I asked the clerk, he said that each store sets their own policy on that (maybe he was making that up???), but he says they get "shopped" a lot if they don't limit it.

Thanks Quahog,
by the way, i picked you up a pack of splat targets, they are not the self-adhesive ones, but you have a stapler, and they are 25 for the price of 8 of the sticky ones.

In Wal-Mart yesterday I saw boxes of WWB that looked almost
like the usual WWB's, but these were marked "9MM, Full Metal Jacket, NATO".

Do boxes marked "NATO" contain rounds that are any different from
WWB simply marked "9MM, Full Metal Jacket" ?

Thanks in advance.

Here's what I know:

Most 9mm Luger ammo is 115gr, 9mm NATO standard is 124gr. The NATO rounds are also higher pressure, but not by much, maybe 2,000 PSI higher, closer to a 9mm+P.

I would treat the NATO rounds like +P; in other words I would not make a habit of using it for plinking as it wears your gun a bit more. On the other hand, 9mm NATO is the standard for most of the world's guns and any modern well kept 9mm should have no trouble handling it.

And I think you're wrong. I wasn't even aware they had limits (I've seen no signs indicating such), and I don't buy the shelves out of .380 any time I see it. I just get a couple of boxes to put into my ammo stores at home, and continue on my way. In fact, they've had it the last three times I was there. I think the reason Wal-Mart is always out of .380 is because they only carry WWB, and increasing .380 production does not seem to be high on Winchester's priority list..

This is not a matter of opinion. Businesses place these limits to maintain quantities for their customers; there is simply no other reason, it brings customers into the store because they can rely on finding what they need. Without these limits, the first person who walks in the door on the day of a rare shipment will buy the entire store's stock of .380 ammo; and it will quite possibly be a person that a store employee calls that morning, almost completely guaranteeing that the general public will have zero access to .380 ammo.

So if customers want those products to still be available in the stores that they have relied on, they must be in favor of reasonable limits. This is not a principle that I want to be true or believe to be true, this is reality. Now I know that Wal-Mart won't ever keep up with demand, so it doesn't matter with them, but if Academy and Cabela's follow suit, it's game over for finding inexpensive .380 ammo for any of us. Is this what we want?

Please stop painting my ability to buy as many boxes as I see fit into the ammo apocalypse. The sky is not falling, with only purchasing limits barely managing to hold it up.
