[pea shooter]

fed 22lr

OF THE THREE LOCAL WALLY WORLDS TWO WERE 18.47 BUT THEY WERE OUT. tHE OTHER ONE JUST STOCKED THE CASE I GOT 9 BOXES FOR 15.47. I THINK SOMEONE FORGOT TO RAISE THE PRICE BECAUSE THESE STORES ARE WITHIN 15 MILES OF ONE ANOTHER.I AM ALSO WELL STOCKED.

no gossip, but fact! Ammo increased across the board here in S.Cali at the Walmarts i've visited today!

price increase

I have stopped in 2 WM in last 2 days here and no price increase yet, but they have no new stock either. wWe will see what happens when the truck comes in.

i wish i could just find it in stock. i paid a ridiculous price last week at a gun store just to try out a friends .40. i had gone to two walmarts and an academy and they had none.

Straight from the horse's mouth here in Maine. I stopped the other day to pick some Federal 550 up. They were out of stock and the cashier @ the sporting goods counter told me when they do come in the new price will be $18.97 (or something like that.)

I stopped by my local pusher's on the way home. He stocks up on the bulk packs and sells them for $20.00. He knew nothing about the price increase so I was happy to give him an extra buck instead of Wal-mart getting it.

local Academy - Winchester 500 (or 550) was 18.97 today. i know last time it was 16. something.

another local walmart. federal and remmington 550rds. .22lr was 15 and change. 9mm fmj for 50 rounds were almost 18 bucks! that was the only 9mm they had and there was plenty but that is more than the shooting range i go to. not to mention i cannot shoot fmj at my local indoor range. do outdoor ranges allow fmj?

I thought all the ranges in the DFW area allows 9mm FMJ.
Especially when that is the most common factory 9mm load.
If yours don't, what kind of 9mm do they allow?

i only shoot currently at an indoor range. i am getting ready to switch to an outdoor range which i suspect allows it.

The one in Plano and Garland are both indoor.
I go to the one in Plano and I am pretty sure most everyone there shoots the 9mm FMJ.
The range ammo that they sell there is also FMJ.

Increase to $19.97 in Houston, TX

Just went to two different Walmarts in southwest Houston and both had increased the price of the 550 pack Federal .22 to $19.97...

A couple of days ago it was 15.47, an increase of 30% which stinks.

Glad I previously stocked up 8K rounds, just wish I had bought more.

They still had the Federal 9mm 100 pack for $19.97, probably just a question of time before that goes up too.

 

[doc11542]

50 box of Federal 9mm went from $10.97 a box to $11.97. Federa 550 22lr went from $17.97 to $18.97 Dollar increase across the board for me. The 100 boc of Federal 9mm is still at $19.97 but never in stock.

Ammunition, like every other product sold at any store, is delivered by a truck that runs on diesel fuel. Have you noticed the prices on fuel, especially diesel fuel? The prices on everything that we consume will go up as the price of fuel goes up. It is not just the price of the fuel to get the product to market, but to get the materials to make the product to the manufacturer. And if the product contains any petroleum product then it is a double whammy.

The impression I'm getting is the retailers are trying to start another panic buy situation. I've heard a bunch of rumors about ammo AND guns. You can bet your bottom dollar all that high priced ammo is going to be at bargain prices next year after Obummer is gone.

 

[rburg]

I'm not betting on anything being bargain priced in the future. Yes, everything is going up. I don't think its anything sinister at all. Go fill up your gas tank and tell me what you paid. The only thing cheap is borrowing money, and no one wants to loan it. I'm guessing it will be 5 or 10 years of inflation to begin to pay for our governments folly these past 3 years. Wait till Obamacare kicks in and we have to pay for 30 million additional people who won't pay their own. No new doctors, just that many more patients. Don't like waiting? Too bad. Don't get sick.

Everything but Federal went up at least $1 per box at our WalMart in FL.

 

[rojodiablo]

Huntington Beach Ca. Wal Mart just stocked the ammo bins to the hilt. No price increase yet. Federal 308 blue box and brown box.....$17 ish bucks. Same for 30-06 and 30-30. 250 rounds Remington UPC yellow box 9mm is like $55.
The guy was stoked; they have been pretty bare on the shelves for a little while. It looks good fully stocked!

South florida - coconut creek walmart, I just picked up 5 cases of the 100rnd .40 federal this morning... Price went up from 24.98 to 27.98.

I didn't approve of it but needed the ammo!

Right now I have about 200 of 9mm, 550 of .40, and 500 of 5.56... Don't think I'll be able to afford anymore for a while!

Federal .22lr 550 round bulk went up from $15.47 to $19.97 overnight !
The counter lady said that in stock guns went up 30 to 40 dollars, including guns that have been in inventory for up to 2 years .
