Walmart no longer sells 357mm ammo :)

[johnsonian09]

My wife saw this and we both got a kick out of it.

But now I’m left feeling like building a real 357mm handgun. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20220717/3663c201b3afec31bf3d4b3919f888ea.jpg

Maybe they'll keep 22mm on the shelf.

[Kosh75287]

I noticed the 40mm. Never knew I coulda fed my Bofors Gun on WalMart ammo...

My local Walmart does not sell pistol ammo but still sells .22's.

Does that go for all stores? There going to loose a lot of business in states like Alaska. Plus the revenue from sales of other things that would have been purchased, just because they were there buying ammo.

[metricmonkeywrench]

My basic theory is that overtime some “common” high sales ammo and popular hunting calibers will start to quietly re-appear on the shelves. Empty shelf space is lost income in that world, but I have yet to see any local store remove or reduce the number of ammo cases on the floor.

[Half Dog]

I get it. They need to learn the necessity of decimal points.

[ioon44]

I don't buy anything gun related from Walmart, my LGS's need my money a lot more than Walmart does.

Were these signs printed up and distributed to Wally World by Biden Left? Sorta looks to me like Wally World ought to have less training on CRT and more training so their employees actually know something about the products they sell . . . . pardon me . . . . used to sell.

[Pereira]

As far as I know they quit selling All hand gun ammo a couple years ago.
When our local one decided to do so they sold all their stock at half price, and that included that evil 223 stuff too.
I spent $400+ dollars on helping them out.
Now they only sell hunting rifle ammo, shotgun shells and rimfire ammo.

Pereira - What you describe just points out what a bunch of hypocrites they are . . . they choose to appease the WOKE by no longer selling the "evil ammo" . . . but have no problem in selling all of it that remains on their shelves? That's what I call being truly dedicated to their convictions . . . not! Seems to me if they were truly dedicated to their "cause" . . . they would have immediately removed it from their shelves and sent it back to distribution . . or just took measures to destroy it. Maybe their upper management should go on-line and buy some spines?

Irregardless, I'm glad there were those that could take advantage of their stupidity and help them clear their shelves of the "evil ammo" . . . . maybe we should do the same with Congress and run a "half off sale" to "clear the shelves"? :-)

I avoid Walmart any chance I get. It seems that place brings out the worst of the worst people out there

[Handloader109]

I wander by the gun section every now and then when I happen to have to go in one of the Walmarts in the area. Now I live near home office and you'd think that every one of them would be stocked well before ant outlying store. Nope, usually shotgun shells, and maybe a few 22 rimfire. Ain't worth looking

I would like to see a pic of the shoulder holster for one of those 357mm handguns.

* to anyone who took this almost seriously it’s a gag meme from fb.

I’m in the blue state of ct and they still stock ammo here. It’s just behind a locked glass cabinet and you have to find someone to unlock it for you and you pay for it right there in the store.

Chuck Norris carries a 357mm handgun as a backup.

Walmart's business model is well documented concerning their supplier relationships. Their teams of purchasers essentially set prices on things and tell the supplier to deliver it at that number. Some go along with this because of the sheer volume of product Walmart can move for them.
I know from recent purchases by myself at Walmart for the few things ammo related that Walmart had on the shelves the prices were so low compared to typical "normal" channels, frankly, didn't make sense. Example: I bought at Walmart ( 3 weeks ago ) 4 ea 20rd boxes Winchester AA 2 1/2 .410 No 8 shot for $9.48 pr/box. While on that same day LGS was charging $ 46.00 per/20ea box of brand X 7 1/2 shot 3" which is typical of most that's out there right now. ( I know it sucks )
With all the change of ownership, consolidation etc in the current ammo producing world. The new players probably told Walmart the business model of them telling/setting the price does't work for us any longer. Time for a "Time out"

[pworley1]

Not selling the 357mm ammo wont bother me. The 120mm was about all my old hands could stand.

