WALMART .22LR AMMO SALE, 10/04/2014
Good people,
I found out about this through Rimfire Central. I asked the guy at the ammo counter about it, today, and he was very dodgey, in his response. However, here is the ad, from Walmart's Web site:

I've been letting those who need it more buy it for now, especially at these prices. I don't shoot as much up 'frivolously' these days, though.

He's dodgy about it because if you're not there when it comes of the truck (or out of the warehouse) you won't get any.Hagler wrote:Good people,

Around here, the same dozen or so people camp out at Walmart in the morning and create the shortage so they can capitalize on it.

Let the 'scalpers' run their course (which actually is NOT a bad thing - it tends to further increased competition and lower prices in the long run).
I have enough for my needs; why buy/invest/sell...

Re: WALMART .22LR AMMO SALE, 10/04/2014
Thanks for the tip.
I was at the local WM at 7:55 and there were a half dozen ahead of me.
By the time I checked out at 8:07, another dozen had arrived.
They only had 3 cases so it's good I got there early.
This was the first time in two years that I have been able to get any .22 locally & my supply is about depleted.
The local gun shop is asking $60 / 500 rds but that is a lot more than I am willing to pay.
I cast my own bullets from scrap lead & can shoot 38 special for less than $6 per hundred.
It looks like I will be casting .22 bullets for the Hornet this winter.

Just got back from wally world, got my 3 boxes of ammo.
No long line, no scalpers lined up, plenty of ammo.

If you could buy 500 @ WallyWorld ILO their 300 rounds limit, it works out to about $40/500 rounds - still plenty expensive (about 2x normal), if you think about it.jhrosier wrote:

I'm glad I bought two cases of LR, about 10 years ago - I use it only for zeroing & hunting so I still have enough until I go for my Dirt Nap.

Re: WALMART .22LR AMMO SALE, 10/04/2014
Shawn,
Thanks for the heads up. My wife was doing some errands and had to go to Walmart for something so she stopped and checked. She got the three box limit. This is the first .22 ammo we've bought in over 2 years. The prices are a bit steep, but considering the situation we decided to grab some.

You, all, are welcome.
I, unfortunately, was unable to go to Walmart, today. I am glad that some have been able to get a small supply of this seldom-seen commodity.

Re: WALMART .22LR AMMO SALE, 10/04/2014
Wife and I made a suicide run to WM today at about 2pm. I breezed through the sporting goods and folks were still in line, getting 3 boxes of 100 meted out to them. Almost everyone I heard checking out said something to the effect of, "I don't really need any, but I haven't been able to buy any for almost 2 years so I better get some." That's what has taken so long for the supply to catch up.
I'm a tightwad, so I'll wait for the price to come down. I ordered some stuff from Midway the other day and they "let" me order a box of 325 Auto Match. I sold it on FB today and covered my Midway shipping They'll figure out the supply is coming back real soon.
The problem with the bubble bursting, is it has gone on so long that the hoarders/scalpers have made so much money, that eve if they get caught with a bunch on hand, it still won't hurt them now.

Re: WALMART .22LR AMMO SALE, 10/04/2014
Yeah, some of the managers don't want to mess with it and just sell it to the first ones who walk in so they can be done with it and turn everyone else away. That attitude has really helped drive other business back to the local guns shops. Good.

Re: WALMART .22LR AMMO SALE, 10/04/2014
I read this post in time, but didn't make it out to Wally-World on Saturday. Went in with the wife this afternoon, and headed straight for the ammo cabinet, which I always do. Was stunned, literally, to find they still had a dozen 100-count boxes of CCI .22 LR on hand. I bought my three, and a guy who came up after me both his three. Hopefully this is a good sign!
Re: WALMART .22LR AMMO SALE, 10/04/2014
I got some of that same ammo at Cabela's on Saturday. They were limiting it to 1 box of 100 rds per person, so I bought a box and my wife bought a box. It was going fast, but I do believe things are getting better. Stopped by a little country store on the way home, and they had lots of 22 ammo, normal prices too.
