I'm right with you. I found a 15-22 at Wal-Mart 30 miles south of my town. Went back Tuesday and bough it for the same price you paid. Had to drive to a gun shop 30 miles north of town to find .22 LR ammo. I was thankful to be able to buy 4 bricks of American Eagle .22 LR HP. I went back yesterday and the limit was down to 2 bricks.
I have not been able to find a source for magazines. If I see some I'll let you know.

Cool. I let a buddy of mine know. Between the 400rds of 45 at wally world, 500rds of 45 from sgammo and the 420 rd can of 5.56 from cabelas, im tapped out for awhile.
Pm me if you are out and about and see the 550 packs of 22lr from walmart.
Thanks

Will do!! And since you're local, I have no issue grabbing it for you and getting it to you. I'm self employed and travel a ton as well. So I am constantly checking. When I'm on the road!

Checked two stores tidy, nothing to be found. I asked the sporting goods guy in the second store and he said they have been getting in a few cases every but they are gone in an hour.

Hard to believe. It would be taken off the shelves as fast as they put it on right now. Any ban wouldn't be coming any time soon.

I took today off just to hunt down ammo and goof off. Hit every "Mom&Pop" GS's,Wally Worlds and Farm Fleet types of stores with-in 50 miles (3 large Cities). Found Federal 550's,CCI,9's,45's and 5.56 ammo. Didn't wipe anyone out,but found enough just to find it. 5.56/.223 are the hardest but out there. Some stores have limits you can buy on most ammo. It's there,you just have to hunt for it.

No way. My local gun shop tells me that Walmart prices on ammo are low, like other items, because they mercilessly pound their suppliers on price. He said he cannot compete on price, other than he sells stuff easily if Walmart is out.

They also stopped selling all the accessories for the Sporting Rifles too. I also quit going to Dick's.

Greensboro's 4 Walmart stores have been out of .22lr of any kind since before thanksgiving. I occasionally can find Tulla or WB .45, good luck finding Federal anything here.

Ours are no longer "bare" however that are limiting customers to 3 boxes per day per customer

The local radio station here in Southeast Kansas reported the other day that "Wal-Mart headquarters in Bentonville stated they were considering not stocking any ammo at all in the near future". Of course this made the ammo on the shelves fly off immediatly! Our Wal-Mart has just started selling guns again after not offering them for several years now. There hasn't been any new guns replaced in the display cabinet and the ammo shelves are becoming bare as well. The excuse given for the quit of ammo sales is "they don't want to be stuck with banned ammo"...really? I asked our store manager(who is a friend of mine)and she said rather bluntly..."that's not something I can talk about"! Pretty weird stuff! In our area we aren't close to a larger outlet such as Bass-pro, Gander mtn, Academy sports, these are all at least an hour and a half to two hours away so I sure hope this madness comes to a stop soon! Good luck to everyone out there during this "Ammo Hunting Season"!

Just came back from my local Walmart and there was 9mm, .40, and .45 to be had, but no .22 or .223.
The DSP next to it had all of the above, though so score for me.

Check a 3rd
I continued to check 2(one which I lucked out once at got 8 boxes of 223) the other, just random handgun ammo, mostly 45, but the 3rd I decided to check at twice, the second time the guy said they get 9mm all the time, I told him ive been looking everywhere!
Got 4 boxes of 9mm and left about 8 behind for other shooterssambuh

Thanks, but they are out as of today. Went looking for some SD 9mm for my new shield. They were out of that as well.

Last night after Bible study, there's a Wally world near by. I had a apple sauce craving. I rush to the sporting goods section & the clerk was stocking. He put 12 boxes of Federal 550 bulk ammo pack for 22LR. With the new rule I took the 3 boxes limit.
My wife was like, you didn't come over to get apple sauce you came for ammo. I did get my jar of apple sauce. So I didn't lie. LOL

Check the walmart.com website and search store availability. While it may say in stock it may by arriving on a truck that day or being stocked in the evening. Ive been using this system lately and ive been doing well. You might not always catch it but tonight i stopped at 3 stores after 830pm and each store had someone stocking ammo.
And depending on who is working the counter they may not know or care about the limit. That being said i picked up 6 bulk packs of CCI ARtactical at the 3rd store and i could have bought as much .223 or anything else for that matter but i thought id let the next guys have cracks at it.
So use that website to your advantage....its been paying off for me

im using it too, but it goes fast..i checked Thursday night saw they had some at the local walmart, i was stoked to say the least, go in there about 8am friday morning and it was all out, i asked the lady she ssaid it was cleaned out with in an hr or less. had 10 boxes of Winchester 555 and 10 boxes of Fed. bulk and some CCi and Remington gold bullets. but i am noticing the stores are getting their stocks more frequent and a lot more at a time.

This is good info, and as a result of this post, I scored 3 boxes of Federal .22 ammo. One of my local Walmarts got a truck in last evening so there was ammo on the shelves when I went this morning. Quite a bit of pistol ammo, no .223, but some .22 which I was happy to see.
Guess the trick is to go late in the evening or in the morning.

My Walmart had the 550 boxes.. I got three and my wife got three!! Always good to have her support!
Awesome! Glad to hear it worked for you. Maybe we have cracked the Walmart ammo code!!!! Now just to keep it semi quiet so there aren't any heavier evening stampedes
Here's what I'm thinking is going on...they stock in the evening after the truck arrives and when there is an associate because like one of the workers told me they cant wheel it out like the rest of the pallets to sit there and get to it at some point during overnights...it has to be locked up in the case right on the spot. That might not be 100% the case but makes sense to me anyways.
The other stores bps/cabelas etc only stock in the early morning before the store opens (used to work there while in school)

Scored ammo at 1:30am this morning and again at 7:30 am this morning at Walmart. 3 boxes of Federal 550's and 4 boxes of Winchester 555's followed me home!! Paid $21.77 ea for the Federal and $23.17 ea for the Winchester.
Interesting you got it at 1:30 and at 7:30 in the morning...all the ones around here will only sell ammo 8AM-10PM. The counter is closed other than those hours...and of course all the ammo except shotshells is locked up.
When I got several thousand rounds recently I had to wait 45 minutes for the counter guy to show up at 8...sat on a stool right in front of the case the whole time, nobody was going to beat me to it

The case was closed and locked up and no one was in sight, so I went and found someone. They just opened up the case and asked me what I wanted. The register is closed back there so they will escort you to the front register to pay for it.
