22lr ammo at Walmart

[jsizemore]

Saw 10 bulk boxes of Winchester Super X HV 22lr at the local Walmart today. 300 rounds for $40.16/box. 40grain 1280fps. I didn't buy any since I'm still shooting $2.50/box CCI SV. Still, good to see some ammo making it's way to the area.

[Gtek]

Yes it appears things are coming back to shelves, still hard for this old man to jump on 16 cents a round 22 though.

[Mk42gunner]

A month or two ago I saw that same yellow box at Walmart. However I bought the same thing at Academy for $34 and change.

Disappointing that it is bulk packed I was hoping for fifty round boxes.

[tja6435]

Walmart near me has Federal 325 packs for $21.14/ea, no limit. My buddy got 10 boxes today and said they had 40+ still on the shelf.

[murf205]

I just found (and left them there) about 40 boxes of CCI std velocity LR in 50 rnd boxes at WalMart. $4.45 for a box of 50.

[Budzilla 19]

Local Wal Mart here ( in SW Louisiana) has Federal auto match for $18.35 per box of 325, limit three per day. Not too bad, if ya need some .

[Blood Trail]

Our Walmart shelves has been stocked with .22 for the last 6 months.

No one is touching it. We’re saturated.

Same price here east of Baton Rouge

[Rodfac]

Here in La Grange, KY, the local Walmart had the Super X Winchester HP, 300 count for $40.16. They also had a dozen boxes of Federal Auto-Match solid 40 gr. (325 rounds) for $21.16. Rod

[Geezer in NH]

Wal-Marts around me have none and have not had any in the last year.

[jsizemore]

We've had none in the box stores around here for a couple years. I paid $500 for a case of Eley Target a few years ago. I sure ain't gonna pay more than that for Win. bulk. Or any bulk. I'm saving my money for primers.

[HawkEyeEarl]

I picked a box of Super X Winchester Power Point, 300 count, 40 grain, 1280 fps for $40.16 in the pretty yellow box at Walmart.

And I picked up one more box of Federal Auto-Match solid 40 grain, 325 count, 1200 fps for $21.16.

There are still a few boxes of each there.
I expected it to go quicker since it has been so long since I saw any 22 ammo there.

[turtlezx]

with walmart you need to hit them up 2x per week never know when the show up

and no 1 there will tell you when
auto match are the way to go the winchester your just paying for the pretty box

[Dieselhorses]

I bet there's a few of you who remember the blue box with the lightning bolt on it (Federal). I used to pay .99 for 50!

Well, sort of- I remember saying to myself that I would never buy it again! :shock:

That stuff leaded up a S&W 617 barrel terribly, for me.

I remember getting curls of lead out of the grooves!

Might have been a fluke, but I still remember it well…

Yep!

[Outer Rondacker]

My local wal*mart (hour away) has so much 22s it won't all fit in the cases.

[Shawlerbrook]

Would that be the Amsterdam store ? Down our way it still is very spotty.

[jsizemore]

I bet there's a few of you who remember the blue box with the lightning bolt on it (Federal). I used to pay .99 for 50!

But do you remember the red and black box Federal Lightning that was before the blue box? I shot that in silhouette matches for 5 years. I'd stop in whatever town's Walmart that happened to be hosting a silhouette match and buy 5-10 bricks for $8.90/brick. We'd finish the match and any kids that wanted to shoot could get one of the competitors to loan him or her a gun and shoot till they were tired. That was about the most fun I'd have all week. And it would only cost me 89¢ a box. The stuff shot great in my contender.

[Gtek]

I have a Western Auto red and white box with a 43 cents sticker on it! Geez I feel old again!

[Minerat]

Walmart near me has Federal 325 packs for $21.14/ea, no limit. My buddy got 10 boxes today and said they had 40+ still on the shelf.

Walmart on 72nd and Sheridan in Westminster CO had them for same price $21.14 probably 50 boxes on shelf. I left them.

[Dieselhorses]

We can blame scarcity on Homeland Security LOL. They supposedly bought up millions of rounds saying it was supposed to be for "practice" ammo.

[15meter]

Red and white Federal bricks of shorts. Gave my neighbor $3.15 before he went to work at Chevy's in Toledo on afternoons. Next day I'd have a brick of 22 ammo for executing sparrows and dirt clods.

[yetavon]

My old neck of the woods, Graduated from the HS... I hope thats the correct answer BIL still lives up there and always looking for 22 down here.

