Walmart Ammo Supplies Dwindling (Merged) - Page 65

FYI

Nobody can sell ammunition after June 30, 2009 // Current

Now, I think this answers why production was not increased, others will state this is the true cause of the shortage. Indirect good new for me. Looks like a few states will be taken off the list of receiving ammo after June 30.

I have not been able to find any handgun ammo on the shelf at my local, (Collierville, TN) Walmart for months now.

I was there last night and they have now posted a sign limiting purchases to 2 boxes per caliber per customer.

IMO, the rationing of ammo is a bad development. I would rather the shelves be empty, and sooner or later the demand curve evens out.

Why post the sign when they have no ammo any way????????

The darndest thing happened today.

I walked into the smallest Wal-Mart that I have ever been in today, in a little Ks town and there was lots of 100 count boxes of 9mm and 38 spl on the shelf as well as most other types of ammo you could want. A freind of mine lives in that (undisclosed) town and has told me that they had penty of ammo there all along. Well, he was right, I confirmed it for myself today. I didn't buy any, 'cause I didn't need it, but it sure enough is there.

Since he is my buddy, I can't advertise where it is and have everyone rush into town and wipe them out. But we can all sleep well tonight knowing that at least one Wal-Mart has some ammo.

Still nothing I'm looking for at my local WM...however arrived at about 8:00 AM...found a hidden stash of bulk .22 LR HV 36 gr ammo. Considered, then put it down.

Found 800 rounds of WWB 9mm at the local wally world today- bought 600, left 200. They had some .380, .40, and .45 this morning but were sold out by the time I got there.

I wish i could find some! I spent 73.00 at the range today because i had to buy their high dollar stuff.

Results of my mid-day Saturday visit to a Corpus Christi, Texas WalMart store: no 380, 38, or 45ACP on the shelf, but dozens of 50 rd boxes of Federal Champion 9mm 115 FMJ-RN (labeled as WM5199) for $8.97/box.

Hadn't seen this Federal packaging in the past at a WalMart, only W-W white box or Remington UMC. The sign at the counter indicated a 6 box limit, but I surprised the cashier and only bought 4.

The shortage must be coming to an end. Went to my local WM today and just happen to drop by the sports counter - lo and behold they had .38, .40, .45 and .22 bulk. Since I didn't need any of most of it I elected to take one box of the .22 bulk. By the way I went in at 1:30 PM.
