Friday, I was early picking up my kids at Walmart over at Sun City, Fl. I had already been at 5 other W. that week. No Ammo. I decided to go and check what the hell I had time.

I get there and they are loading ammo from from a secure cart. Three guys in front of me. 3 boxes of 45, 1 of 9mm and a case of federal 22lr.

I am thinking I am buying the whole case. First guy buy all 3 boxes of 45. The second guy buys the 9mm. Right before I ask for my boxes the clerk put up a sign that limit 3 boxes of ammo per purchase.

I was pissed. I bought three and asked my ex-wife to go and buy another three that was it.

A couple of towns over Walmart had a grand opening. I decided not to attend the opening ceremony, knowing that the shelves on opening day would be filled with ammo. Several days later when we were in the store I asked the clerk at the gun counter how was the madness? He smiled and said the line was long and after the first costumer purchased many bricks, they decided to limit sales to 2 per person to give as many people a chance. The clerk said that he has no idea when they will receive product back into the store. He said the best thing to do is call. I checked on-line and within a 50 mile area all Walmart stores show no 22LR ammo available. I do not regret attending the madness.

Saturday nite i checked online locally and found 1 wally world having 22lr in stock, called=they had a shipment of ten boxes but wouldnt be putting it out (if they indeed had it) till the next morning, they advised to call in the am. I show at 6am Sunday, I'm the 2nd guy in the store and see 3 different guys walking out with ammo cans....evidently there was a shipment of 40 cal in the can on special. i picked up 3 (limit) of the 555 which left 2 boxes on the shelf. i think the employees are clean sweeping what little is being shipped before we get a shot at it.
Timing may be in your own interest

Found federal bulk 100 packs the other day of 9mm. 3 box limits I'm well stocked on 9 but I picked up 2 anyways. Seems like stock is returning slowly.

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.

Ive scored 2 more times since my last post using the walmart website availability and going around 9pm or so. Moght have to wait just a little while but I dont mind waiting while they wheel out pallets to stock the store. They bring it out along with the rest of their overnight stockings in the other departments.

6 more bulk boxes of federal bulk .22lr. Ive watched when they had the lower quality bulk and passed on it a couple times that I was there. Really seems like its coming in alot more often.

Good news. I just found CCI AR Tactical .22LR at W'Mart here. And it was at the pre-panic price. The manufacturers seem to be catching up a little after the normal Holiday shortage and panicky paranoid buyouts.

My local Walmart was bare for a month now, and yesterday I got 300 rounds of CCI Minimags (the last boxes), but they had more Minimags and Federal Automatch in store before I got there.

Local WM's are getting ammo in but in New Mexico it is actually illegal for stores to limit sales. One by my house got a ton in this morning and two guys bought it all up before I could get there. Approx. $2k worth of ammo of .22lr, .223, 5.56, 9mm, etc. all gone in 5min.

Glad to hear some of you are having success in finding ammo using the website.

It doesnt seem to be making its way into the KC area.

I've been checking on a daily basis and nothing.

I have 20+ Walmarts in my area and the well has been dry.

Once or twice I've found an instant were the web site list ammo as in stock only to find bare shelves. The site isn't updated on a regular basis so the info isn't always accurate.
