Walmart in Santee?
It's funny that everytime Walmart gets a truck, especially with 22lr, it shows up on Craigs list and on here. Where I'm at its allways the same guys showing up for it and I'm starting to think they don't even shoot. In fact I've found some of them selling it on here. This is why ammo, 22 for that matter, will never sit on the shelf. Guys like me have to buy as often as we can so we don't end up having to buy from these clowns. It's a damn shame cause even with the hoarding going on there would be some ammo sitting on the shelves. Stop buying from the flippers and they will drop out.Comment

I buy Wolf, SK, and Eley any time I need it. If you know the right places to get it, it's no problem. I bought 6 boxes of Federal Auto Match at Walmart 2 weeks ago. Went back last week and bought 600 rounds of Winchester 9mm last week. I don't see a shortage. There was a problem with the same people buying it several months ago, but most have stopped in this area.Comment

SO BETWEEN YOU BUYING AS MUCH AS YOU CAN BEFORE THE FLIPPERS DO AKA (HOARDING), AND THE FLIPPERS BUYING AS MUCH AS THEY CAN SO THEY DON'T HAVE TO FLIP BURGERS FOR A LIVING AMMO IS TOUGH TO GET.It's funny that everytime Walmart gets a truck, especially with 22lr, it shows up on Craigs list and on here. Where I'm at its allways the same guys showing up for it and I'm starting to think they don't even shoot. In fact I've found some of them selling it on here.

It's in SoCal. I buy what I can when I'm there. In the last two months I aquired about 1500 rds. I dont think I'm part of the problem. I also shoot every two weeks. The flippers are there everytime it comes in, so I hoard what I can and shoot about 200rds about once or twice a month.Comment

Beating the already dead horse even more, frequently.It's funny that everytime Walmart gets a truck, especially with 22lr, it shows up on Craigs list and on here.

This.
I took a look in the ammo cabinet this morning...found I've got 18 bulk pack boxes. All from China Mart and a mix between federal and remington and winchester. Also almost 3 cases of CCI, a few hundred rounds of .22 short and a couple boxes of .22 lr shot.
None were bought in bulk, just a box or 2 anytime I was near a China Mart over the last 4 or 5 years.
It's far easier to get a little often, than to ***** and moan that you ran out and need to go shooting in an hour.
Don't blame industrious folks who get up early to catch the worm and the ammo. That seems to be what it takes now, at least for local purchase at a more or less normal price.
If you wanna' blame anybody, look in the mirror. It's a biatch, isn't it.
True wealth is time. Time to enjoy life.
Life's journey is not to arrive safely in a well preserved body, but rather to slide in sideways, totally worn out, shouting "holy schit...what a ride"!!

Anybody that is not Me who buys ammo is the problem. YOU are part of the problem. Stop buying ammo & give it to me, that way I dont become part of the problem.

look at companies like frito layWhy would they care? They can just increase the price of their ammo then and sell for more.
Look at a company like debeers (the diamond b*stards). Keep supply low/steady and crank up profits per unit of production.
It won't lose them customers to increase the price, so why would they try and increase supply and risk the capital expenditures of more machines/rent/labor?Comment

I've purchased at least 7k rds of 40gr mini-mags, winchester super-x, CCI SV, and M22 in the past 2 months online. Final shipments are on the way. Priced from .06pr to .09pr. On top of all the 5.56, .45acp and 9mm I've purchased online. I've given up on my Tracy WM. All for personal stash, I never sell/give away. Needless to say I've spent A LOT of time online hunting/refreshing. Oh it's out there."If he won't walk, walk him...be nice"

SGAmmo, Midway, Cabelas, targetsportsusa. It takes dedication, but once it shows up, have an account at all of these places and buy asap.
Oh, and use Gunbot, create an account, set-up price alarms."If he won't walk, walk him...be nice"

I've been known to do that.I've purchased at least 7k rds of 40gr mini-mags, winchester super-x, CCI SV, and M22 in the past 2 months online. Final shipments are on the way.

In fact yesterday I gave away 2 boxes of .22's to a young couple that were shooting for the very first time.
His brother gave him a Ruger 45 and the RO told them to rent a .22 and shoot that first. Not sure on the rental price but he charged them $16 for 50 rounds of .22's. I wanted to help them have fun and hope they stay with the hobby.
I hoped it worked.Yes you can have 2 C&R 03 FFL's; 1 in California and 1 in a different state.
