Ammo hoarders and gougers!

[vliberatore]

Was with my fiance at WalMart tonight and picked up 6 boxes of PPU in .223. Not a bad deal for $.40/round considering most places are still above $.50/round

Nice score. Glad to see ammo back on the shelf.

Was at Wally World today. Decided to hang around for the ammo, was told 4 pm at 4 spoke to clerk he said truck not even there then if has to off load.

The 4 guys there I guess they are there every stinking day. Pi$$ed me off actually. They are prepping and price gouging. If it was not fr the old guys club of 10 guys going to the Wally World, looks like everyone else would have ammo.

Did run into a guy trying to purchase an extra 600 rds for a wounded warrior shoot tomorrow. Has 300 WW going out.

My local walmart doesn't have much ammo. Supposedly they get some in but I never see it. I know that the truck comes in around 7:30am. I usually buy the less popular stuff and it never is there.

who cares if they buy it all? maybe you should have been stocking up all along. I had at least 2k of all my calibers BEFORE all this stuff happened.

My God...BOTH prepping AND price gouging. And old guys, to boot.

Everyone else would have ammo if they had the intelligence and foresight to buy a bit each time they're in the store, whether big-box or friendly local gun store.

It is hard when you're pissed at yourself, though.

Went by one of the local Wal Marts, it never has any ammo. What I see in the case instead? God damn air soft pistols.

Ha! My local WalMart has typically picked clean but they make the ammo cabinet look full by filling it with boxes for optics. I was rather surprised to find .223 for sub $.50/rd but it was never as crazy out here as it was in Ca.

get ready for real stupidity if any of the ammo bills pass and get signed.

At least your Walmarts sell ammo.Alameda and Contra Costa county Walmarts don't even carry it.Have to drive to Tracy.

Looks like some .45 too, nice. My Walmart's always looks like "Old Mother Hubbards Cupboard" unless you want .270

Being one of the .000001% of calgun members here that actually shoot and uses ammo I find you bragging about your prowess of 2k rounds very very funny.

In my area ammo is hard to find, well at least it was. I now just buy online. Best deal so far has been 1k AE .233 41cents shipped from PSA.

Honestly, I don't get why people even take the time out of their day to pursue ammo in any caliber at Walmart. Between the so-so/ho-hum pricing, quantity limits, time waiting in line, tax, and having to be visually assaulted by overweight soccer-moms in yoga-pants 1/2 their proper size showing some zit-covered plumber's-crack or scary-hairy camel-toe, it's just not worth it.

I suppose if Walmart were a regular trip for other purposes and household needs, I might check in to see what they have, but it would not be the focus as to why I would even walk through their doors, so in that regard, I don't understand why "professional hoarders" would even waste their time at this point. Supply and prices are returning to more logical levels, so I'm baffled.

Inside of a couple of clicks, and very little time, I can have thousands of rounds of brass-cased/boxer primed ammo shipped directly to my office, at much cheaper than Walmart pricing even with the shipping costs. And PPU is some of the cheaper stuff going on most internet ammo sellers too. And I spend very little time doing so; no limits, no waiting at the counter for stock to arrive, no waiting in line, simple. My time is more valuable than the slight difference in cost, so even if I were spending a couple of cents more per round on ammo by buying over the internet, the lack of wait-time at the counter or in line, saves several cents over the Walmart route.

Only amateur hoarders buy their ammo at Walmart.
