I shy away from buying at Walmart to avoid having to stand in line and breath neckbeard fumes. Their days may be limited, I'm seeing prices start to drop once again. Fingers crossed we're heading in the right direction.

That cracked me the heck up.

The Wal-mart in Lavon is usually pretty dusty in the ammo-shelf region. Unless it's hunting rifle ammo, there's not much to be seen. Evidently hoarders pick it clean every delivery day.

Where is the Wal-Mart in Lavon? I know there's one in Wylie, but...

Actually, .22LR has a lot of uses. When times get rough, it will put small game on the table when larger calibers will turn the meat into mush. It's effective for snakes, rodents,& varmints.

It can also be effective and inexpensive practice ammo. I have a 1911 set up with a .22 slide conversion which is perfect for getting back to basics without the distraction of recoil & muzzle blast.

Besides, it's fun!!!

I stopped by GT Distributors in Dallas today. They had Hornady Critical Duty ammo in all available calibers. All of it is marked "LE Only" except for the .45 ACP.

I picked up two 50-round boxes for $29.99 each + tax. These are the 220 gr .45 +P rounds.

It was there when I posted it. A coworker had just ordered some immediately before I posted.

Now, it says "in stock", but when you try to add it to your cart, it comes back with a message saying it's out of stock.

Cabela's has 9mm Remington UMC FMJ on sale for $13.99 for a box of 50.

I believe there is no shipping charge if you use "ship to store".

At $35 per 100 rds that is a bit expensive. It used to cost $20-$24 per 100 rds.

That same box was $30 cheaper in December but it is what it is. If you want to shoot, you pay to play the game.

I used to pay 17.9¢ a gallon for premium gasoline. That ain't coming back either.

This afternoon, GT Distributors in Dallas had American Eagle 9mm 115gr FMJ for $13.99 a box. Limit 2.

Good question though... How much ammo is too much?

and when one buys a case, how many boxes are in a case???

How much do you guys have? I had two boxes.. They are gone now. I need more... figured I might buy 500 rounds.

Would that be hoarding???

500 rounds of HST might be hoarding. 500 rounds of range ammo is a couple hours of fun.

I fixed your mistake for you.

I've shot a lot of Fiocchi .45 & .223 and never had a single problem.
