Re: ammo on sale
I've been checking Walmart around Austin here and there, especially after seeing a few different calibers in stock that weren't showing on ammo-can. Mostly they have little to nothing, but I'll make a point to post here if/when I find anything.
I'm hoping most for the ~$38, 100 count boxes of Federal 223 to come back... but I'm not holding my breath.

Re: ammo on sale
Went to Academy on the southside of SA & all they had in 9MM was 2 boxs of Remington FMJ for $43. I get FMJ from my gun store range for $19.

Re: ammo on sale
Wow! Ammo is loosening up. I went to Academy in Arlington today and they were loaded, excuse the pun. Saw 223, 40, 45, and 9 mm. There was also some other stuff. New policy is 2 boxes per caliber or 100 rounds per caliber. I bought 2 boxes of 9 mm Winchester NATO. It was all selling fast and Academy hasen't gone up on price. Remember that.

Re: ammo on sale
The Cabela's in Allen has loosened their restrictions. They no longer restrict purchases of center-fire ammo. They still limit .22 to 100 rounds.
Range Rule: "The front gate lock is not an acceptable target."

Re: ammo on sale
9mm and .380 ammo in stock at the Walmart on Sawdust Road, near The Woodlands. Had 37 boxes of 9 and 40 or so boxes of .380. It's Tulo Brass cased stuff. 9mm is $13.97 a box, I assume the .380 is close to the same.
Edited to say that the 9mm is 115FMJ, not sure about the .380, but I think it's whatever weight is the most common for FMJ .380.

Re: ammo on sale
The Academy at I-10 & Grand Parkway in Katy had more .45 caliber in stock today than I've seen in a very long time. Several brands to choose from.
Edited to add: I was able to purchase Hornady Critical Defense in .40 & 9mm. I haven't found this available in 9mm for several months.

Re: ammo on sale
I was there this afternoon. Plenty of 45 and 40 and many others but no 22. Got a box of hydra shok in 40. Went around the corner to Gander and they were a bit thin but seemed to have something in most calibers but they had some .22 CB shorts in 100 rd boxes. I have trouble remembering the last time I saw some on the shelves anywhere. I think they removed the limit but I only picked up 2 at 9.99 eachWhoWouldGuess wrote:They still have a good selection of ammo near the entrance.kennic wrote:Academy at Highway 6 and 290 in Houston, had just about everything today.

Re: ammo on sale
The "CB" rounds have almost no powder in them. They turned my Model 74 Winchester .22 Short into a single shot rifle because there was not enough powder in the cartridge to cycle the slide back. I think they're made for pest control but I'm not sure. I still have 2.5 100 round boxes of this stuff manufactured by CCI. Anybody want it? 5 bucks and you pick it up in Westlake / Trophy Club area!!JRG wrote:Ummm.........I don't shoot 22 but, and I'm showing that here, what is the abbreviation CB stand for??puma guy wrote:I didn't notice it was for CB.

Unfortunately, the link is to .22 CB Short ammo, not LR. Natchez has no .22 LR in stock in any brand. Good thing I still have a little left. You'd think .22 would loosen up before larger calibers, but it's still choked in the marketplace.

And if anyone did the math, yes. I shot half a box and tore this gun apart 10 times before I figured it out....

Re: ammo on sale
Location of sighting: Walmart, West Main St./FM1171, Lewisville, TX.
Date/time of sighting: Tuesday, 7/30/13, 900 PM.
Ammo spotted: Winchester PDX1 Defender, .45 ACP, JHP, 10 boxes (probably 20-25 rounds each).
No other handgun ammo of any type was available.
As a disconcerting note at this location, since they are getting so little ammo in, they have
taken 50% of the former ammo cabinet space and filled it with knives. Then they jammed all
the little ID tags for each ammo type/price into 1 of the 2 former ammo cabinets.

Location of sighting: Walmart, Hebron Parkway/FM3040, Lewisville, TX.
Date/time of sighting: Wednesday, 7/31/13, 240 PM.

Re: ammo on sale
I'm on the Denton/Collin county line and I go to the Academy in Frisco on Preston between Lebanon and Warren. Mondays are usually when I go and this week they had their entire counter at the front full of ammo. From .22 to 9mm to .223. They limit bulk ammo to one box(100+ rds), but allow 2 boxes of anything less. The .22lr wasn't as abundant, but you should be able to find whatever you need outside of that.banshee wrote:any good places to buy ammo around n dallas, denton county. flower mound Lewisville really sucks my friend in mesquite finds it all the time
Definitely call first so you don't waste a trip just in case there was a rush or something.
Good luck.
