ammo at walmart

Fortunately, I have been buying a little at a time for years, so I probably have a life time supply of most rounds that I use, but I have not seen 357 mag at a reasonable price in months and I am down to 1,000 rounds. For some ;reason, our Wal-Mart gets a lot of value pack 38 special and 45 apc.
 
A lady manager at one of the Walmarts I frequent, recently told me she has a man who comes in at 12:00 midnight and waits for the ammo to be put on the shelves at 6:00 AM. Whether for personal use or resale, that is dedication.
 
Scott.. did your winner really pay $5 for that single round ? good for you for donating the proceeds to rimfirecentral.

I was at wallys today and they had plnety of 30-06 E-tip in 150grn and 180grn also had plenty of 20 and 12 ga birdshot value packs. they also had a few boxes of .223 TNT and silvertip .243. among some otehr calibers. few boxes each of core-lokt 25-06 and 7mag

i ended up with a box of the e-tip 30-06 for testing in my rifle ( PRK is mostly lead free now) and i bought 500 rds of CCI Mini mag .22 they had CASES of these in the plastic 100 rd box for $6. im headed out to another county's wally tomorrow.

last time i was at the one where i bought today they had all the blazer brass 9mm .40 and .45 you wanted. the kid today said he orders as much as he can and they get sparse boxes of oddball stuff shipped in. im getting nervous all my .357s may be going hungry.
 
The transaction ended a few hours ago and I have not yet heard from the winner, but I assume (hope!) they will make good. It was a legitimate auction and the reserve was met, so if they do not pay, then we have a problem. I will probably have them make the payment directly to Rimfire Central and I will match it (or more!).

smokester I have a question for you - if you mow grass for a living for example - how much an hour should you charge? over minimum wage? any more I would consider that greed since you consider me greedy because I do not trust D C pols to not regulate ammo and I BUY ALL I WANT - it is my money - I worked 70 to 80 and 90 hrs a week for years and chose not to blow it on stupid things and now can afford ammo

I did pick up 6 boxes of Blazer Brass 9mm at another Walmart early this morning. I told the clerk that I would leave the other 14 boxes that were on the shelf for others. He said that he has a "guy" that comes by every day and buys all the 9mm.

My son went by a few hours later and they were cleaned out. Guess the "guy" had made his daily trip.

I guess each Wal-Mart gets to decide on their own. The one in Gonzales has signs up saying there is a 6 box a day limit. It'll be pretty easy for people to get around it though.

I have a guy who works there and he lets me know when they get some in. Sunday they put out 12 boxes of the 250 rd UMC 9mm. I bought one for $50. I've been trying to get up to 1000 rds for each caliber I own, and 250 rds did it. One box was all I could afford anyway. My buddy was going to buy some too, on his lunch break. He went to the drive through and was back in 20 min. In the mean time someone had bought all 11 boxes that were left along with the 3 or 4 boxes of .357mag they had.
 
ChinaSea, Let me ask you a question... Say that there is a shortage of let us say gas. And we are in line to get gas.. I have a tanker truck and you have a vehicle you drive back and forth to work or play. Now lets just say I want to "stock up" just in case and to make sure that I get all the gas that is available. Would you not be a little "tweaked" that I just bought all of the gas? Now what if the owner came outside and said.. You can only have 20 gallons so the rest of the line can have some of the gas too. Now doesn't that make more sense? We are doing this (ammo shortage) to ourselves.
 
And once again read my earlier post... I have plenty of ammo. Also we have a gun store owner locally that keeps his shelves stocked and his prices are good. I just don't feel the need to clean the shelves everytime I see ammo at the local wally world.
