I did it!!! Walmart had ammo!!!

[garand4life]

I went in to the Walmart in Steubenville, OH which is 15 minutes from my house tonight only going for maybe a movie and some more shotgun ammo. Typically I buy about a 100 rounds of the Federal multipurpose loads and in so doing I thought for laughs I would look and see if they had anything else I "needed". Low and behold I see not 1, not 2 but 3 boxes of 100 rounds Winchester white box 40S&W for $28.99 each. So in a moment of clarity I run to find an employee who could provide them to me and in so doing I spy a box of Federal 55grain FMJ .223 for $35 with 100 rounds. Of course I bought all 1 box and at that point between my 12gauge , 40s&w and .223 I reached the newly instated maximum of 6 boxes of ammo. Which was fine that was about all the cash I had on me. So as the guy said that was all he got in this morning and he didn't get anything else on the nightly truck. They didn't have any .45acp, 9mm .380 but plenty of .308 and .30-06 as well as plenty of 7.62x39. So I'm thrilled!!! Best of luck to everyone else!

FYI the Mossberg M590A1 I just acquired shot wonderfully with everything I put through it. 00Buck mil grade grouped well, 2 3/4 rifled slugs shot good offhand groups at 50yds of about 6" and the 3" magnum nearly took my shoulder off so HAHA!! Wonderful lil' gun

Great find!  I went to my local Wallyworld, and literally, all they had was a box of 7mm, and one teeny little tumbleweed a-tumblin' along the ammo shelf towards the paintball gear.

Geez,
I thought I "scored" on finding .22 mag CCI (of which I haven't seen in 2 months) @ Wally.. Maybe there's hope after all....

Yesterday my WM had lots of 22 CCI MiniMag and about 24 boxes of 9MM.

Sabot slugs are pretty kool out of that gun too.

Congrats on the new shotgun. I am dismayed to here about the 6 box limit though. Does that mean you can't buy shotgun shells by the case, or is just one big box?

Since ammo went wacko, every trip to Wal Mart includes a drive by the ammo counter.  I have a job where I have to chance to stop by a lot of different towns so my luck has been better than most.  One gun shop I stopped in was selling 100 rds of white box Winchester .45 for $54.00 with a strait face.  I rolled into the Wally World the next town up and got it for a more normal price.

Out of curiosity I just went over to Cabela's web site and looked at ammo.  There appears to be better supplies than I have seen in quite a while.  Things may be looking up a little bit.  Prices haven't come down, but they haven't gone up either.

I can never figure out if the big box of 4 25 pack boxes counts as a case. Its one box with 4 smaller boxes of 25 shells each and it counts as 1.

while i was at a local cabelas today they had good selection of defensive ammo for handguns and plenty of .223 from black hills and others as well as the bulk .223 for $119 with 250 rounds. Not sure the manufacturer of the ammo though. But overall I was much more impressed by what they had and prices weren't bad.
