The real problem is that Wal-Mart can't keep up. I go to Cabela and they seem to always have ammo in stock.

What were they charging for the 147's?

Since my last post, All the Walmart employees are tell me different times to be there now.
Get there between 6:30 and 8:30pm. The stock truck shows up at these times and they are getting the ammo onto their shelves right away.

Yes, large spread 6:30pm and 8:30pm. Good luck.

If they say you just missed the last six boxes, I was there first. I got the last 3 boxes of BB 9mm last night at the Walmart.

I've been able to find Federal 100rd value packs of .223 55gr FMJ for $39.97 at my small town Wal-Mart. Had them in stock today and one day last week. Up until then it's just been WWB in pistol calibers.

It is possible for Walmart to stock their shelves any time of the day though generally I find morning the best for ammo. They get deleiveries all day log I believe and while most of it is stocked at night it is possible for employees to go pull product they want to stock it they have the time or are motivated to.

Luckily for me my job/company vehilce takes me past Walmarts all the time. I stopped in 4 today and did find some BB in 9MM and .40. Every one I stopped at today had WWB 100 packs of .380 [which I don't need].

My walmart in CT hasn't had ammo in months.

I stopped yesterday, and they had two 50-round boxes of WWB .40 on the shelf (not the 100rd value pack). The guy said they got a shipment of ammo in the morning, only a small handful of WWB - and all 50rd boxes.

I don't shoot .40 so I asked when 9mm was coming in, and he said they get an ammo shipment once per month...

I went to my local W/M at 7am and there was no one waiting and no ammo on the shelf.

My Walmart has got 9mm up the ***. I'm a happy camper. They've been pretty well stocked for the past three weeks.

Any bulk 22?

I got lucks at my two local Wal-Marts. On Tues and Wed, I hit the two WM in my area. First time I had found 9mm on the shelves in at least 8 months.

I bought seven 100 round packs of the Win White Box 9mm for $21.97 each ($11.00 per 50).

I bought a combined total of 27 boxes of Federal 9mm. At the one store it is $9.47 a box and $9.97 a box at the other.

There is 40 and 45 ACP ammo on the shelves at both stores.

Seems no one but me has been buying any 9mm over the last three days.

I went in to both stores before going to work and plan on hitting them later after work.

From everything I've seen in .40 Walmart has the cheapest price in target rounds I can find. I just got a Glock .40 on friday so I am trying to stock up a few rounds. But a 50 rd box for $14.47 is the cheapest I can find. If the stores have them in stock is another situation.

I actually found 3 boxes of white box .380 the other day at around 7 pm.

I went to three WM's today. No ammo on any shelf (pistol/revolver). I asked each so-called manager, "What's the best day, time to come and camp out waiting for delivery?"

Each one said the same thing; not quite word for word, but close: "I don't know. I never see it come in. It hits the warehouse and they decide who gets it. We may not get any until next year."

Funny all three mentioned, "...next year..."? They almost acted, "dumbed-down". I can't believe the 'manager' of a department wouldn't know the DAY he receives delivery - ammo or not. It really sounded like a script.

New Mexico usually has box upon box of ammo - but now that I see it hitting around the country (other states) - it's dried up here.

All the Walmarts here receive stock over night so morning is best. I had a guy at work tell me to go to a certain Walmart because his brother who works in the stock room said they are getting a shipment. I went and they didn't. It seems no one knows when they will get ammo and how much so it is a crap shoot. I buy when I find it as the budget allows. This weeks score was one 100 round box WWB 9 mm. Two 50 rnd boxes JHP 230 grn .45 and one 50 rnd box of .357 Sig. They had more 9mm but I am good on that score.
One thing most employees are saying is Walmart is trying to get lower prices than most distributors want so supply is weak.

Local WM supply is getting better. They were remodeling and shifting the entire store for more than 4 months. Left the outdoors section in a mess for a long time. Finally have seen 40 and 9 in a regular way but no 45 or 380 at all. The counter guy I spoke with (been there about 10 years) did tell me that it was WM safety policy that only the gun guys were allowed to actually place the ammo in the locked case. He reiterated the early morning deal. Maybe the stock boys were light fingered? Hope not. The Academy stores here had lots of empty shelves even for shotshells, the local Cabelas too (limit of 2 mostly). This is the DFW Texas area.

I have put about 1500 rounds of 40 S&W Blazer BRASS (180 grain) through my p229dak and haven't had any problems with it.
I recommend it highly.

Yesterday morning I left for work early and stopped by 2 WalMart locations. I was looking for 9mm. Both were pretty dry (plenty of .223).
Did the same thing today, 1st stop was same as yesterday, but the 2nd stop had 300 rounds of WWB.

Same here. 9mm is still hit and miss. The WM closest to me (adjacent to Bass Pro) had a few thousand rounds of 223.

I guess I've been lucky at my local Wally World. For one, since I haven't gotten my 9mm upper for my 229, all I have had to buy is .40 and 22LR, which so far always in stock locally. I feel bad for the cats looking for 9mm or .45 though. Unless you are getting there at 6am on Tues or Thurs, you ain't getting it. The only thing that does suck is it's a 3 box limit here.

Got no ammp 'round these parts-no matter whose crack I'm around...
