Default walMart ammo large price increase
stopped by wally world this morning for some 9mm WWB 100 packs, there were none in stock at the East Syracuse store, but I noted the price has jumped to $23.97 a box! This is from $20.97 a week ago and $19.97 last year. I hope AST gets my AA .22 conversioin kit in soon.

Is that the federal bulk pack? I just grabbed another 3 boxes when I was at the local one, in Vestal, sometime this week and paid $15. I swore that it had been ~$13 box every time I bought it previously though...

federal 500's was 18.47 per box in binghamton, and I was told in camillus the prie will be that at the next shipment

the other one they had was up to 15.something from 13.something.

this sucks

I haven't even seen any other Federal 22lr except the 550 count bulk packs at the Binghamton/Vestal store. I figured they only carried the bulk packs...

Could you recommend a few good websites?

I hit up 4 local Walmarts this afternoon and only 1 had WWB 100 packs and any .22lr bulk packs--both at the new prices.

Not really.....I haven't found any place online that compares to Walmarts prices (although now it appears they may be going up). Especially when you factor in shipping.

I have some Russian Bear ammo on order from SG that was under 20 cents a round. Hopefully better than the Pakistani ammo.

If anyone is considering buying ammo in bulk, we may want to start a group buy thing. Cheaper in volume....

Are you looking for 9mm? FMJ for the range or JHP for carry? Quantity?

I've been "exploring" some full case auctions on GB and am tempted to bite. Some are offering free shipping w/ case quantities.

Just FMJ for range use. I'm hopefully gonna end up reloading soon and won't ever buy ammo again though but for now I have to make weekly trips to Walmart

I'd be interested in a bulk buy for either 9mm FMJ or .22 lr (rem gold dot or cci mini mag).

If the Russian Bear ammo from SG works out, I may invest in a few thousand more rounds of that.

I don't have enough time to even shoot as much as I would like, definitely no time to spend reloading.

someone was asking for a link to cheap 9MM. I've shot some of this, although I didn't buy it directly from them. Seems to be good stuff for reloaded ammo.

Attention

Click on the link. $240/1000
