The Walmart Ammo thread

Elvishead:

Low and behold the Walmart next to me had 16 box's Fed 9mm for $8.97, to bad it was 1am, I really wanted to try some out.

Ohh, and one box ot 44mag/50 Rem's, $32.97, and a few .25aps.

24hr later.

The 9's are gone but the 44s and 25s are still there. To bad I couldn't get the 44s at 12:30am.

Is there a policy about not selling ammo after a certain time at WW? If so, they certainly don't enforce it here in my area. I purchased some of this ammo at 12:30am one night. (my allowed 6 boxes) With well over 30 boxes still left. (9mm) I arrived less than 6 hours later on my way too work. ALL WERE GONE! Yep.... ALL OF THEM! There was an aweful lot of .40 Win. bonus packs as well. There were 2 left of those.

Maybe alot of you are having trouble finding sales assoc. to get into the ammo cabinets? I for one, won't stand for that kinda ****. If it's there, but no BODY is. I'll get pretty uptight about the situation. I'm a say it as I see it type person. So, I'm not the one to leave sitting at an ammo counter for long periods of time.

Also, for those of you that take customer service seriously. And you can't find a sales person in sporting good at WW. (the norm) Grab that little phone on the counter, pick it up, hit the page/intercom button. And start bellowing "does this store have anyone working in sporting goods, RUDELY. Believe me, a store director will hear this and tear someone a new ass. The standard floor walker at WW doesn't give 2 squats about you. However the store director whose lively hood is a result of their employer (corp. Walmart) Will take this seriously.

Some may consider this going over the top, but if you've been on the waitting end of the stick like myself. And you have had one of those employee's say let me find someone, to never see them again. This method seems to work like a charm.

I kind of lead a double standard when it comes to WW. I for the most part "WILL NOT" shop there. Unless its for ammo, or some extremely well priced electronics gadget. I won't run out the door to WW for a loaf of bread or a package of socks etc, etc. I'll go to Kmart, Meijers, or Kohls for those types of things.
Sorry, but thats just how I roll.
 
Hit the jackpot again

Ok,,2nd time i have had luck...albeit the 1st there was not limit so i bought a case of 9mm blazer :).

Normally shop in sw OH, was in nw OH, went to lacal ww, had everything..i mean everything. and twice the storage area of anything where i live. they had 9mm in 50 and 100ct, and .40, and .357, etc, etc. I bought the 6 pack limit of .45 100ct, $29.98. Still left about a dozen on the shelf. thought about going back, but seriously, how much ammo do i need???? I do think that sometimes we get cought up in the chase...yesterday i found myself thinking i should go to ww....then realized, what for??
 
Mal-Mart

Have soft spot in my heart for a business that will sell a three month perscription of a generic drug for $10.00. I hate going there, and then only on a specific search for something I can't get elsewhere. I found out one thing; If they have what you need, it's a lot cheaper at Wal-Mart. They also have stuff you can't get anywhere else.
 
I was out running around today and decided to drop in on the Wal Mart in Lodi, Ca. (yeah same one as in, Stuck in Lodi Again), and check stock. No .22 RF at all, but got lucky with Federal .40 S&W 180 gn FMJ for $12.47 and Federal .45 ACP 230 gn FMJ for $12.67. I bought all they had, 6 boxes of .40 and 2 boxes of .45. I may be greedy, but this is the only factory ammo I've seen on the shelves for a long time, and I'm getting tired of ordering online and getting backordered.:barf:
 
I was surprised to find a decent amount of ammo here in Federal Way at the pre-November prices all except for .45ACP at 20 dollars for 50 rounds :(
 
They had several bricks of Federal Champion 22LR and CCI mini mags in PA. I bought 2 bricks of the Federal and 200 rounds of the CCI. Now I'm set as far as 22 goes....hoping for some 9mm.

It's like that here in the Walmart in Kingston, NY. Can't generally get ammo after some certain time a night. I'm not sure if it's policy, or simply that they have only certain employees allowed to man the small sporting goods section, and they don't have those people on during the skeleton crew hours. I've meant to ask that, but I really don't see how there would be much point.. as the people I've talked to at the ammo counter at walmart don't seem to ever have the slightest idea whats law vs. walmart policy vs. totally made up stuff they heard somewhere.
 
A few months back was at the range and I got talking to a guy. Naturally the conversation got around to the ammo shortage. He said he has no problem getting ammo he has a friend that works at Wal-mart:eek:
 
Finally found 9mm at my nearest Walmart. Got some Federal for $8/97/box, but just barely.

Went after work yesterday and the man behind the counter, real nice older associate, said they sold their last box a few hours earlier but had about a dozen coming later that night. So this morning I swing by on the way to work and don't see any, but a couple of women are stocking items. I ask them and the one woman said she hasn't seen any. I mentioned what the man told me last night and she goes 'must've already sold them then'.

During my lunch break I just decided to stop back by. A different lady was behind the counter and said she hadn't seen any 9mm. As I was about to leave I saw the associate I spoke to last night in the next aisle stocking some items. I asked him if the 9's came in and he goes 'oh yeah, they're right over here' and walks me to the counter where they are still sitting in the bigger box waiting to be put on the shelf. The lady behind the counter then blurts out "well, nobody told me we had some".

Anyway I bought 4 boxes but if I hadn't saw the older associate as I was about to leave would've missed out again, even though they were sitting right under my nose as I was told twice in the same day that none came in or "they must've already sold them".

Some of these people don't even try to look or help. Oh well, I guess next time I'll just start looking through the unopened boxes myself if they are stocking and don't have any on the shelf.
 
I just returned from a trip to North Carolina and Florida and scooped up as many boxes of Federal Champion 9mm Lugar rounds as I could find. It was hit or miss but they kept getting in new supplies each week, so I shipped some home to Connecticut and carried several boxes in my check in luggage. I fired this ammo with my FNP-9 and it was flawless. For $8.97 a box, you can't go wrong.
 
I was in Walmart after 10pm this evening and they had at least 15-20 100 count boxes of Winchester 9mm on the shelf. They were $19.xx each.
 
My walmart had about two cases of 40, a case of 9mm, and a few boxes of 45, 357, and 357 sig. Walked off-yawn.

It's getting better here. They have some 9mm, .40 and .45 just about every day now. They have the 100rd WWB for 18 bucks and the 50round federal is like 8.50. I think the .40 in Federal was 12.40 something per 50. Not that bad.
 
I think I'm finally ready to say it's getting better in Tucson as well. Wally World is usually out but they do get some in every week - you just have to catch it. Sportsman's warehouse has been getting a huge shipment every week and it's gotten to where some is actually sitting on the shelves now - .223, .45, 10mm, 9mm, .44, .357, .22LR and .38 special all available with no box limit (at reasonable prices as well) when I went in today.

.45 Colt still hard to come by however...

I managed to find some 100 round wwb 45 at my local walmart last week. There were 4 boxes and I took 2. There were also some Remington 100 round and 50 round boxes of 45. They have a bunch of Federal .40 ammo and a few other odds and ends. It was the most I've seen there in a long time.
 
My brother wanted some 40, so I went back to Walmart tonight. They still had a lot of the 40, but not much of the rest. They did have a LOT of 223.

Then went to Academy to stores down, and their shelves were full. Priced better at Walmart.

How does the federal 9mm or 40 compare to the Blaser Brass? Is it dirtier? More accurate?

Fields - I've fired both Federal Champion and Blazer Brass in 9mm and find them to be about the same. Neither is dirtier than the other and I've found that I can be a bit more accurate with the Federal Champion. Good stuff for $8.97 a box.
