WalMart has dried up here again. Even the .22 short is gone. Another gun show this weekend so I am sure the ammo that had been here will be seen at the show.
A couple boxes of .380 Federal 95 grain FMJ looked lonely so I gave them a home.
A local walmart to me got in more than 6 ammo cans of .223/5.56 and NO .22 a few days ago... Seems the "truck night" for those is the Tuesday night truck... Will have cash in hand tomorrow FIRST THING when they open hoping for some more 300+ count boxes... All 3 they allow me to buy...
My daughter will need to buy her 3 box limit too...
Just got back from Dick's. 9mm WWB $15.99; 9mm UMC 19.99; 45 Blazer 21.99. 3 box limit. They didn't seem to out of much but there wasn't much of a variety either. It was hard to see behind the cabinet doors. My LGS has some cheaper 9mm Bull $10.99. I'm gonna try a box & see if it works in some of my guns.
Walmart in Morgantown, PA had some 9mm (50 count only), so I bought 3 boxes, as is their current limit. It won't be until spring that I have everything I need to reload, so I need to buy it when I can. All 150 rounds will be gone by tomorrow morning at 10:30 after some IDPA classification practice.
They finally ran out of CB shorts & .22 shot shells at the local meijers. I know they had a shipment in from the last week as the number of .17 HMR doubled. walked away with a box of #6 Remington bird shot for some patterning tests.
Dunham's 7 boxes of PMC bronze 9mm 124gr FMJ $13.99 and 1 spam can of 7.62x54r(used 10% off coupon)$108. I felt like I hit the lottery with the 9mm. Current tally 1500 rds .40S&W, 1100 rds .22lr, 2 spam cans(880 rds) of 7.62x54r and 350 rds 9mm. Have to really keep looking for the 9mm stuff since I just bought the wife a Shield 9mm for Valentines day and it's going to disappear faster than usual from our supplies.
Went to my local Wal Mart to get some cat food, thought I would check out the near empty ammo case. To my surprise, they had 6 boxes of Winchester 5.56, 55 grain FMJ. bought 3 (all I cold buy) for $12.00 per box. I drove home, ( about 3 miles) got my wife, went back, and the other 3 were gone. You have to be QUICK!!
Hit the local walmart last night as the clerk was bringing out a cart of ammo.
bought 3 boxes (100 rnd ea ) of w/w 9mm 24.99 bx. Had my friend p/u 3 boxes also. Right place , right time.
Shooter:
I was skeptical about all the ammo shortage posts. Thought it was a localized phenomena. Stop by Dunhams today to see. The has some ammo but nothing near what they normally have. Guy behind the counter said they got a shipment in yesterday, and before that he only had two boxes of center fire on the shelves and some shotgun ammo.
Plus which, they used to have a dozen or so AR and AKs in the cabinet. None there now.
My local Academy...went from having a shortage of 9mm/223 and now the shelves are about 80% full of shotgun shells. Then 22LR/40/45/308 got wiped out. I think this ammo shortage locally anyways is now getting into all common calibers such as 38/357.
I picked up 1000 rds of Federal .40s&w for range ammo online. I was shocked to actually find some in stock. Most of my lgs either have a limit on ammo or the ammo you buy there can only be used at their range.
