WOW, this late in the day is almost unheard of around here. What general area of this great land are you in?

Long time reader (in the Pistols forum), first time poster. This forum has been extremely helpful to a new 15-22 owner. I haven't shot it yet because ammo is so scarce. I did manage to get a few expensive match grade rounds (.14) at a LGS. Sometimes persistence pays off, and sometimes you get lucky. The wife was going to Wally World to get a few things, so I asked her to see if any .22lr was in stock. She's bringing home 2110 rds of Winchester at about .04 a round. Be encouraged fellas.

I know. She got it around noon. I'm in Birmingham, Alabama. I've been to that walmart a few times a week with no luck. She goes in for paper towels and scores.

I've come to the conclusion that is the secret to finding ammo. I'd been looking for 9mm for over a month with zero luck. The wife goes to wallyworld for laundry detergent and comes home with THREE Remington 250rnd value packs.
But on the same note, I know several Army guys here who spend their entire day working online and shop for ammo 8hrs a day with no luck. two weeks ago I logged on here saw the post and got 3 cases of Federal Automatch from Cabela's. Pure luck. But everybody got some, still had enough left for the scouts and we all had a good day at the range.
 
Picked up 3 225rnd boxes this AM @ local Walmart just by stopping by after work last night. It's hit or miss.

I see your from Titusville, I stopped by that Walmart this morning about 8:00 am. They said they had got some in but was gone before it hit the shelves. Just curious what time did you stop there?

0750...there were 5 boxes when I got there.
 

Those are the most ridiculous prices I have ever seen. I can't believe people like that can sell the ammo at that price and sleep at night. The Remington sells for $23 at the local Walmart. People like that should lose their distribution license!!
 

I posted about them on another site earlier today because they were charging $6.25/round for Black Talons. I laughed so hard I almost peed my pants.

To avoid a scolding and make my post topic related, yesterday I saw bulkammo.com briefly put up their "Bulk Rimfire Ammo" link and it listed .22LR, although nothing was in stock. The link has since been removed. I've been there off and on refreshing since, because I figured they may be getting some in and were getting the site ready to post it when it did. I could be wrong, though.
 
I've been having luck at small pawn/gun shop's.

I did notice that a lot of pawn shops are now selling guns, accessories and ammo.

I've had better luck at pawn shop stores then Walmart or gun shops. You have to think outside the box sometimes...:rolleyes:
 
So here's how this went down I checked walmarts website to check on the availability of 22lr ammo assuming what all of us know to be true...out of stock. However to my surprise they listed Remington 325 rd packs as in stock in 3 of my local walmarts. Cha Ching or so I thought. I called all 3 and instead of asking for sporting goods and getting the same disgruntled employee we talk to all week I asked then ice old lady at the front counter to run the Walmart UPC and see if they were in fact in stock. All 3 nice ladies told me yes. However they all put me through to sporting goods or a manager to cover their tail. And all 3 backup associates told me that they were in fact put of stock. The last manager I talked with I attempted to get to the bottom of it. She told me they are not hoarding ammo what they have is on the shelves and the one I frequent which I know for a fact they stock their ammo at 930pm the manager told me the best time for me to get it would be between 8 and 9 am!! I've watched the, crack open the boxes at 930pm. I only thing I can think is a. The ammo shows up in their inventory before they receive it because I know they get their trucks at 9pm every evening or b. which I've heard from an inside source which I didn't believe was true until this encounter was that they keep the ammo in the back and put it out as they see fit and they actually are hoarding it. I'm heading up to Walmart now to do my usual hang around the gun counter until the ammo comes in so I hope that the first one is true and I will be rolling in 22lr after all this is said and done. I will update as the Walmart associates feed me the bs.
 
I noticed my walmart saving ammo under the counter for people. When I asked about getting on the list I just got the run around and was told I needed to speak to the manager. I wonder how much is even making it on the shelf. lol
 
I'd take the time to speak to that manager and if he is "in on the list scam" send a note to corporate.

a walmart, 50 miles round trip had 223`s/federal/100 rd. ,$34.95 as per the walmart internet. called, they had 2 boxes left, and they wouldn`t hold them for me. didn`t go. tonight found 2 stores w/ them listed, local walmarts, called, but not in the sporting goods shelves. so if they have them posted on the internet at the stores, are they coming in, or someone got them, maybe going to ebay? thoughts, info and maybe this has happened to someone on the thread that has seen them on the internet, but not at the store. thanks for any info!!!
 
Here you go... says in stock..the limit is 1...not cheap, but not as high as I've seen lately.... $42.00 plus shipping


Remington Golden Bullet .22 LR ? 525 Rounds of 36 gr Plated Hollow Point Ammunition - Keepshooting®

$10 shipping plus $2 tax for me...i live 15 minutes away from them and it won't give me an option to pick up. It definitely won't be around tomorrow when they open. Dagnabit!!

Can't stomach the fact that I'm paying that much for shipping down the street. Even though 10 cents/rnd is not bad nowadays, I still couldn't do it. I'll go without for now.
