Ammo at Cabelas

[Rob54]

I stopped in at Cabelas in Hammond yesterday. Lots of ammo, but no 9mm or 22 caliber. I bought 2 boxes of 45s at $23 each. They had a whole shelf full of 223s and 762s. Plenty of 38, 40, 380, 25, and some 357. Their prices seemed reasonable, more than I paid in early December, but not really gouging. They have signs limiting 22 caliber purchases to 1 box. I asked a rep where he hides it and he laughed. There is a line every morning and if any shows up it is gone in 15 minutes. He says they never know when they will get a shipment. They had bricks of 22s on Tuesday that sold out in minutes.

I wish I lived close to them... Had to order my .223 online with a maximum of 5 boxes [100 rounds] per day. I guess 100 > 0.

I do not think it's per day, it's per order.
Last time they had AE 556 I ordered 5 and 5 back to back with no problems an even chose in store pickup. Both arrived the same day.

It says "Limit 5 per customer, per day."

If you're right I could theoretically circumvent this limitation but being an honest and ethical person I would not be inclined to do so... The only thing I could possibly do is have my wife register and place an order as well as I know she'll want to shoot 95% of the 100 rounds I have coming!

I just went and looked and it does now state per person per day.
I am confident, that the last time I ordered it did not say that; it only said per order - as I would not have wasted the time putting in a second order. I would have simply got my 5 boxes and moved on, because I would have assumed that there were checks in place to void dup orders.

Has anyone visieted the new cabelas in Louisville yet? Any ammo there?

I have to go up to Chicago at the end of the month. I might have to stop by and see if they have any ammo!

I wish there was a Cabelas closer to Indy. I have $100 gift card to spend

I live less than 5 minutes away from the Hammond Cabela's, maybe 3 miles tops or less. But that doesn't help very much if you don't know when the ammo is available. Last few times I have stopped by, the shelves were empty. They used to have 2 separate aisles for rifle and pistol ammo, with shelves totally stocked on the left and right side of the aisle (shotgun ammo was in a totally separate isle). Last time I was there the aisles were rearranged so that the rifle ammo was all one side of one aisle, and pistol ammo wasn't even half of that. I probably hit it when the cupboard was bare. Sure hope that situation improves soon!

When I was there last Wednesday, it was fully stocked except for 22's. THe crowd was devouring it rapidly though. Limit 5 boxes centerfire and five boxes of 22 which were all subsonic 100 rd boxes. Store is easy to get to, maybe 15 min east of I-65 bridge. A lot closer to Indy than the Crown Point store.

Out of the big box stores, cabelas is my favorite. I get flyers for 20% off once in a while, they come in handy. They were guilty of price gouging a bit, but the increase could have came from their wholesalers also.

Cattman thanks for the info!

Finally found some 9mm at the Hammond store this morning.

I Think I need to buy a 12g since there always seems to be plenty of that around.

 

[Rob54]

Went to Blythes in Valpo this morning to use the range and they had 9mm! They had a little of everything......except 22s
