Bare Shelves at my Cabelas

The Cabela's in Allen,TX just got a load shipment of CCI 22LR 100 rounds Mini mag for $8.99 each but limited to 1 per person.

Same at the Columbus OH store I stopped at this weekend. They only had 5 boxes left on the shelf when I got there. I also ended up getting the last bottle of HP-38 powder (not bad @ $21.99), a couple of boxes of 9mm for my father, a powder trickler and a holster for my M&P. They did have about 40 1-pound bottles of various rifle powders (several for .223), kinda surprising.
They didn't have any .40 bullets for reloading, but still had a good trip.
 
The new Cabela's here has ammo, occasionally, if you want to show up at 7:30 AM and wait in line. Local Gander Mtn went through an entire promotional skid in 2 hrs. I snagged a couple of boxes of .45 and 3 boxes .22 short at Wally World over 3 trips. Figured I'd rent something different at the range and have some fun without depleting stock. Wanted to try some wheel guns.

Thought the .22 would be good for getting the ladies started. Bought 'em pink ear muffs & safety glasses and some Zombie targets... silly but they're looking forward to it.. LOL.

Here all W.Ws and other places except for those who sell at gun shows-are always out because the scalpers are busy early birds. Wally World as per what I was told from someone at their HQ in Bentonville, Arkansas--said they are not supposed to be selling ammo before 9am--they sell out here all the time by 6am.
 
I visited Cabela's, and Bass Pro last weekend.......the only thing on the hand gun ammo shelves was some .32 cal ammo.....not that I need any ammo....just checking things out....this was in Kansas City

Semper Fi
 
Cabela's had everything but 9mm and 22lr tonight. Prices seemed about where they used to be when not on sale.
 
Yesterday just for the heck of it I went to my local Cabelas "Lacey,WA" to see if things had changed in a couple months. They had. The shelves for pistol ammunition were so bare they put empty ammo boxes on the shelves as space fillers.

I was in that same Cabela's last week on Tuesday. The ammo shelves were as you described them, except they had a number of boxes of the dreaded, 500-count 22LR Remington Golden Bullets. I picked up a couple of those. It made my week!
 
Is Cabela's starting to backorder their online sales? I never had that happen in the past. How reliable are they in shipping backorders when the arrive at their store?

Good to know. I have not had a chance to return. Thanks for the update. Brian
 
I dropped into the Kansas City Cabelas Tuesday on my way to Lincoln Nebraska. I pulled into the lot at 8:50AM, and the line was pretty short, maybe 15-20 people waiting. Manager came out and let us all know they had plenty of everything including 22LR, just to behave, not push, and everyone would get a brick if they wanted. They had Golden Bullet, and Winchester Super X bricks. I grabbed a brick, and a case of 5.56 for a buddy ($499 + tax =$545!!!) and three boxes of 9MM for $14.99 each. I was surprised to see so much ammo in one place. They strictly enforce the 5 box per day rule.
