Sportsmans Warehouse in Rocklin got a whole bunch of ammo in today. They had Blazer for $18.99/500 and some other CCI bricks for $28.99/500 I think. I didn't pay attention because of the price.

I'm more of a casual shooter, so I'm not really educated on gun politics... but can someone explain to me why every store I went to had plenty of 12 ga, 7.62, 30-06, 7mm, .223, .40 S&W, 9mm, .357.... etc, but no where had any .22LR?

9mm and .357 have been hard to find because people are stocking up on handgun ammo. .22lr is selling like crazy because it's so much cheaper to shoot.

The rest of the calibers aren't as popular.

bi weekly trips?
Honestly, I have to call Wal Mart every day to get ammo updates just to snag some once a month. It seems like more work than it is. I usually just call on my commute home and see what they have coming in the next day. If you're not there by 7:30am the day they get it, it's gonzo.

i go there tuesday and thursday mornings at 8am. thats more trips than i can handle to walmart especially since there isnt one in my town. i also dont want to be a pain in the arse to call them on the phone all the time cus i know they hate it. i try to make my trip do double duty by picking up some household items since i have to drive so far out of the way.

I wish I lived closer.

I was a bad, make that very bad boy today and bought 12 boxes of 22 at WW today, 8 boxes of winchester xpert-HV (500), and 4 boxes of federal target grade (325), but then I do shoot it and don't resell it for profit.

I live near Loomis, but that doesn't seem like a very good deal.

1. It's old. Manufactured in 1994.
2. It's unknown Russian. Who knows what quality and how dirty.
3. Steel cased. Is it rusty? Varnished?
4. It's selling at 4 cents per round. That's expensive.

I can buy brand new US made brass-cased .22 all day for 3 to 3.8 cents per round. Why would I want completely unknown old Russian steel-cased for more?

Really don't know, just thought I would post this up

Funny how all the gougers in the ammo section are selling in lots of 6 or say they only have six to sell.

I've noticed this as well. And yasushi, I'd take some more ammo from you but to be fair I have enough for now and I'm semi broke,lol.

Just to let you all know, I have done the same thing yasushi is doing on a local basis with friends, family, ect. Buying up all the Walmart ammo in certain calibers and reselling it at cost to be sure more people have something to shoot and to prevent gougers from making a profit.

I recently bought some of this brass cased Russian stuff at $15 per 500rds. It's greasy and somewhat dirty but serviceable. I have a single 50rd box of the steel case for collection purposes. I shot 50-100 rounds of it many years ago.

For those of you on the central coast 831 area, Hunter's Supply in Salinas has had ALOT of ammo both times ive been there in July. Just bought a 525 brick of blazers for $22 the other day (also saw cci minimags, remington subsonics, american eagles, and some federal).

Also, Hunter's Supply is celebrating 1 year on Saturday with free gun raffles and a free bbq!

Ammo Bros sells 500rds of Blazer .22lr at $21.99 which is not too bad for a non Walmart retailer. I think it was $20 earlier this year though.

If you are looking to pick up more ammo to re-sale, this post does not concern you. Just move on.

OK, I found 6 more boxes of Federal bulk packs at the local WM last night and I'm offering them up for sale to offset the scalping that's been going on. I'm not doing this to make money or win favors, just trying to help out the local plinkers.

They are Federal 375rd packs and I paid $11.47 + tax (8.75%) so $12.47 each. Maximum of two packs per person. Exact change in cash please.

One catch, to discourage re-selling of these ammo I'll open the box at the time of sale and tearing off the box top.

PM me and you can pick it up at my work (Costa Mesa) between 6am-3pm M/F or at home (Mission Viejo) 5pm-9pm. Sorry no shipping.

Thanks
Richard S.

Still have TWO boxes left.
