Walmart announces 3 box limit on ammo purchases

Re: Walmart announces 3 box limit on ammo purchases

No surprise. Most local ammo suppliers seem to be doing this. I believe the Sportsman's Warehouse near me is limiting to 2 boxes of ammo. Not sure. They're also limited bullets and powder.

Its to limit all the dudes buying out Walmart, then walking next door to the gun show and tripling their dough... All I have to say is HAHAHA FUCKERS

Yes, but only for the popular calibers- 9mm, 45acp, 22lr, 223rem, and 308win. You can only buy one box of each, and 3 boxes total of the above. These are kept at customer service. The rest of the ammo shelf is fair game.

This is exactly what the manager at a local Academy said too...

My Sportsman's Warehouse would be doing this too, if they had any ammunition to sell to me at the moment.

I couldn't find a single .30 caliber bullet, or loaded cartridge in .308 Win the other day.

Guess my Academy is different. While I should have been clear and you are right about the other ammo, the Academy here only sells one box at a time of the mentioned ammo.

Re: Walmart announces 3 box limit on ammo purchases

Most of the Raleigh area Wal-Marts imposed this "3 box per day" limit about two weeks ago. Not that they really have much on the shelves to sell anyway.

</div></div>Well, I guess I would have no problem with that IF they had the calibers I want. They seem never to have 9mm or .22LR! .22LR? I don't get it.

Re: Walmart announces 3 box limit on ammo purchases

My local Walmart has had limits for a long time. It varies with how much they had on hand. Last deer season there was some guy bitching that he could not buy two boxes of ammo. Aparently there was a run on ammo back then also.

I only buy 22lr from them and at times it was a single box and it went up to six once.

Re: Walmart announces 3 box limit on ammo purchases

Walmart = FAIL

No 22lr all, that's all I was looking for. They did have a few boxes of turkey loads that I wanted to buy. After waiting 20 minutes for the F-TARD with the key to the ammo case to show up, I told him Walmart could suck it, and I left.

Re: Walmart announces 3 box limit on ammo purchases

Good, we have a some what major firearm and ammo store here buying up the local Wally ammo and raising the price considerable to resell. Caught them once at the WalMart.

Re: Walmart announces 3 box limit on ammo purchases

For the last four years my local Wally World has had a limit of 6 boxes per customer. Now the limit is down to three boxes per day.

Really does not matter though as the shelves have been empty for the last three months.

Re: Walmart announces 3 box limit on ammo purchases

I just happened to be walking by the counter at my local Walmart last week when they started stocking the shelves with 9mm and 223. The guy kept telling people about the three box limit but quite a few people grabbed what they could and wouldn't give it up.

It's like ammo is the new food and if people don't have it they won't survive.

Not as bad as the sporting goods employee saying "i cant sell you any ammo because the manager just bought the entire pallet"

Re: Walmart announces 3 box limit on ammo purchases

Just bought a Kimber 22lr conversion from Midway for my 1911 and tried to purchase 3 GSG 10 round 22lr conversion mags and was limited to 2 mags. Tried again today to order a 3rd mag and was still denied because of the two limit per person policy.

Exactly!!!! It's going to be hilarious when the panic passes and they are sitting on all that ammo that they have to sell for a loss!

totally agree...

...when the local had a limit before, it was no problem for me to go in 5 days in a row and pick up my 2 boxes each day...took a little longer, but I got what I wanted

Re: Walmart announces 3 box limit on ammo purchases

The Walmart in Roswell NM got some of the Bulk American Eagle .223 55 gr.
1000 rds with ammo box for $400.00 and 400 rds with ammo box for $175.00.
I got 1 of the 1000 rd cans. They didn't say anything about a limit. But I just got one. There were more people than they had cans for.

Re: Walmart announces 3 box limit on ammo purchases

They have had it up for a while here.. .Im OK with it. I like actually being able to walk up and buy some and leave instead of some random douche buying the entire stock just to sit in his basement and watch the boxes mold or selling it all at gunshows to other kooks for 3X the price.

Re: Walmart announces 3 box limit on ammo purchases

Your lucky Don n Texas. Great score in Roswell. Suspect they have plenty of ammo to fight off the ever present outerspace alien threat. Wait till you get back to Texas. Your local Walmart and Academy has been picked clean. At least in Austin they are sold out.

Re: Walmart announces 3 box limit on ammo purchases

I have seen 30-06 and 7mm-08 stacked high in the local Walmart. 45 long colt too, my problem is not so much with assholes buying up all of the ammo, it is reloading components!!! I have a partial pound of retumbo left, then I guess will have to sit under a bridge with a sign that reads "hand jobs for Hogdon's"! They are going to ban our ar's chambered in 7mmRM I guess....

It is picked clean here too. No 12 gage shot shells either. The only ammo left here is 17 hmr & 20 gage.
This is the second time I got lucky at Walmart. Just before I left town I stopped at Walmart. The guy was just starting to put 20 of the 20 round American Eagle out. I got all 20 boxes for $11.00 a box.
Now before anyone jumps on me for hording. I have two brothers and we have kids that shoot. Some of this ammo will be resold to them at my cost. I will keep the can.

Re: Walmart announces 3 box limit on ammo purchases

My closest Wal-Mart has a good supply of .270, 30-06, and 150 grain .308 but that is about it. I spoke with the manager last night and was told that a shipment of .223 was due in today but I don’t own a .223 and I am sure it will be sold within an hour of putting it out.
