if any actually shows up here locally it'll be gone before most folks are out of bed.

I was at the local Wal-Mart the other day and picked up some 357Sig ammo and the clerk said they had a bunch of 22lr in the back but they couldn't bring it out till Saturday.

[Beagle333]

Bahhhhh.... y'all can have em. I'm weaned off em now. I might dust off the .22s again when shells become regular shelf items, but not if I have to stand in line with only a slim chance of gettin' any. My rifles will just be wallhangers until then.

Dont need walmart. Local gun club stays stocked up on 22lr. Can shoot it anytime I want. They sell to members only with a limit. Have been able to buy the 235 and 335 boxes at 6 and 7 cents a round. All these walmart stores just turn there buddies onto the ammo and the customer that walks in wanting 22 lr to
take his kid shooting is just out of luck. Pretty sad in my opinion. Al

Wow. 100 packs for eight bucks. Six to seven cents per round for "exclusive" ammo doled out with limits.

What bargains. This is 30 to 40 dollars for 500 rounds. Somebody's making profit, and it ain't the guys making the ammo so much as the sellers.

Fortunately 22's are not a problem for me. One of the few times in my life having foresight in purchasing pays off.

I believe they are $7.23 @100 I bought 3 packs just to have some on hand. People were getting the 3 pack limit and then going back as a new customer and getting three more and doing this over and over again.

If it is the CCI std Velocity as shown in the add that is the normal price for that stuff. Good hi quality .22 ammo. Very accurate and reliable, not in the same league as promo .22's.

[Beagle333]

I had a friend that went for some fishing equip and he told me what was happening at the WM. There was a long line for it and they had at least a pallet of it out on the floor to sell.
If all 4,300 WalMarts in the U.S. had only one pallet.... think how much of the supply has been sitting in the back storerooms waiting for this sale.

I wonder where the other manufacturers are sending their stuff?

Thank you pietro! Any .22 ammo is hard to come by in this neck of the woods (desert). I saw your post last night and was at my local WalMart by 8:15 this morning. Between myself and my wife and kids I was able to get 1200 rds. And the clerk told me I was the 4th guy since 8:00am to purchase some. At least now I have some to shoot up! Of course my kids are in college and thought their dad was crazy for waking them up so early to go to WalMart, but they will get over it when they are out at the range.

Thanks for the heads up however none of the stores in my area have any nor have they had any.

This was a BS advertisement to get you into stores. While supplies last. They NEVER last past 8AM!

We have way too many hoarders selling on Craig's List. Where is the ATF? These guys don't have FFL's and are illegally reselling.

We have one guy locally that is selling "On Consignment" at a local hardware store. $90 for a brick he got from Walmart for $27.95! I have chastised the owner of that store several times and he says he can't get any from any supplier and some customers are buying so he has to have something for sale. He is also making 15% off the sale.

Really pisses me off that so many people are so desperate to buy this stuff. If they would just chill out for a few months, everything would return to normal,,, and you could secretly hoard the stuff to your hearts content.

BUT NO! the earth is ending soon so we must have at least 50,000 rounds on hand to survive.

I hate these people!!!!

Randy,

I wish you would quit sugarcoating your opinions and tell us how you really feel.

Yes, it was the CCI standard velocity. Clerk wasn't allowed to bring it out for sale until 8:00 AM. I was there at 7:45 AM. There was probably 250 boxes of the 22's in the bottom of a grocery cart that was brought out.

[Ickisrulz]

My Walmart still had 15-20 boxes at 1330. I didn't get any. Hopefully it keeps coming.

For the record.....

I have 300 rounds that I purchased today and I have 100 rounds left from a brick I purchased 20 years ago. I wanted some for the $50 very used 22 cal Coast-to-Coast rifle I bought recently. Not the usual 50K round guy that hoards ammo.

[Artful]

None left at my walmart when I went in yesterday later in the day but I was surprised they did have good stock of other centerfire ammo. and prices while not like pre-obama were at least reasonable for todays "new" level of value. 250 rnd Remington 9mm was $92 - used to be $55.

[snowwolfe]

I was in two different Cabelas stores recently, one in Austin TX and the other in Lonetree CO. Both had CCI 100 packs on the shelf for $8.99. Most people kept on walking by.
My brother called me up two weeks ago and told me a new local store, Field & Stream opened in SW PA and were selling 1,400 round buckets of Remintons for $70 a bucket ($25 a brick). He said there didn't seem to be any end to what they had as they just kept of wheeling out pallet after pallet.

[Ajax]

I was just in walmart and they had plenty of 22 ammo got 3 boxes yesterday and 3 today at a different store.

[wrench man]

Yes it IS CCI "Standard Velocity" Target ammo, three box limit, I got six yesterday and six today, I told the monkey behind the counter that the internet rumor was that each Wally World got 10 CASES?, he said they got 12 at that particular store, all three of the local Wally Worlds had it on the shelf!
