There was a time, not long ago, hat I couldn't find anything in the ammo case at walmart. the only thing the had was shotgun shells and occasionally a box or so of 7.62x39. but lately over the past few weeks they've had almost a full case. everything except .22lr. ive been finding .40 .223 .556 9mm .45 .380 .38. a few hollow points and lots of fmj. is this a sign that this silly scare/shortage is over? I don't know. but I like paying regular prices again.

I will be glad when things do return to normal so folks can go back to hatin' on WalMart
and calling for boycotts because they drove the LGS out of business! :rolleyes:
 
The big news at my town's Walmart was that they got two boxes/50 of 22 Winchester Magnum rimfire in. Of course no one shoots 22 WMR so they will set on the otherwise empty ammo shelves. Oh yea, they have a selection of shotgun shells.

Mine local walmart shelves seem to be stocked all the time except 22lr/wmr but it comes and goes. Yesterday i went in at around 6pm and went to the hunting section, saw every-type of ammo a militia could need and a overload of 410/12g. i bought 3 boxes of 22lr mini-mags(100) and 1 box of 9mm WWB(100), 1 box of Hornady critical duty(25) and They had something ive neversen before-2 250round bags of 9mm FMJ, they look like reloads and it was only $100 for both. My total was $193.26 with tax. 6 months ago that would have cost a whole paycheck here as all the prices were almost double and ammo was halved...Im a happy camper in VT

Pic is not mine it represents what my wamart shelves looked like when i entered

I have yet to see a Wal-Mart in the Seattle area with any handgun ammo on their shelves. They have shotgun ammo out the wazoo, but nothing for handguns. I grant you I've not been inside every single one, but out of the dozen in the area I've been in five during my work travels and have seen a whole lot of empty shelving.

I don't even look anymore. I reload so the only time I use commercial ammo is when a competition requires it. The only thing I buy at Wal Mart is motor oil and the last time I bought I didn't even check out the ammo availability.
 
im in Tulsa Oklahoma. and my wal mart is admiral and memorial. maybe it just a luck couple weeks. but things are looking good
 
I checked the Tumwater Wa. Walmart this morining. They had some 50 rd. boxes of .22 lr and a couple mega pacs of 9mm but that was about it. I left what was there for others.
 
tons of ammo in socal. plenty of 223/556 to be found at all locations i've been to. 22lr slowly making its way in and 9mm is coming in large qty every wk. ppl aren't buying the 223/556 and prices should drop soon.
 
I've had tremendous success at Walmart with 22LR -- Federal Bulk pack, Winchester 555's and Winchester M-22's...you just need to get there early...Friday mornings seem best.
 
Everything but .22 is showing up to mine. However it seems to vary a lot from store to store and ebbs and flows some.
 
We have a little more that 6 months ago at Wallys World, but about 20% of the picture posted above.

Scored four boxes of 30-30 the other day. That is rare. There were I and two other guys were asking for ammo at the same time, and the clerk went into the back room and found a box that had just arrived and brought it out for us to pick thru. Limit 3 boxes, I bought 3 and one of the other guys bought the fourth 30-30 with my money and gave it to me.

Yesterday Wally's had about 10 boxes of 22 short. I haven't seen those in a long time. Don't need them, but I may go back and pick up a couple boxes anyway.

Hhahahhhahahhahahahhaaaa!!!!!!!!!!

I will miss hearing the nutty conspiracy theories though about how the goobmint/homeland security/black helicopters are buying all the ammo to keep it out of the hands o' regular 'Mercans!!! Super funny!
 
I havent seen 22 short in 7 years... Before the last ammo panic, not that i need it but after buying 22lr for so long 22short probably would look funny.

THE, WM I frequent the most here-had about 40 boxes short--on the shelf on Sat--dont know if its still there since I have not been there since-but like you---I have not seen any on the shelf in years. I almost picked up a few as an oddity--but decided to pass.