[Outer Rondacker]

Yes the Amsterdam store. The newer Johnstown/Gloversville store was fully stocked up on .22s also. Amsterdam has a three box limit per person. Gloversville has a two box limit. Glenns Falls and Saratoga same thing fully stocked with Federal Winchester and CCI. I'm still on the hunt for the elusive primer.

I will also add that last week I was in Runnings in Gloversville and the case was FULL. 9mm 45acp 22s Rifle ammo up the wazzo. Prices a bit high but .22s are a dollar cheaper then Walmart and 9mm was 19.99 a box of 50. Loads of 223/5.56. Once again a two or three box limit. Bring a friend.

Walked away from a brick of these yesterday. Dead guy stuff. The buddy who was cleaning out the stash was asking $50.

Thought that was steep for 50+ year old ammo.

[Outer Rondacker]

I honestly never liked superX much. Always been a federal guy. Just not that blue box stuff.

[Jsm180]

3 box limit here for for the Federal Auto Match, 5 or 6 left after I got my 3 @ $21.16 ea.

[ddeck22]

In Northeast US, the limits are gone You can get 20 boxes of 22 if you wanted. And some days they do have 20 boxes.

[Ohio686]

I have not had any luck finding Auto match at the local Walmarts.

[FergusonTO35]

Is it true that Walmart quietly started selling pistol ammo again? I haven't darkened their door since they announced they would no longer carry it a few years ago.

[Texas by God]

The folks who shoot .350 Legend, .450 Bushmaster, and 28gauge factory ammo are in luck at our Wally world. And those that want the yellow box $40/300 .22 ammo are in luck as well. And those that need $10/25 12 gauge D&Q loads, too.
Everyone else? Sorry.....

No pistol ammo at walmat. Texas by God what you say is the same here but problem is you can not afford that 350 legend ammo or 28g at my walmart. I grabbed up until the new year Legend ammo for 9 bucks a box, the same box is not 28 bucks.

[dverna]

Auto Match at the prices shown above is not too bad IMO.

[murf205]

Yes I remember and also remember the Remington 22 LR;s I bought at the local store for 30 cents and 22 Long for 25 cents! 50 of course, that was the only ones they had unless you bought the Rockets or Thunderbolts-25 to the pack- in the chewing gum packs!297214297215297216

Memories when I see these.

[Newtire]

Yep!I remember getting shorts for .55, longs for .65.and l.r. for .75. I think hollow point l.r. was .78.

[Outer Rondacker]

Shooting buddy in Dayton Ohio just paid $19.46 a box for the federal auto match. The store had ten boxes, so he took them all. Interesting how the same chain store has different prices depending where you are.

On another not I was at the Queensberry NY walmart a few days ago and saw Remington 525 bulk packs for $79.99. That is not a misprint.

[imashooter2]

We were in the local Walmart last night. Always walk over to check the ammo just because. They had one lonely box of Winchester 333 for $54 and a couple boxes of 16 gauge (didn’t note the price).

You think you're old: I have a 50 round box of Sears "Ted Williams" .22 LR.

[Murphy]

I remember back about 2008 pre presidential election, Federal bulk 36 Grain Copper Plated Hollow Points, 550 rounds per box, $8.88 cents. Then, the .22 rimfire drought hit. When it started coming back, good ole' Walmart never dropped the prices below $19 and change. And that sure wasn't Federal's fault. Why do I have this feeling it won't be any different this time?

Murphy

[uscra112]

In 1958, not only were shorts fifty cents a box, but at 12 years old I had no trouble buying a box at the village store. If I had the money!

I would love to have a few of the gold boxes of CIL Long Rifles that sold for 25 cents when on sale at Otasco in about 1963-64.

[Wild Bill 7]

Walmart here in Cape Coral has Federal auto match for $21.16 per. Picked up 8 boxes so far. Shoots great in our 10-22’s. When my wife and sister go to the range it keeps me busy loading mags for them so they can kill clay birds on the berm. The smile on their face’s is priceless.

[rockrat]

I still have some of those Otasco shells I bought around 1974. Think they were up to 79 cents per box, by then.

[sparky45]

Used to be able to buy Remington .22 shorts at the local grocery store. If "we as kids" didn't have enough money to buy a box full, they'd sell out of the box one at a time for a penny a pop.

[Texas by God]

Today at Wally, I bought 3 boxes of CCI Standard Velocity @ $4.83 each. I didnt need them, but my bolt actions like them.

