Big 5 Ammo Pricing. . . WTF Over?

[wolf13]

Big 5 wanted $46.99 for 50 rounds of .30 carbine.

+1 on Walmart.
I hate going in there, but the ammo prices keep me going in for more.
Too bad they don't carry .45 long colt.

Big 5 seemed to have decent sales prices when I started shooting 3+ years ago but not no more. $18.95 for a box of .38 specials - not. Wish the Walmarts around me still sold ammo. I try to stop at a Sportsman's Warehouse whenever I am near one.

The only ammo worth buying on sale at Big5 is .22LR. Wish we had a WalMart in the city.

Ammo prices keep going up, like gas prices... with no end in sight...

Wal-mart seems to be the last bastion of 'older' prices... They too will eventually be up there, albeit a bit slower than their competition...

Not available in Alameda and Contra Costa counties...

I tried to buy ammo with my neighbor for his .30/30 and .22lr at Turners. Cheapest ammo for it was around $24. We ended up going to Wal Mart for the .30/30 ammo and getting it for around $13 a box.

Turners and Big 5 are very high on most ammo.

Yeah, I really hate that Big 5 in Dublin. Have had the worst service there. I stopped goin there alltogether if I can help it. If I need some bulk .22lr ill go to the one in livermore when im headin out to LPRG to shoot.

Since I live in Alameda County, im also outta luck on the Walmart ammo. Im down south in the San Jose area often, so maybe ill try hittin up one of the ones you guys mentioned... Thanks for the input!

That Big-5 suffers from too much turn over in staffing. They forever have a now hiring sign at the door.

I went to big 5 to look around, .40 S&W 100 rd pack was in the wrong spot that said 23.99$ asked for a price check, it was 44.99$ thats 22.50$ for 50 rds..

online prices are still around 12-14$ a box

[Shane916]

Sports Authority the 100 round WWB .40's are now around 32.99-34.99. Quite ridiculous.

[scrat]

I payed $45.99

for 50 count 50. 45colt

Yep was told their prices were raised a lot. Now where can i find 45 colt.

[Saigon1965]

Start reloading, especially for those calibers.

+1 on Wall Mart.. I just bought their supplies of 9mm and waiting for them to restock again... For those of you in SD that would be Wall Mart off of the 805 south after you pass Main Street in Chula vista... Can't reber the name of the exit though...

Chief,

The name of the exit is Palm Ave!

I hardly ever shop at Walmart. The few times that I've been in there I didn't even know they HAD ammo. I figured they stopped selling it when they took out all the guns. They've got it hidden from view under the counter. It's almost like they're ashamed to be selling it. I felt like I was back in high school, asking the pharmacist for a 3-pack of jimmy's.

Not much of a selection, but the prices seemed to be better than Big 5.

ammoman.com has pretty good deals, theres also a ammo price update list on ar15.com
