Just found this info so will share it with my family ONLY.:bigsmyl2:
No need to drive all over, wait in line, etc. Walmart is the best option.
There are two things you can do, but first understand how Walmart works. Each location gets a truck or two at night, usually before midnight, they then stock and rearrange displays all night long. The manifest of the contents delivered by truck are "accepted" and once this occurs everything that is coming in is automatically listed as "in stock" for that location. It is updated on the hand held scanners and their green screen inventory.
Al you need to do is:
1.) Hit the Walmart website, preferably between 2AM and 9AM. Select "Sports & Outdoors" category and search for "ammunition" not "ammo" or 22LR, etc. Walmart has intentionally "botched" the website so that the stock status of most ammunition will come up as "store information not available."
However, you can do some trickery and get around this message by altering the web page to get the inventory status. I use Firfox but the method is the same in any browser. When you're on the page for the ammo selected use Tools > Web Developer > Inspector. Hover your mouse over the "store information not available" words and click on it. You will see in the lower portion of your screen the code behind this message. Look for <div id="STORE MESSAGE" style="display: none; " ></div> and select it. On the right side of the lower screen you will see element {display: none;} When you hover the mouse over this a checkbox will appear, uncheck the checkbox. Once you uncheck the box, look to see that the message "store information not availavble" changed and you should now see the stock status AND be able to select "Find in another store" This allows you to find the ammunition at other nearby stores.
Now the easier option, but I explained the above because not everyone has one...
2.) Use your smart phone and download the walmart app. Again search using the full word "ammunition" and you should see all the different ammunition sold by Walmart. Now just as they made finding inventory status on the website difficult, they tried to make it difficult for the phone app but it is a much easier work around. With the phone app if the ammunition is in stock they try and hide this by putting up a message that says "inventory status unavailable." What this basically means is, the ammunition is there in stock. If it says "out of stock" it truly is out of stock. BUT there is also a button that you can select that says "more stores" and it will show nearby store stock status. Remember, "inventory status unavailable" means it is there.