Came home from Baltimore Monday and stopped at 3 Walmarts in Md and Va to buy CCI standard velocity .22s as I can’t find them local. 4.83 a 50 rd box. Not a deal but my Winchester M52 and Springfield M2 love them. I wound up with 9 boxes as they held tight to a 3 box limit/day. Was hoping to get a few more than a bricks worth.

The WM in Kalispell had a bunch of the Federal 325 auto match for about 6 to 8 weeks but they are now out.

[dale2242]

Our Walmart Super Center in grants Pass OR quit selling any guns or ammo recently.
That is not a problem for me as I never bought from them.
I hate to see that because a lot of people did.

[Outer Rondacker]

My local walmart still has Federal auto match but they started checking you ID to make sure your 21 to buy pellets for the air rifle.

[Murphy]

The WM in Kalispell had a bunch of the Federal 325 auto match for about 6 to 8 weeks but they are now out.

About a month ago I made my usual every couple of months trip to Wally World. I take numerous vitamins and supplements. Other than that, when I tell people I have to go to Walmart I mean exactly that...I HAVE TO, no other option within 50 miles. I guess out of habit, I always make my way back to sporting goods. Lo and behold, they had Federal 325 stacked high and deep, some Remington Golden bullets, and some high dollar Winchester that came 300 in a pack at $41 and some change. I'm stocked for my needs and not overly worried about it. I just hope it comes back down for those who do.

On another note, a friend and I were the next town over and made a trip into a local Pawn & Gun. My friend is a tool nut (is there such a thing? If so, I'm pretty sure he's one) and as he perused the boxes of sockets & wrench's I was checking out the ammo. Well I'll be, there sat about 12-15 boxes of Federal 325 auto match, at twice the price he bought them for from Walmart. I can understand some mark up, he has to make a profit. But this guy is the epitome of a greedy, slime ball pawn shop broker that embarrasses the good pawn shops.

Murphy

[Shawlerbrook]

Yes, Murphy, that’s a slimeball. We had a local gun shop that had a regular routine of hitting the local Walmart first thing on the morning on the days that they would restock to buy and resell at 2 or 3x. Think he had a deal with some Walmart employee. That was before they put a limit and also people caught on and complained to management.

[uscra112]

Happened to be in the Marietta Ohio Walmart on Thursday, and remembered to swing past the gun counter. No ammo at all visible, of any type. Nobody to ask, either. Doesn't matter to me - I'm overstocked with .22 as it is.

[crackers]

“Think he had a deal with some Walmart employee.“

Ahhh. That’s one glaring problem. There doesn’t really need to be money involved - just good ole boys. The clerks at Cabela’s in PA must do that because a shipment can be cleaned out in short hours.

But then, there are the stories right here about how “I bought ten because I could.”

[dverna]

Eight boxes of the AutoMatch at the Walmart nearest to me. Under $22. I did not buy any as I do not need them. Has been on the shelf for a few days.

It is a good sign that prices are coming down and people are not buying stuff out of panic.

[rockrat]

Lots of ammo at our Wally World yesterday. Most I have seen in a long time.

[Pereira]

The two local WW's have been pretty stocked for the past month.
This was last week at one of them.

[samari46]

Was in our local wal mart and they had what I would call a decent variety of 22rf ammo. And for the first time in a very long time they actually had some center fire ammo. They don't normally assign anyone to the sporting goods section unless it's to restock shelves. Otherwise you walk over next door to the auto section and they page someone who has the keys to the ammo. Frank

[Gtek]

Was in there yesterday and strolled that way, they had what appeared to be a new unboxed case of CCI Target. Ask and was told 4.85 a box which put it at 10.33 cents a round out the door with maximum of three boxes. Took three and went back today for three more, that's about where it also seems to be online. As painful as it seems it is what it is, still hurts!

[eastbank]

our walmart has plenty of .22 ammo, but not much of anything else ammo wise.

[bosterr]

I was ay my local Walmart 2 months ago and bought 2 325 count boxes of Federal Auto Match for $21.17 and there were about 8 boxes left along with a few Winchester 350 count boxes for $42. Two weeks later I bought 3 more boxes and there were probably 16 or 18 boxes left. 2 weeks later there wasn't a single box of any other .22 ammo. Just heard a guy who worked in sporting goods bought every .22 on the shelf and was selling it on line... he was promptly fired.

[Shawlerbrook]

Nothing around here(Central NYS).

