no ammo at walmart

[Harrylee]

just had to run down to walmart to get something while I was there thought I would pick up some 22s for plinking the entire ammo box was empty I just wonder where this whole thing is going to end up

I think it's going to be months away before things slow down...everyone is scared shitless.

[JERRY]

they had plenty of 12ga. #7 shot, .270Win, .410 #6 shot, some .40cal and .38spl, a few boxes of 30-06 and a lot of .22short and CB....but no .22lr or .45acp, or 9mm, or .223, or 7.62x39...

if youre only interest in guns is trap shooting, deer, and squirrels youre in luck.

Requesting Quiet

Mine has some high end 40/45, shotgun and rifle rounds.
Most everything is gone and the shelves are empty.
Forget anything in .223/5.56.
Even my online sources are mostly sold out of any .223/5.56 ammo.
I still have a few top secret sources I'm not willing to divulge at this time.
Even to friends.

So don't ask...

I went to Walmart early this morning and was lucky to get a couple 50 round boxes of Remington 115 grain and 1 box of Federal. I found a couple of boxes of Remington steel cased ammo on the shelf but didn't get it because did not know anything about steel cased ammo. Have since Googled it and found varying opinions about it. Surprise Surprise.
Some say the only thing wrong with it is you can't reload it which I don't do anyway but others say it runs dirty and can be hard on your extractor. I have learned to trust you guys and your opinions. I believe it was only about 50 bucks for a box of 250, which sounds great if the ammo is ok. So what say you experts?

[Tinman507]

I've used it when there wasn't anything else. It's filthy dirty but shoots ok.

[O'Dell]

Never used it - never will!!

[GROTMAN]

Thanks Tinman.. O'Dell why not?

[Bawanna]

I like the gun to be harder than the cartridge. Steel on steel doesn't appeal to me.

Russian stuff runs on it all the time and I'd probably use it in those but not anything I really like.

That being said I'd probably buy it anyhow if they aren't gouging on price and just have it on hand. Beats the heck out of throwing rocks.

Crap, I just missed a big Rat with my S&W Model 41, should have been an easy shot at 25 yards or so but I haven't pulled a trigger in 4 months so I must be a little rusty?

[Barth]

I have quality guns and only use quality ammo.
WWB is as low grade as I'm willing to shoot.
I never use anything but brass.
My HK manuals are very specific about using only brass cased ammo.

I feed my guns, and myself, well.

[GROTMAN]

Thanks everyone. The consensus seems to be don't get it unless I have to. Fortunately I'm not in a place where I need to get it. Do have a little stock built up.
Bawanna also feeling a little rusty. I don't want to use up what I do have until I can replace it. My range membership is up for renewal this month but I think I'm going to wait until ammo is more plentiful again before I renew it. Can't even find 22 ammo to go plink with. Anyway bet that rat is home now bragging about how he escaped the Great Bawanna!

of people call WWB low grade,I often wnder if itis becuase walmart sellsit for aroun d $20 a box where as Gander Mty. sells the same stuff for $35 a box. Makes no sense to me. It is brass casing, fmj bullet,certainly not rock salt for a propellant. It willgo bang every time as much as any outter brand will. What makes it dirtier than utters??? I don't buy some of the comments. Just me but,if a gun won't shoot alittle dirty, it ain't much of a gun. Most good shooters keep their weapons clean to,. I am not defending WWB but I am saying IMO it is just not low grade ammo. It ain't +P but again neither is the price. Just sayin.

[addictedhealer]

This whole thing sucks.

Gander Mountain has 350 rounds of 115grain 9mm Blazer Brass for $99.99.

[jocko]

but you also get a free finger swab when u buy those 350 rounds at that price. They have a proctologists on duty full time...
