Is my Walmart being sneaky?

[David LaPell]

I know that at our local Wallyworld the clerk was calling his buddies (I know one of them) when the ammo came in and it was split up between a few. The same day the UPS comes in the shelves will be bare of .45, 9mm, and .40 S & W by the end of business. As for me, as long as I have primers and brass I have ammo because I cast my own bullets and load my own ammo. The only shortage I have is time. Before my surgery I went on a casting spree and waiting for me are hundreds of cast .38 bullets in everything from 125 grains up to 170 grains. In the last year I have loaded up 1,000 rounds plus of various .38's and .357's and I have not had to pay for anything but primers and powder, all my wheelweights were given to me. You want to avoid shortages? Load your own ammo.

This morning I snagged a 100 round box of 40sw UMC HPs at Wally. Yesterday I bought a box of 50 9mm Champs and a box of 50 40sw Champs. I went to the range and shot the Sigma 9mm. Been a long time since I've shot it.

I'm going to sit on the 40s and add to 'em while I go shoot my 9mm.

I have discovered some online sources for ammo. Ammoman for one has 9mm Seller and Bellot 1000rds for $239.00 shipped total.

another source is SD Ammo in Arizona

Another recommendation for ammoman.com

I reload many pistol calibers but needed some 9mm (short on brass to reload)

Ordered Monday, arrived today.

I don't reload and don't have the desire to do so. My hat is off to all those that have undertaken that task.

Until recently I'd troll three of my local WM's looking especially for the FC 9MM 100 count box due to it's low price as compared to the cost of two 50 count boxes. $19.97 for 100 versus $11.97 for 50. The 100 count boxes got to be as rare as hens teeth. Got tired of coming home empty handed, so I turned to the internet and bulk purchasing. Cost is relatively equal for me.

From what I'm reading I must be really stoned out of my head right now.
