    Visited Wal-Mart again today and the shelves are still empty. I suspect people are getting there or monitoring when a truck arrives and buying all they can. I'm sure some are using it, or tucking it away but my bet says many are then selling them on GunBroker for 2X the cost.

      I personally sold $400 worth of ammo this week I had no intentions of doing anything with... fairly easy! Seems .22LR is at a crazy premium right now since everywhere it is out including online. I still see the $25/525 packs going for at least 2X that! It's easier to find 9mm, 10mm, etc... than .22LR it seems.

I went into Wally World yesterday too. All they had was .22SR, and some .17HMR.

I've temporarily thrown in the towel on the shooting sports. I don't want to burn through any primers or powder until this hysteria blows over.

Glad I have deep stock.  Keeps me shooting at least as much as possible given winter weather and the time suck moving has become.

I went the other night and there was 7 boxes of 40 and 3 boxes of 45 with a 3 box limit :o

REDLINE

At Walmart I'm seeing 40S&W and 45 Auto (neither is WWB).  For rimfire just 22 Mag and 17 HMR.  No 223 or 308, but plenty of other rifle fodder.
Gun Control?  Oh yes, the theory that becoming a victim is somehow morally superior to defending yourself & your family.  Makes perfect sense.

I still have my 550 .22LR Federal Value Packs from Walmart that I payed $11.97 about 3 years ago. Our local store seems to have alot of 380 that use to be a hot seller.  Have seen some 38, but no target 9mm ammo at all only top dollar "zombie" ammo from Hornady for like $26+ per box of 20. They have lots of 30-06 and other Rifle ammo though with the exception of 5.56 or 7.62x39
