Thumbs down Walmart Ammo

2 or 3 months ago the Walmart store in Del City quit selling ammo. I have checked it a few times and nothing. Yesterday I was going by Sporting Goods and the ammo stock was back and much more plentiful.
They even had 3 brands of bulk 22's.

Our local WallyWorld has 9x19 in stock consistently now, for the first time in over a year. The price is under $10 for 50.

The sad thing is, there's no selection. Want some .357? Hope you like 110 grain bullets... .38Spl? 125 grains, take it or leave it...

Still hit or miss here with WW. The only cal you can consistently find is either 40 or 357 sig.

Bought four boxes of 100 ct WW White Box .45acp ball in Lubbock, Tx last weekend. First I've seen in a long time.

WW is pretty good here in Kalifornia currently. 45 seems to be the one caliber that is still lacking and of course I have two 45's.

North Phoenix had the mega packs (yellow box UMC) 250 round .45 for $84 a box a while back. I asked how many I could buy and he said 6. Budget stretched to three - and they were heavy to carry out. Should have bought six - darn it. $16.50 a box of 50 for reloadable brass made in America. Should have bought six....

Saw 2 boxes of WW .380 yesterday, plus 6 boxes of WW 9mm at Wallyworld. Nice to see. Left them for the next guy.

Here is something I figured out.

Yesterday evening, me and the Mrs. went to our local walmart and while she did her thing, I went to the ammo counter. By golly, they had bulk packs of .22's, but the price was now $18.97!

You have got to be kidding me- they want that much for that junk? For a bit more, you can get good ammunition!

I think for no more than the price difference, I'll save my money for a case of Winchester Super-X HP's, and they are only $27.00 or so a brick, and I know they will go *bang* every time.

Yep.

The WM in our area (Poway/Santee, CA) are really hit n' miss on availability. I was stunned to actually see 1 .45ACP bulk pack last week so o' course bought it up right away. They have the "six (6) product maximum" signs up as well.

Tho' last week the one in Santee DID have a ton o' .223 and .308, and a seeming good variety of other rifle cal.

The original Wally World in Bowling Green had everything you ever wanted for a pistol, as long as it was .40 S&W, three full shelves full and nothing else. Almost convinced me to get that 4013TSW I have been wanting and start hand loading for the .45's

Walmarts in Cuyahoga County range from having nothing (depending on the demographics) to having a decent selection of basic ammo for plinking, small game and even big game hunting. My favorite Walmart has lots of .40, 9mm, 22 lr , shotsells (shot and slug) and even decent rifle ammo. I even get domestic 7.62x39 but they only get 1 box at a time and i buy it. Yes I know about Wolf and others. In rural areas its another story at least in ohio. .22 hornet and .222 remington hows that! I have learned not all Wal-marts are managed or created equal.
Some have good quality Scopes yes. Nikons and I even saw leupold once. Not too bad. Some are better than others and even the good stores can suck on occasion.

I bought a 250 round "mega-pack" of .45 hardball today at a WM on Eisenhower Parkway in MaconGa. Eighty-four-ninety-seven plus tax came to almost exactly $90 including tax. That would be $360 per 1000 rounds, including tax for Remington-UMC reloadable brass-cased ammo. Can that price be beat online anywhere, considering shipping, etc.? They had three or four of the mega-packs. I am trying to limit ammo purchases to $100 per month now, or I would have gotten a couple of them.

When will I know to quit?

Ammo in NorCal WMs seems to returning back to normal, the only caliber that is still a bit hard to find is 45acp.

Our local WW actually had some 9mm for a change. 50 rounds or WWB was $13.97, 100 rounds was $23.97 and 50 rounds of Federal was $9.97

I also noticed the Walmart 22 bulk pack of Ferderal 22 LRs had jumped about $3.00 a box for the Federal 550 pack. Still cheaper than Cabelas which is selling the 525 pack of Federal LR for right at $20.00 per box.

I try to limit myself too. All those other necessary items like toilet paper, soap, paper towels, garbage bags, clothing, etc. get in the way. Walmart is great for that stuff too. But seriously the ammo is usually priced right. Rimfire ammo is usually a good deal. I also get 22 mags there too.

Yeah, I'm a little irritated with Wally Word pricing! The WWB 9mm 100 rounds of target ammo used to be $19.97; now it's $23.97 so I buy the Federal 50 rounds for $9.97 when they have it. I did notice just the other day our local Wal*Mart removed their 4 box limit tho...

Had to go to Walmart this morning for other things and decided to walk by the ammo display. I'll just be dipped if the display case wasn't nearly full of all the stuff I use. Since I had gone to the range yesterday and burned up a bit of lead, I bought a 100 pack of WWB .38 Special and three boxes of .45 Auto Federal Champion hardball.

The Walmart in Conover NC had something last night that I haven't seen in a loooooooong time. CCI STINGERS.

They were priced around $5.50 for a box of 50, and they had about 20 boxes on the shelf. Midway and Cabelas both have Stingers listed as long term backorders, so I felt fortunate to get my hands on a brick.

I think WM will get out of the ammo business in CA as soon as the new law AB-962 goes into effect. It's yet another reason to get out of this state.

Stood through the grand opening of a Denver suburb WW this morning. They had all sizes in stock. Although limit two. I got the first two of six boxes of .45 @$32/100. Worth the wait as all the other WW in my area are always out of stock.
Give me a W!...They are a happy bunch.
