Stopped by one of my Walmarts this AM. One that has been getting almost
no ammo and was pleasently surprised to see two green cans of Federal .223 55 gr FMJ. I left one for someone else. At first I thought it was the 420 round cans of XM855 they were selling this time last year for $139 and thought they had gone all CTD but when I took a closer look I saw it was 1000 rounds. Not XM855 but I'll take it. 8nBAIT |

You know that someone else is going to sell it for $1 per round in gun broker right?
|
|
Interesting. I haven't seen any 1000 rd cans.
My Wal-Mart is limiting to 3 boxes per day. That would count as one box under their directive. Wish they'd get some of that here.
|
|
That i would actually buy.
Someone on another site posted a link to a shop (which...was actually local to me...) that had wolf for 17.99/20 "But they have ammo..." Yeah...and they will for a while as far as I'm concerned. |
|
Our local Walmarts have a three box limit on all ammo in stock.
You're a lucky man... |
|
Do want, every Walmart should have these in stock by the pallet full. |
|
This store and not a green cans of 223 or 556 since about June. I was shocked to see it now. http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8189/8427350058_228d1066ff_b.jpg http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8499/8426259233_f38a0b6d13_b.jpg 8nBAIT |

Could you get me a better picture of the Walmart sticker so I can order one from my local Walmart.
The guy at the ammo counter said if I got the number he would order it for me. The SKU number |
|
I'd be all over that. Looks like I'll be hitting a few walmarts this week.
|
|
I think I'm done with recreational shooting except .22s. People jump at this, and I can't see it as anything but ridiculously overpriced. Once .223 went over $220 for 1K rounds, I stopped buying. I guess I will never buy any more.

How do you go about that? Just ask? I bought a 420 round can of M855 from Dicks some months back and I cant use it to practice with at the indoor range I shoot at. |
|
Crap, those cans are going for $20 by themselves. I picked up a can of 400 Federal .38 specials at Cabelas for $155 the other day, and was just as happy to get a .50 cal can.

I'm not familiar with the AR 223 Federal, is it good stuff?
I'm guessing it is loaded to 223 pressure? |

If I zoom in on the posted pic, the number appears to be 2946556265. The first 2 could possibly be a Z, but I'm pretty sure it's a 2. |

Damn. I can no longer afford the hobby of shooting as a sport. From here on out my firearms are only tools. Kind of sad really.
|

This is the Walmart SKU for the 495 can of ammo - 550366933

My Walmart ammo shelf has been bare as shit every tine I have gone in.
I have gone at different times of week and day. Including ten minutes ago. I wonder if the sporting goods manager is just an idiot, or worse, a fudd. |

Quoted: I'm not familiar with the AR 223 Federal, is it good stuff? I'm guessing it is loaded to 223 pressure? Loaded to .223 pressure. Says on the box that it has "harder primers," or something to that effect, and is designed for use in AR-style firearms.
|
|
If you go back and pick up the other one I will pay you some extra for it. I bought my AR over a month ago and still havent gotten ammo for it.
|
|
I dropped everything and ran up to my Walmart when I read this ... nothing. The girl there told me ammo comes in every day, but there are people waiting and it's gone by 7am.
|
|
You should have bought both and sold the second for $0.75/rd to save someone. $$ and defray the cost of the other k.
Otherwise an unscrupulous person locally will sell for $1/ea or more |
|
That's exactly what my wmt told me. 7am, 5-6 people buying anything.
FYI my wally world has like 5k 22-250. Its been there 2 weeks. |

One of the local Wal-Marts had American Eagle black box .223 for $8 per 20 all day yesterday. I even went by at 9 at night and it was still there. Signs that the panic is ending.

I can remember when we didn't get excited about paying $400 for plinking ammo. It would have been a "Look how Wally World just butt secks'd me on this ammo" thread. |

Someone asked where in WV, Morgantown.
Someone else ask for a close up of the tag. http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8497/8427534806_4999c3fbdc_b.jpg 8nBAIT |

The SKU number +1 on that request! We need to let Wal-Mart know that we want LOTS more of those 1000 rounds 50 cal boxes of .223! |

Does not cross to anything at Walmart. It didn't show up because your store is not traited to carry that ammo yet. I am betting this is a trial run at a limited number of stores to test the sales potential of this item. If you want walmart to start carrying this regularly, it needs to be bought up as soon as it hits the shelf to show them that it is a product that is in high demand. |

Quoted: Do want, every Walmart should have these in stock by the pallet full. Yeah . . . and for $87 per K ( hey . . . . a guy can dream , cant he ? ) |

|
Good score, considering the environment.
I have this bad gut feeling that in a few years we'll be reminiscing these days when WalMart sold AR ammunition by the ammo can. Like how we wish we had purchased a few $399 AKs when we had the opportunity. Does Federal box these in 7 round packages yet? Because if I already didn't have 7 rounds, I'd buy another 7. |

|
I am also in WV...I would go in shock to see anything other than 45 long colt and 20 gauge bird shot. |
|
I would drive out to WV for this. Walmart around here hasnt seen ammo in weeks. I think the manager buys it before it can even get on the shelf.
