    I got lucky at Walmart

    This isn't the Roadhouse so get your mind out of the gutter!
    I ran across this tonight at Walmart. First I have seen there since Sandy Hook.

    They've dried up around here for the past 3 weeks. None of the 4 WallyWorlds I visit have seen any in that time period. I guess they're shipping to those stores that haven't had any for a while.

    Good. Get them while you can.

    Things might settle down and supplies come back to "normal" but, until they do, buy what you can, when you can.

    It can't hurt.

    The 1000 round boxes were $50 and change. The 333 round boxes were the same rate, five and some fractional cents a round.

    I agree Alismith. They were still doing the three box limit, so I got what you see in the picture. The wife was there shopping in women's clothing (of course) so I sent her over to buy three more of the 333 round boxes.

    There hasn't been any .22 at the Wallymart up here in years. N ever any "scores" to be found here.

    If I ever so see any 333, or 555 boxes they have internet "premium" jacked up prices.

    I still have a 30cal can filled to the top, but its a mix of 3 brands, mostly a bucket of Remington.

    I know Bishop, same here. Like I said this is the first I have seen at a Walmart in my area since Sandy Hook. I was as giddy as a school girl.

    I'm not worried too much about .22 RF. At last count, I have about 24,000 rounds. Muchof that was bought at a 3 box limit, but a friend, who visits WallyWorld every morning is responsible for most of it. He buys it, then when he needs money, he calls and asks me if I want to buy 1,000 or 2,000 rounds. If I have the money, I, usually, buy it. He hasn't called in about a month or so. I think they've dried up in his area, too.

    Since I only shoot about 1 or 2 times a year, it tends to build up.

    Recently, WW's have had mostly .22 Mags, so I've been buying that when I can.

    I've stopped going to WW just to look for .22's now. If they have it when I'm there, shopping for something else, then I will buy 3 boxes; if not, no biggie.

    I'm starting to be back into the ML stage now. I've been buying #11 caps as they're on sale at WW. Still, they're not overly cheap, but they're hard to come by around here. Again, I'll buy them while I can.

    I could only dream of having 24k rounds. I had around 3000 before tonight's haul so I doubled my stash.

    Good job. I have been finding at Cabelas , Guns and Leather, and Russellville Ace Hardware. Guess I'm up to about 5k rounds. I will never get caught with my pants down again. Unless, of course, I get lucky at Walmart.
