Had to walk away from 500 rds of .45 today because they couldn't find the key.

The Academy in Mesquite had 900 rd tin of 9mm for $200. I assume steel cased military surplus.

Bought 500 rds of WWB at my local Walmart today. The manager was behind the counter (usually not the person behind the counter at this Walmart). She assured me that ammo was coming in daily and orders were being placed to restock the shelves.
I mentioned the rumors on the Internet and she again assured me that orders were being placed. Also let me buy as much of the 40 as I wanted (I left a few boxes).
Maybe Walmart has heard/felt the backlash and shifted their ill advised policy.

I wouldn't be surprised at all if walmart is enacting policies to deal with the shortage of ammo and volatile demand. It would even make sense for them to wait till the administration makes clear their proposals (which likely will not affect in store ammo sales) so that sanity can return and they can better gauge demand over the time period in which they could possibly get ammo on the shelves. Write your congressman, join the NRA, and stop the panic.

Hasn't been practiced in Ellis county for 5 years. Not even half that. Can't speak for other places.

ZOMG!

Not the end of the world, just the end of the easiest access to ammo.

However, when you hear the same story from multiple sources at different stores there is a greater likely hood that there is truth attached.

How many SKU's are in a Walmart? Imagine if someone had to physically input an "order" for each one every week. It would never work!

Actually for the ammo and rifles the store managers place the orders based on inventory.

Hearing a pretty consistent story from Walmart employees. Went to 3 stores last night. Being told that store managers were notified not to place ammo orders until further notice. All orders will be placed and ammo will be distributed by Corporate.
Some say this means they won't be getting ammo for a while, others said this was an attempt to better distribute ammo to stores across the country. Given the timing many are tying the move to Walmarts meeting with Biden. Time will tell.

BTW, had to walk away from 600 rounds of WWB .40 because they couldn't find he key to the ammo case.

Also discovered that Walmart does not sell ammo after 10:00pm. May have been that way a while but it was new info to me.

Hearing rumors on FB and at Walmart stores that Walmart Corp has told it's managers not to order ammo until further notice. Anyone hearing anything?
