My sis just snagged me 2000 22lr from walmart. I see Scheels is finally getting a stock level of AR's on hand along with some primers and bullets. Powder is still a no go around here though

I haven't expected to buy ammo at Walmart since January. I do usually stroll by the case out of curiosity and see no ammo or people except occasionally 1 or 2 with blank confused looks on there face. Yesterday I went there and did my curiosity walk by and spotted 5 boxes of .45ACP. So I tracked down the guy with key in automotive dept and bought (1) box. I asked he they got ammo in in certain days and had 22lr. He said they're not allowed to order and they're sent whatever, whenever. He said they had not received any 22lr in three months and then it was just a few boxes.
 
Unless that guy was the store manager or the area manager for sporting goods I wouldn't believe what he said. All of the walmarts within 15 miles of me have gotten .22lr in at least once a week for quite some time now. It has been in larger quantities as of late but usually disappears very quickly after its put on the shelf. As for the whatever whenever thats wrong. I am friends with managers now at 3 of the stores near me. They have all confirmed there is a truck schedule. They get trucks in on four specific days a week. Ammo is usually on all trucks(not always rimfire or pistol ammo). Plus the walmart app confirms this as well. Only one of our local stores makes you go to the auto guys to get ammo and even that one had .22 on two of the trucks this week alone. The only part my sources can confirm is that its random. They have no idea what the local hub will send on the trucks until they get the bill of lading from the driver. The ammo is almost exclusively put out the following day at 7am. Even the store that was doing it at night has changed to that schedule because the ammo is getting more and more frequent and sitting on the shelves longer than normal. Fortunately for me and my wife the managers will still sell it to us out of the back room the night it comes in because that particular store excels in customer service. The two managers response to us was we know you guys come in for it and we look out for our regular customers.
 
Ammo only, Some of them sell rifles to,but my local one here does not. They had some Black Powder rifle about 4 months ago,but all gone and don't seem to be getting any more
 
Anyone know if 14.95 is a good price for Privi Partizen .308 ammunition? I'm not familiar with the pricing of .308 ammo, though I do remember it being fairly expensive.
 
20rnds of brass cased Privi Partizen 145gr .308 ammunition is $14.95

I believe it's reloadable, it says it's boxer primed (I'm pretty sure it's reloadable)

After shipping and handeling, it would cost me roughly $88.49 for 100rnds of the stuff. I'm thinking of picking up some for my monthly ammo purchase, provided the price is right.
 
I can't say for sure how that stacks up against Pre-Panic Prices, but I've seen .308 running a good deal more. I think I had to pay ~90 cents/rd the last time I bought .308, which was maybe 4-5 months ago. Prices were high, but not astronomical around here at that point.

ETA: looking at a July 2011 spreadsheet that I made, comparable .308 was running ~49 cents/rd at that time. Clearly, I should have bought a truckload then. :(
 
The highest I ever saw it pre-panic was close to $20.00 a box (I think that was PMC 145gr ammunition according to afriend of mine)

So compared to that this looked like a good deal for the most part, though I'm not sure.
 
I'd go check some other online sources just to see how it stacks up. Personally, I check CTD, USAAmmo, SGAmmmo, AIM Surplus, and a few others to try to keep abreast of prices. (I'm something of a research hog.)
 
The rack at the SuperWalmart in East Orlando:

2 Colt AR15's starting at $1097, 2 Diamondback AR15's for $847, DPMS AR15 for $617. On the other side of the rack was M&P15-22, Ruger 10/22's and Mossberg TActical 22's.
 
I found some Federal .22lr for $14.36 (325 round box) and Federal 9mm FMJ for $21.36 (100 round box) at Wally World yesterday. I put the 9mm on Armslist for $35 just to test the waters and no bites. I think that's a good sign that maybe people are at a saturation point and things my be getting back to a more normal state of affairs where I live. I didn't really want to sell the 9mm anyway, I just thought it was a good way to see where things stood.

I was going to highly dislike that til I read everything. Smart way to do it!

Local walmart been getting in random boxes here and there. They had a box of 38 special for $36(100). Parents didn't want to spend that as their last box of 50 lasted a few years.

Thinking about adding a 38 spec die set to my collection and load up some components for when they want to range shoot.

Thanks for the heads up, however I'm looking for brass cased rounds. I'm hoping to save them for when I finally am able to start reloading for myself (No space for it at the moment sadly)

So far it looks like my original source for ammo is still cheaper than most other venues. So I'll likely go about picking some up while supplies last.
 
Barnes Store in Carrollton, GA had multiple calibers especially rifle. I don't know about .223 and their suppose to get a big shipment of .22LR next month.

I actually had a brand and grain choice in 9MM self defense ammo.

They actually had a good bit of .410 as well.
