Got lucky yesterday at WalMart and actually found 7.62x39 Tulammo and only $5.19 a box. Could only buy 3 boxes, but as luck would have it, my wife needed 3 boxes of it too.

Academy Sports, (West) Little Rock, AR
I went to Academy Sports on W. Markham in LR, AR, today. Was advised by worker that an ammo truck is due in on Sunday, 26 May 2013.
ETA: I also stopped at one Walmart, which had 2 boxes of 9mm and a guy waiting to buy them both. So I went to a second WM, which had 6 boxes of 9mm fmj on the shelf. I bought 3, and another guy bought the other 3. (Limit 3 boxes per customer).

Any tips on finding ammo?
I'm a fairly young guy, a college student and only became interested in owning guns about two months before the panic hit. I'll admit, I may have contributed to the shortage, but I'm gonna give myself a break due to my ignorance.
Anyways I still for the life of me can't find ammo at a decent price. How have you guys been going about this lately? Should I just pay the gougers prices or put my new hobbie on hold for a few months? I keep hearing about these shipments that come into Walmart in the morning but I'm honestly doubting they exist. I check mine about 5 times a week and it looks like the ammo shelf hasn't even been touched, nothing's moved. Idk I don't mean to whine, I'm just unsure how to go about this. |

South Texas
From what I've found living in South Texas is that between Academy, Bass Pro, and 3 Walmarts, if I study when to go where on what days, I can usually find whatever I need. Yesterday I got lucky with Walmart, one of them almost always has 45acp on the day that I go, but rarely has 9mm, and I got 3 boxes of 100 rounds of 9mm. The price was fairly decent too. I think it's getting easier to find ammo down here anyway. Good luck getting your ammo.

Just happened to stop by WalMart to pick up a graduation card. Popped into the sporting goods section and was surprised to see WWB .380, .40 and .45. There was also a lot of PPU .223. Other rifle calibers pretty well stocked with Winchester brand.
A few CCI Stingers 50 round boxes .22LR. Shotgun shells were plentiful, all gauges. No 9mm or 7.62x39, but this particular WalMart was typically out of them pre-panic. |

Pops1085, welcome to the asylum, but sadly, you picked a rotten time to become interested in guns. I'm convinced that the bubble is bursting, but it will still take some time to prices to return to "normal." I don't know that we'll ever see true pre-panic prices again, but I do think prices will go down. At some point, the gougers will (or have) run out of money, and the bank and the credit card companies will sill have to be paid. That means that those fellers will have to sell something, even if it means selling below where they'd like to be.
If you have enough ammo to shoot a little, that's great. As for acquiring new ammo, you'll need to do at least two things (IMO): 1) Be patient. The ammo shipments will arrive, and there will be folks waiting to buy. You'll just have to be in the right place at the right time. 2) Make friends and network. A couple of weeks ago, a LGS had ~75 boxes of 9mm. I texted 10-15 friends about it. Yesterday, I texted them about an ammo shipment that is supposed to come in today. My friends return the favor when they see "my calibers" in stock.

I was able to pick up a box of 9mm Remington ammo at my local range on my last outing. Big props for not raping me at 15.00 for 50
Have bought a few boxes of the Tulo Russian stuff at 10 bucks a box at Wally World on the few occasions I can be there on the random lucky day and at 7 am. What I can not find at all is 32acp. Non exist ant here in SWFL

cabelas.com has .32 for $26.99 a box if you're really in need of it. It's more than Walmart, which occassionally gets it by me in Wisconsin.

Just picked up 500 rounds of 200gr Rainier plated bullets from Cabelas for approx $77 plus shipping. They ship for $5 if your order goes over $100.
Anyone see large pistol primers anywhere? |

I ask, they tell me how much has come in recently. Some are more knowledgeable than others. It's not set times when ammo comes out at the local wal mart. When it does, it often sells before it get IN the display case. They've been getting powder in also, and primers now and then. I look at the unpacked pallets on the floor near sporting goods, I've found ammo on the bottom of the pallet a couple times, and rousted out a sporting goods person to get it and sell me some.

I check the app for what I am looking for after 9:00pm. It will either say No Stock, Limited Stock (usually means 4 or fewer packs) or In stock. I have used this method to score .22lr, .38 special, .357 magnum, .45 ACP .40 S&W and 9mm at my local Wally World with a 100% hit rate so far. Of course, YMMV |

In the past week I got this ammuniiton:
At Dick's Sporting goods I got 100 rounds (5 x 20 boxes) of PMC bronze .223 out the door for less than $50 and 100 rounds of CCI minimags 22lr for $9 with coupon. At Wallyworld I picked up 100 rounds of Winchester WB 9mm for $24.47 and 50 rounds of 38spl Remington UMC for $20.57. The 38spl was a little more expensive than last year but not horrible. It seem like things are calming down a bit as the ammo at Dicks was there for 2 days before gone.

^^^ You're lucky, Bob. The Dick's in my area limit ammo purchases to 2 boxes per purchase per day. The bulk ammo boxes, they limit one.

I should clarify. The Dick's I was in has a 3 box limit on <50 count boxes of ammo and 1 box limit on boxes of 100 or more. Day one I wandered in and lo and behold there was probably 100 boxes of the PMC .223 and similar amount of the CCI 22lr. I have quite a bit of 22lr so I only picked up 2 boxes of the .223 @ $9.99 each. The receipt you get from Dick's has a survey you fill out which then gives you a coupon for $10 off purchases of $50 or more. I knew I was going back into town the next day so I took the coupon in and to my surprise there was still about 10 boxes of the PMC .223 and 2 boxes of the CCI Minimags. I grabbed 3 boxes .223 and 1 box of the .22lr. To get it up to $50 I bought a box of 20ga #8 shotshells and a small bottle of Hoppes lubricating oil. That purchase out the door with with sales tax was just shy of $43. The 2 box .223 the day before was $20.99 out the door so added together I paid $64 for 100 rds of .223, 100 rds of .22lr, 25 rds of 20ga and a bottle of oil. I did get lucky but point is that ammo sat on the shelf for at least 2 days. |

Academy had lots of 223 and 308. 32 and 44s.
They said they get lots of 9 and 22 but the morning hoarders buy it out. Bass Pro was totally out. I don't go there for ammo but was looking at camping stuff and wandered over. Saw the usual guys full of Bullpoop explaining handguns to their girl friends.

Where is everything?
People are hoarding. A guy in the local classifieds has posted he has 50 bricks of 525 LR ammo for sale! Plus other ammo! He does NOT have a store. He is selling it to make a profit. I'll shoot my pellet gun or buy a slingshot before I'll pay his prices. Maybe a nice crossbow will be my next purchase if ammo stays hard to get at reasonable prices!

At local gun show yesterday was a vendor's table covered in what was obviously WalMart-origin ammo, all at blue sky prices. Wasn't getting any takers in the two hours I was there.

DFW Report...
My jaw just about hit the floor when I walked into the sporting goods department at the Walmart at the NW corner of Midway and LBJ in Farmers Branch this morning.
When I left at 8:15am, they had: 27(!) 525rd bulks packs of Remington Golden Bullet .22LR 36gr HP (I counted 'em!) 38+/- 50rd boxes of Prvi Partizan 380 ACP 95gr FMJ 15+/- 50rd boxes of Prvi Partizan 9mm Luger 115gr FMJ 20 50rd boxes of Winchester 380 ACP 95gr FMJ This Walmart is apparently NOT limiting .22LR bulk pack purchases to 1/day like some other stores. They are applying the same 3/day limit that they're applying to all the other ammo. Happy shopping.
