Price Rollbackforward happened!

Note the empty slot to the left of the 350 Legend ammo. That was white box 350 Legend ammo and the price at the Tigard Walmart just recently went up to $14 and change for that ammo.

There was a time when I shopped for ammo at Wally's. But sadly.....NOT anymore. Too much politics there.

Aloha, Mark

I picked up a couple boxes of Automatch .22lr at Walmart a few days ago, and noticed the price had risen substantially.

The "shortage" has gone on long enough that prices have risen along the entire supply chain. They haven't quite caught up with the scalpers yet, but I think it's gotten to the point where there's really not much room left for a profit for them.

There are shops that are sending their goons in WalMart to scoop up all the 100 rd boxes of 12 ga . When you go by their shop they got it stacked deep for $48 a box aren't they sweethearts !

I am selling some ammo I bought before the drought and it's going fast

Well yes, Walmart's ammo prices have risen. But everything is relative.

As much as Walmart's prices have risen, their prices in every case is lower than any of the ammo I'm seeing from the online ammo superstores.

True now if they had other ammo besides 350 Legend we would be golden

Actually, recently, I've bought quite a few .308 and some .243 cartridges there, as well as rimfire ammo. My boy keeps himself in shotgun ammo from there. Never from one day to the next do they have the same inventory, as it's sold as soon as it's placed on the shelf for sale. And sometimes right out of the cart before it's even put on the shelf.

I seldom go to Walmart, but when I do I'm surprised to see ammo on the shelves at all, considering they're getting out of the ammo business. Or so I keep reading on the internet.

People have to remember Wally does not make ammo to sell. They buy it from a distribution source like everyone else. Since they can not buy a box car load at a time any more price goes up. Materials to make it go up, price goes up. Wally has a set mark up just like before. Amazing someone seems to want to hate on Wally so where is the "better place" to buy the same ammo then?

 

[Xrperry]

If you were referring to me Alexx I didn't say I hated Walmart, although I don't care to go there, I was merely shocked at the price increase since the last time I was in there.as a matter of fact that's where I got the bulk of my 10k of cci standard velocity 22 ammo. Back when it was a little over 7 bucks a hundred.

You were just one of hundreds who love to gripe about ammo price. Often the complaints are aimed at Wally since for a few panic shortages wally was the place to go. Reason was they did not change markup. As ammo came in they did the same mark up they always did, first come first served. Every panic a LOT of complaining. This time gun owners elected an administration that thought what we really need now is some old fashioned inflation to make us happy. So again here comes the complaints aimed at everyone except of course the people making the mess. The price of everything we buy is climbing but many only seem to want to see ammo. That gas has more than doubled? No one seems to care. Price of ammo doubles and that gets attention.
I am certainly no fan boy for Wally, or Amazon. What amazes me is voters do this to themselves and then act like they do not understand what happened and it must be someone else's fault.

Oh no. A weird fad cartridge priced like a weird fad cartridge

Nice score took me a bit to get a good stash of 243 built up during these times ! I managed to clean out the Pawn shop at $17 a box and scored a case from TargetsportsUSA . The best score was a neighbor asked if I knew anyone that could use 243 and of course I knew someone lol.

 

[PORSCHE928S4]

Wal Mart did give me the hook up on 6.5c and 25-06 took multiple trips but scored about 500 rounds of 6.5 and 300 of the 25-06 at $19 a box those were the days !

Wasn't griping either. I was smart enough to buy ammo when it was cheap and I bought a lot of it. And I didn't vote for the idiots running this country. Then there is people like you that like to start arguments

What's a Wal-Mart?

 

[Labradorian]

What's a Wal-Mart?

Sadly. it's the closest store to my house. and one I usually drive by to somewhere else. The only thing I get there any more is the occasional skool supply and hydraulic oil.

My Walmart doesn't even HAVE ammo. NONE, of any kind. Hasn't for months and months. At first they had some 20ga but once that was gone... NO MORE AMMO.

D&B used to carry lots of ammo... those shelves are now dedicated to licorice and Carhart stuff. NO AMMO.

Ace hardware has some ammo, but no 9mm.

BiMart has some ammo, but no plinking/target 9mm.

Just be glad you don't live in a small town... tho I love it here, it has some disadvantages, like crappy doctors, useless VA, and NO AMMO!!!

Didn't need it but 7.62x51 M80 at $21 a box just had to get a few boxes
