The Party's Over for Walmart ZQI Ammo...

I hate to deliver the bad news here, but my brother just saw this on Facebook:

Never tried their ammo.

Damn! Should have grabbed what was on the shelf today.

Thats a bummer, I've shot about 1000rds of it and its always gone bang

Walmart always wants low price and sometimes manufacturers just can't sustain that low price. I don't fault either of them. Their ammo will still be available at your LGS or online. So if you like it you will still be able to get it, it'll just cost you what it's worth.

Walmart says if it's not good enough in China then we can't sell it here!

Walmart sucks

According to that Facebook page, we can buy directly from them for the bargain basement price of $0.48-0.50/round. Ummm...no. No thankyou.

Won't miss it at all. I avoid the Wal-Mart gun counter anyway. At my store there is never anyone there and you need a telescope to read the boxes anyway.

Haven't stepped foot in a Wal-Mart in years. Real interesting folk in there to say the least.

You could buy 308 for 9.99 a box and that is a deal, but that ammo is filthy! I tried a box of 9mm and it was like someone dumped cat litter in my gun and put it back together... I tried a couple 308 and they seemed to be similar. I wouldn't shoot it anyhow! And 48cents a round is nuts! You could buy some nice ammo for that!

Wallyworld is there exclusive distributor in the US....at least currently. Maybe it's available online, but don't look for it at your LGS.....you won't find it there or anywhere else.

Those prices are for SS109 and include shipping... on a smaller lot like that, shipping isn't cheap. IMHO, they aren't exactly out of line; but you could save money by buying a larger lot (shipping cost will be more economical on a per-round basis).

ZQI, at my local Walmart, was always way more expensive than comparable brands (particularly the Federal XM855), so I never bought any.

Now they are making their prices even higher. Uhm, good luck with that, I guess.

WalMart can kiss my American a...

Hmmm....yeah, I didn't catch that. As I do mostly "plinking", I'm looking for lowest $/rnd. My needs don't require SS109 so, still my answer is thanks but no thanks.

Once they're done with Walmart the exclusivity will disappear and their ammo will be in stores. Contracts don't last forever.

Meh. If I buy retail ammo I usually go for steel-cased. It's not worth it paying any more than 0.25/round since I started reloading.

 

[copperhead-1911]

Some one else will come along that wants the business like the law of supply and demand.

 

[citizenkane]

Yeah I think recent panic got them thinking they could get more for their ammo. Fifty cents a round isnt cheap for 62grn 5.56. I could get a case of federal right now from PSA for $450 shipped. Hmmm, Turkish or federal? Tough choice lol. I bought some federal 62grn for 38 cpr delivered in February.
