At 49cpr, they're going to go out of business anyway. You'd be nuts to pay more than 35cpr for the junk (unless it's all you can get). Quote HistoryQuoted:
Though the supply of ZQI 5.56 x 45 mm SS109 dwindles in Walmart stores, we are committed to making it available for purchase indefinitely through our website, ZQIammo.com. We are aware that Walmart’s low retail price compelled many of you to make ZQI your go-to 5.56 ammo, and we appreciate the many positive reviews and encouragements by which you have welcomed us to the marketplace. At this point of transition for our company, we want you to know that $0.33/round was a Walmart-initiated clearance price that is not possible for us to replicate without going out of business. That said, we know price is a significant driving factor in the transaction of any commodity, and though we will not be able to approach the prices at which Walmart was willing to part with ZQI products, we will nonetheless strive, going forward, to ensure the prices we do offer are competitive when viewed against a backdrop of the overall market. At the same time, we hope you will consider the following non-monetary reasons to continue buying ZQI Ammunition… At 49cpr, they're going to go out of business anyway. You'd be nuts to pay more than 35cpr for the junk (unless it's all you can get). It's not junk, but I'm certainly not paying more than I can get Federal/Lake City for. |

Yea, the 5.56 isn't complete junk, though I don't have any use for it. The 7.62x51 IS complete junk - not worth the 50cpr except for fireworks, and a reloadable case. |

I know it won't be match ammo, but for .50 cents a round of .308 I'll be happy with a 4" group at 100

Out of my 16" BR-308, ZQI gives me around 8" groups at 100 meters.
Meanwhile, mediocre Venezuelan surplus gives me around 3"; 168 gr match about 2". Hopefully, my FALs will like it better, as I've accumulated quite a bit of it. |

I have been stocking up on the Perfecta .223. 50 round boxes @ $8.94 box, as the earlier poster stated. All Perfecta ammo is on rollback, thats why its so cheap. My local Wally has Perfecta as follows: 50 round box .223 - $8.94.. 20 round box .308 Winchester - $6.94.. 50 round box 9mm - $6.94.. 50 round box .45 Auto - $8.94.. 50 round box .40 SW - $6.94.. They also have the ZQI 7.62 for same at $6.94.. I've picked up 28 boxes of .223 and 30 boxes of .308 in the last 2 weeks. I dont shoot 9mm, but i was there today and the case was overflowing with more unopened cases on the floor. Lady told me she restocked 9mm twice today and they still had .308, so i bought more. Its replenishable too. Not something they're getting rid of just yet

If match quality ammunition gives you 2" groups at 100 yards. I'd respectfully suggest that your barrel is not match quality...so your (minute of man) 8" groups at 100 yards may be adequate for the combination of your rifle and the ZQI ammunition (which is anything but match quality ammunition). |

Do you go by the price on the shelf tag? or do you make them scan a box? I found out with the ZQI, sometimes they simply do not change the shelf tag. |

Damn here in Kali the 223 perfecta is not that cheap. Over is about double that price. Damn ur lucky. the 308 perfectas here in kali r $15 a box box of 20 and the 223 r about $19 for 50.
We don't have crazy roll back prices that. Wow. I'm jealous. I would clean house if I could. Has ur walmart got any zqi 556 ammo in? Quote HistoryQuoted:

I have been recently asking the ammo sales associates if people have stopped buying 5.56 in general and they say everyone wants those 120/ 90 round or whatever count they are of the actual green tip ammo or they are buying those little 120 round green plastic boxes for $60 of the 55 grain.

Still in South Alabama. I buy a couple boxes, and have been since the great m855 panic ended, each weekend. Last Saturday, they had about 40 boxes on the shelf. No more 7.62 however. That disappeared about 3 weeks ago.

I keep reading posts about how Walmart and ZQI are cutting ties so I guess I have been fortunate for my area.
I have bought 1800 rounds in the past 6 days. I typically buy 600 rounds at a time every time I find it at a Walmart and leave some for others but maybe I need to start cleaning the shelves if it's truly not going to be available for $10 a box anymore from Walmart. The past three times I have bought it, I ask how many boxes can I buy and the sales associate says take it all because we have so much and it's not selling (that is almost verbatim). I'm still seeing lots of 7.62 ZQI as well but have not need for it at the moment. Maybe I should stock up on that as well because I plan on getting something to make them go bang in the near future.

