Ammo Report- Erie Area- Post any finds here

[Truckman]

The board has been pretty quite lately, I'll be in the area next week for a 45 year class reunion, I was hopping the ammo situation was better in the Erie area.

Depends on where in Erie you'll be, how much time you have to travel around, and how far you're willing to go. If you're driving up and are willing to make a slight detour, there's another place or two I can send you.

Couple boxes of .380 and one 9mm brassmaxx at harborcreek walmart as of 9am.

1 lonely box of .45 personal defense @ Edinboro Walmart this afternoon, did not buy don't have a 45. That was it for handgun ammo, had some 270 and other rifle ammo, did not pay too much attention, only shoot 22-250 and had none of it.

It is like the pictures of Russian markets I remember seeing when I was kid. It is like this in every sporting goods section at the 3 Erie Wal-marts and even at the well known gun shops it is the same.

40 and 45 in stock a peach st Walmart & they took the glass front off one of the ammo cases... Strange!

[Jason In Erie]

maybe just maybe they are getting ready to stock the shelves tonight?

I dont waste my time with Walmarts...its still on the buddy system and I dont support people like that.

I have to correct you on this at least for the Walmart by the airport the ammo is put out at 7:30 when they have it. I know absolutely no one that works there and almost every time I go in there after work I am able to get ammo.

Been awhile since I posted an update.

Edinboro Outdoors has lots of .40S&W- Magtech and blazer brass, $23.99 a box for 50 and save a buck if you buy two boxes.

I also saw some rifle rounds there, im not too sure on the caliber, 7.62 and 5.56 i believe they were going for around 13 bucks for a box of 20.

I haven't hit up the Erie Walmarts in awhile, but I can say they are not hording for friends. Like ive mentioned eariler, you just have to get them when they come off the truck and get lucky.. Walmarts get like 4 trucks a week, and usually 1-2 shipments of ammo per truck, of those.. theres a small chance theres handgun ammo.

Ive scored .380 value packs, as well as 9mm and 40 winchester white box value packs.

I was in East Tennessee last week (Bristol) and got really lucky. Went to buy a printer for a jobsite and they had one Remington UMC .40 MEGA PACK ( 250 rounds) for $90.00. Also had 100 round value packs for 24.99 (9mm) and $34.99 (.40).

Be creative when a 3 box limit can be anywhere between 60 and 750 rounds.


As far as the Erie Area goes:

.40 is much more common now
9mm is still rare
.380 is VERY RARE
.45 is VERY RARE
.22 is non existent

2 weeks ago I was at waterford flea market,and someone was selling .380 ammo same as what walmart was selling at $19.00 a box. he was selling for $38.00 a box. People like that should be hung up and whiped.

Its just like anywhere.. some dummy will buy them.
Those dummies aren't us =)

What infuriates me the most are the ones that buy them at cost, mark them up by 200% then try to tell you you are getting a deal by them giving you 50% off.
