Walmart Ammo Thread

[Emptymag]

I get chased out from behind the counter at my local Walmart all the time.

If there's no "rope" I walk back and browse. If they have it roped off, I respect that. Most of the time.

I should call someone back there one time and just start pointing and asking what it is - over and over.

"What's that one?" No - the one next to it. Oh, well what was the first one then? How many rounds is in that box? And what's the one in the green box? How many grains was the last one you looked at? Do you have any 22 LR? Which ones are hollow points?
Then point to shit I've already asked about since I can't see it.

I was in Cranberry tonight but I can't say what they had - it's in a glass cabinet down near the ground BEHIND the counter cabinet with no way to get near enough to even see what caliber is printed on the boxes.

thats when you say screw it and head over to field and stream!!

Wow, for the first time in years, I found .22lr in the Mechanicsburg Walmart. I scored a 500 round box of Thunderbolts for $25. Five cents a round is ridiculous IMO but given how much it's been selling for lately, I won't complain.

I drove in the entrance closest to that store. I gave it the stink eye as I drove by.


On a completely unrelated note, I made the observation that it was clear that we were not in the east as everyone else seemed to be driving luxury cars and SUVs. At age 20, I'm pretty certain our Cavalier had to be the oldest car on the road up there. LOL

By who? In every Walmart I know, you can't find an employee to save your life.

I found fed. Auto Match 325 bulk at Morgantown limited me to 3 boxes. Nice guy standing around offered to "buy" 3 for me. I didn't take him up on it. Let some for others. Same nickle a round. That's about the new base price for 22. This was on Friday evening.

Looks like Walmart is done with Perfecta. Never had a single issue with it and the price was great. Guy at my local store said the contract with the supplier expired. Their $10 9mm option is now the federal aluminum, which I can't shoot any any of the three indoor ranges I go to.
That local store (exton) hasn't gotten any ammo in a month. The handgun ammo side of the case is completely empty.

I think they noticed from their cameras. I was behind the counter for about 15 minutes comparing 12 and 20 ga. shotgun loads for myself and a friend. I was also checking out the handgun ammo just to see what they had. An employee came around the corner and seemed to know I was there before he said anything. I did make a comment about never having anyone around to help but was not mean or angry in tone.

The local Wal-Mart in Erie( West Ridge Road) had Federal 325 packs for $18.47 including tax on Friday. I picked up one for my self and one for a friend. There where 6 more boxes left in the cabinet. They also had 300 packs of CCI 36 gr. copper plated HP's for $19.99 + tax. 50 packs of 40 Gr. RN. for $2.47 and a couple of other selections. The case was full of just about every other type of ammo .380, 9 mm. etc. I would be willing to bet that if I went back today most of the .22 would be gone.

Tullytown Super Walmart once again had 22lr ammo for sale, that's 2 Saturday's in a row, been a long time since that's happened.
They also had 6 50 round boxes of Perfecta .223 for under $15.
Their ammo cabinet was well stocked