I'm still seeing lots of 7.62 ZQI as well but have not need for it at the moment. Maybe I should stock up on that as well because I plan on getting something to make them go bang in the near future. If you don't mind me asking, what city are you finding the ZQI 5.56? If you're not comfortable elaborating, no worries, I understand. ETA: Tried to PM You, inbox is full, prob from people asking the same question lol. |

I went by my local wally world - no ZQI. In fact, hardly any .223 or 5.56. But then the DC metro area isn't exactly a great ammo area to begin with.

You guys made me nervous with the possibility of no more decent cheap range ammo. Picked up another 29 boxes of 5.56 while I was out this evening but no 7.62.

It seems wally world is distributing certain zqi ammos to certain states. Here in Kali we have plenty 7.62 but no zqi 556

I'll buy it at WM prices because it's reasonably priced and locally available, but I'm not buying at the higher direct web price when I can get better ammo for the same price or cheaper and still have to ship it. I hope they rethink this... |

ZQI is not breaking with Walmart.
Walmart had a contract for XXX amount of ZQI. It did not sell at the normal price because all the regular ammo started showing back up just as the ZQI did. It sat on the shelves for months, because it cost more than other similar ammo. Walmart does not like that , so Walmart lowered the price to get rid of it. They are selling it at or below their cost. It is a CLEARANCE price. SEE ZQI Facebook page for more details. ETA for the facebook impaired  :
ZQI Facebook snip it:
We really appreciate all of you who have expressed genuine interest in the future of ZQI Ammunition as it has become apparent in recent weeks that there is almost no ZQI SS109 remaining in Walmart stores. At the same time, I want to be very clear in refuting the partially lingering assumption that we are CHOOSING to leave Walmart and correspondingly to increase our prices significantly. I would like to set the record straight once more… $0.33 was an artificial price from the get-go, and we could never, at any time in the past, have made a business by selling SS109 to anyone for that price, let alone less. Therefore, it is not as though we have a choice to stay in Walmart but are choosing to leave. We don't have a choice, because there is no possible way for us to sell this ammo to Walmart in a way that enables Walmart to continue retailing it for $0.33. This $0.33 retail price was offered for a time entirely courtesy of Walmart. It was a clearance price. . . |

I hope they rethink this... I don't think they have a choice. I believe Walmart contracted with ZQ1 at a high price for a large quantity of ammunition when ammo was hard to find and more expensive post Sandy Hook. It started sitting on shelves at the high price as the rest of the ammunition market normalized. Walmart already had the contract with ZQ1 for the large quanity though. Walmart decided to cut their losses and clear out the shelf space. Walmart lowered the price and sold it at a loss. Once the contract was fulfilled Walmart of course chose not to refill it as it was all being sold for a loss. ZQ1 can't import the ammunition cheap enough, now that Walmart has fulfilled their contract ZQ1 is looking for new buyers but won't find any because their import/production costs are too high. ZQ1 will most likely go out of business now, though possibly they will find a cheaper source of ammunition than their original Turkish suppliers and be able to lower their prices. Alternatively if they can get high end loads made at decent prices they might find a niche market. If I was holding ZQ1 stock right now I would sell it all immediately. |

Too be honest, I did feel bad. Maybe my recent good deed helped wash my recent neck beard buy. I was first in line last week at Walmart in the evening (they still had .22lr ammo at 6:30pm) and they had 3 boxes of CCI 36grn hollow points left. It's not ammo I like but was going to get it just because it's scarce. A father and son walked up and the kid was very excited that they had .22lr ammo so he could shoot his 10/22. I let them have it. Who knows, maybe it was a scam and they resold it but they thanked me numerous times so it seemed legit.

One of my local Walmarts had 140-150 boxes of the 5.56 today. They still had five 100 round boxes of the CCI 36grn hollow point this evening. They also had two 7.62 640 round spam cans for $166. I assume this is steel ammo, it had no name on the can.

Last Thursday picked up three boxes of 7.62 ZQ and last night bought 11 more. No 5.56 though.

I'm about to pick up 30 more of 7.62. To bad there isn't anymore 556 zqi left.
I'll probably end up with 5k+ of 7.62 |