[barnetmill]

I have picked some .22 magnum from them. Almost two hundred rounds. I had traded half of what I had last year to someone else for 30 lbs of 40 cal brass. I now have more 40 cal brass than I know what to do with.

[Hick]

On the other hand, our local Walmart does not sell handgun ammo-- but all through the COVID stuff they kept stocking 22 LR and never raised their price ($21.37 for 325 rounds of Federal automatch 22LR). So they weren't all bad.

[MarkWood]

I completely agree. I'm much more inclined to support small local stores than this huge warehouse of who knows what.

[Hick]

Probably a contrary thought-- but sometimes I wonder if things might not be better if stores only sold components-- no factory ammo for any civilians. I have more confidence in the people that can make their own ammo. Even more so if stores sold brass primers lead and powder but no bullets.

[farmbif]

how many grain slugs are in that 357mm ammo?

[dswancutt]

Well, a 14" gun on a US WW1 standard battleship is 356mm. A Mk16 AP round weighs in at 1500lb, to that is about 10,500,000 grains.

Walmart most certainly does not sell pistol ammo anymore. Or "assault rifle" ammo. Which means they won't sell .223 or 7.62x39, but will happily sell me .308 for my AR-10. Morons.

It's been that way since 2019...

https://www.cnn.com/2019/09/03/business/walmart-ends-handgun-ammo-sales/index.html

The company, America’s largest retailer, said it will stop selling handgun ammunition and “short-barrel rifle ammunition,” such as the .223 caliber and 5.56 caliber, that can also be used on assault-style weapons after selling all of its current inventory. Walmart (WMT) will also stop selling handguns in Alaska, the only state where it still sells handguns. And Walmart (WMT) will request that customers no longer openly carry guns into its 4,700 US stores, or its Sam’s Club stores, in states that allow open carry.

“It’s clear to us that the status quo is unacceptable,” Walmart CEO Doug McMillon said in a memo to employees on Tuesday.

No use for Wal Mart haven’t been in one for years,not my idea of a ‘shopping’ experience of 90% Chi Comm made products.

Well, the nearest Walmart to you is 37 miles away in Sheridan, so not too surprising. My nearest Walmart is 15 miles away since I live in a town of 1200 with one little grocery store, one bar, and no hardware stores.

I hate what Walmart did to American small businesses. I remember when they started exploding in the 90's, their slogan was that they were all for American-made products. Today, the actual numbers are around 70-80% Chinese-made goods.

There is nothing you nor I can do about it. We are on a collision course with reality and facts.

[GregLaROCHE]

Wait until the Chinese start flooding the markets with there guns, or have they already started ?

Well, that would be fun for new shooters. And the death of the 2A. But hey....

[Jeff Michel]

There's a Rural King across the street from Walmart. They sell everything firearm wise, great selection, decent prices. I think they upped their game when Walmart turned goofy. Currently, Walmart has about four long guns that nobody would want and about as many boxes of ammo. The irritating thing about Rural King is on truck days, you can't get into the gun department because the aisles are all blocked by pallets of ammunition. Not my usual haunts but I do check out their ammo inventory once a week.

[higgins]

Remember that sign the next time the person behind the counter at Walmart tells you some ridiculous rumor and you're tempted to believe it.

[elmacgyver0]

I quit buying ammo at Walmart when they moved all the ammo behind the counter, and I couldn't see to read the boxes and prices.

[johnsonian09]

I stand corrected, my local Walmart only stocks shotgun and various rimfire products.

Either way, I think that component idea would be terrible. Simply due to shooters too green to know better blowing their own hands off with their edc gun, when they need it to work the most.

We love reloading and tinkering. That’s not true for everyone with a gun tho. Some people just want to carry factory and shoot factory. They don’t want to absorb the risk of their own handloads failing them.

The main reason I go to WW is for beer, as it is $4 to $5 per case cheaper than anywhere else in town.
So depending on what else I'm doing, or how big of a hurry I'm in, I will about 90% of the time cruz the sporting goods section.
