It has been spotty for the last few months. But lately, the local wally world has been pretty well stocked up on 9mm, .38, .357, even .380! The only caliber that they have been having trouble stocking is .44 mag. Rifle ammo, and rimfire has been abundant as well.

I lucked into some 100 rd Winchester white box .380
at my local Wallace World a month or so ago.
They haven't had any more of it but other stuff
is coming in more regularly.

if it wasn't for WalMart we wouldn't have such a trade imbalance with China . . . Arkansas Communists are worse than Illinois Nazis . . just my 2 cents

If you want to go to your local mom & pop gun shop and pay $20/box for 9mm ball, that's your business. I'll be stocking up at Wal-Mart for $9.47.

I have been buying the Federal 9mm, .40S&W, and the .45 ACP.I went in the other day and saw they were stocking Federal 55gr .223 and 150 gr .308.

I need to go back and see if they have the Winchester 2.5" and 3" .410 shells.

not trying to start an argument but the mom & pops have become an endangered species thanks to the Arkansas Communists . . but I've been reloading and casting my own bullets for the last 30 years

Did you take note what the 44 mag was fetching price wise?

They have ammo because they are still charging $.40 a round for .223 while everywhere else ammo prices continue to fall. Hell, they even just raised the price on 9mm Federal to over $10 a box, I can get Winchester Nato 9mm for $9.

That's just it, if my local gun shops didn't try and rape me on ammo costs, I'd buy it from them, but I'm not going to pay twice the fucking cost, no way. Yesterday I bought a box of Federal Game-Shok, High Brass, 12 gauge shells, 2 3/4, 5 shot, 25 shells for $10.00. It would have been twice that at the gun store where I bought my shotgun.

I have noticed the local Wally World has a good supply of ammo which should mean that the panic buying has ended. Usually that would mean prices coming down but Walmart has raised prices in the last few weeks.

Guess standard economics doesn't apply to ammo, and not only Walmart. Most places are still charging crazy high prices.

I don't know about every caliber, but on hunting ammo this isn't a good time to buy unless they're running a sale to intice you into the store. That's how I usually buy shot shells. Wally's here usually puts Winchester on sale right before hunting season.

They said it was a NEW product to wallyworld. I needed very little persuation to buy one and leave the only other for the next guy.

wal mart sell 9x18?
O.S.O.K.

Not that I've ever seen - they stick to the top selling calibers only.

Yeah, certainly not here. I make a rule of not getting involved with any caliber that Wally's doesn't carry. If they don't have it, then it's too esoteric for me.

Ah but the Makarov... the Cz82. Too esoteric? Naw. :) Just requires a bit more planning.

Now the 8mm Nambu? OK, too esoteric.

This is good practice. But have any of you seen, or do you see .44 Special at Wal-Mart? I would think this would still be a fairly common round.

I see .44 Mag. pretty regular but not .44 Special. But then again I haven't really paid that close attention until I was considering buying a gun in this caliber.

Ah another great example. I love the 44 Special and I care not if Wally World stocks ammo for it.

Handloading is our friend... :)

Not sure Darrell, I've noticed a good choice in 44mag, but I don't think I've seen the special, but I've not been looking for it either.

There's just really no good reason to plan for it, you can do just as well in a caliber that's easy to locate. I prefer to buy my stuff local, and in this area things lean more toward the hunter, not the gun collector.
