for 50rnd box 115 FMJ Win BUT........now they have a 4 box limit & they are a long drive away. Still was able to get 8 since I said well my wife here has her own guns too. But what shocked me is on the way home I have a little reloading place I buy from. Just got 6000 primers a month or two ago at 25 per 1000 Now it is $6 a 100 or $60 per 1000 JEEZUS !! Why didnt I buy it all back then I knew it was coming. Maybe I thought I have enough hahahahahahah

Re: Local WallyWorld Ammo Gone...??? Local WM received 1 box of ammo yesterday , the only box ammo they have gotten in over 3 weeks . 1 Value box box of 100 rem UMC 45 AUTO 230 GR. JHP for $38.97 , matter of fact they have never had any of the value packs at this WM before this one It was still there today at 2:30 so I left with it . Not sure if it was a value , but picked it up anyway .Never know when I might catch a big ol' catfish that swallowed someones .45 they lost in a boating accident.

Re: Local WallyWorld Ammo Gone...??? I hit 2 Walmarts tonight in central Maine. They have been out of 9mm ammo for a week. They say every 7-10 days they get a shipment and it is sold out usually by noon the same day. :thumpdown

Yeah that is why the sports auth store here does that 4 box per caliber per customer per day rule now. Seem's fair I guess as more folks get some. Also you can still bring the wife if you want & get 4 each etc.