[rbuck351]

The local Walmart had about 8 325 rd cartons of the federal auto match yesterday for $21.16 each. I didn't really need any but picked up 2 cartons as that is probably as cheap as it's going to get for a while.

[Murphy]

Walmart and .22 ammunition. All I remember is back pre presidential election 2008 when Federal Bulk 550 packs were $8.88 each. You could walk in, grab two bricks, toss a $20 on the counter and get a few cent's back. Once things got back to 'normal' years later, that same box was now more than double the cost. Closer to $19 and change for the same bulk pack that had been $8.88. Ummmmmm, it wasn't Federal that went up that much in cost production, that was Walmart being who they really are.

I've been saying for years, when I say I have to go to Walmart I mean exactly that. It's go there or drive 50 miles to the next larger town to get what I need. I will pay a little extra to stay out of Walmart if I can.


Murphy

[farmbif]

the other day I was rummaging through a dusty pile of boxes and came across a nice shiny brick of cci standard velocity. sticker price $9.99.

[Texas by God]

It took me 20 years to use up 50 .22LR Shot cartridges. At Academy a new box of Federal .22LR Shot cartridges cost $20.56.

Was at local Walmart again yesterday and saw at least 50 boxes of 325 Federal Auto Match but little of anything else .22. Hopefully Federal will let loose of large pistol and large pistol magnum primers soon.

[Geezer in NH]

Still waiting here in NH from Concord north for 22 lr. Seen NONE

[Newtire]

Boy, geeze,
Hope you get some soon. Here in Idaho, the Federals are just sitting on the shelf as well as those 333 Winchester boxes. The Federals have been excellent but the Winchesters are full of duds this time.

I got 2-cans of Unique at 38 bucks each and 2-cans HS-6 at 32.00 each at Bi-Mart.

[rbuck351]

Kalispell Walmart has a show case full of the Fed auto Match at $21.16 and a few of the Win at $40 but not much else.

[elmacgyver0]

People are not buying as much of it because they can't afford to.
They need their money for gas and groceries.
They don't have any money left for ammo after buying for their basic survival.
It has become very hard for people living paycheck to paycheck.
I am fortunate to no longer be in that category.

[Newtire]

This is the truth. Not many people at the range these days.

Murphy

Murphy, I think you are being hard on the Walmarts. Hardly anyone wants to support them, many reasons, but often your wallet is the weak link that makes the decision to patronize them. Where else can you buy 22 shells cheaper than Walmart? Sure their price is higher than in 2008 (that was 14 years ago!), but that is the same story everywhere. When I used to buy 22 shells, it was at a Walmart. I don't think I have shot 50 of them in the past 10 years, I did bring a brick of them with me on my prairie dog hunt last year, gave them to the landowner of the the ground we shoot on.

I did look in at the ammao cabinet in a Walmart a couple weeks ago in Sioux City, they had plenty of 22s and a bit of everything else it seemed.

[CastingFool]

I was in high school when I purchased my first brick of Reminton 22's. A buddy and I stopped at a local store, and found the bricks on sale for $5.00. We both got one brick each, and shot them up later that day . I think that was back in 1966.

[eveready]

The Wal Mart on rt248 Lower Nazareth is stocked up with Federal 325 packs. Priced at $21 and change.

[Alaj13]

I vividly remember the Super X not the match super X. We had a hardware store in the small town I grew up in that had a wooden case with a glass front that he kept those 22 shells in.
I once bought a box with a silver dollar my grandfather gave me. Price was 65 cents. Wonder there that silver dollar is today.
Oh, by the way. About 30 years later I acquired an exact duplicate of the wooden case the 22 shells were in. I'll always keep it. Reminds me of my great childhood.

Local Cabelas in Louisville, KY had Federal Auto-Match yesterday at ~$28/325 rounds + tax. That's a $7 increase from what it was a month ago. I'll have to check the Walmart here in La Grange to see if they're holding the cost at $21. It's good ammunition in my .22's, as accurate as Mini-Mags with almost the same level of reliability.

Went by this morning for my usual beer run, got it and walked to the sporting goods section. Lots and lots of ammo, and shotshells. No 410's, the vuy says they get some just about every week but they don't sit long.
Well I did grab a couple things, the 22's averaged out at .073 cents a piece.

I’ll have to see if ours has number 11’s. They’ve been out for a couple of years now. I bought a couple of 125 count cci 22wmr cartons for $29Ea. They went up from $22.99 last fall. There have been cases of 22lr at our Walmart all year. They increased the price by a good $5 on everything though.
