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

[12many]

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.

Yea when I first saw it a WM the price kinda thru me for a loop as it wasn't in line with the other brands they had there. Never gave it a second look after that.

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.

I got mine for 36 cents per

I just came back from the range, ran 40 rounds of ZQ1 7.62 NATO in my AR-308, no issues. I was hitting a 12 inch steel plate, dead center, at 200 yds with no problems. Cleaning my AR and it didn't seem dirtier than with other ammo. Personally I think this great target ammo. I picked up the last 4 boxes at that Brazil Wal-Mart.

Was just at the Avon WM. They had at least 20 boxes of the 7.62 but no .223.
Ive been real happy with both calibers.

They had 32 boxes, well now they have 12 left.

I have seen some mixed results on here but in my experience, their 308 and especially their 9mm sucks terrible. But I just saw this video Tim over on MAC posted and thought I'd post it up on here for you guys!

They were basically replaced with another manufacturer that makes brass cased boxer primed stuff overseas. Maybe also in Turkey? The stuff comes in a brown and green cardboard box

Perfecta Ammunition ,I think is what you're describing. Distributed by Tulammo, the 9mm I bought says made in Italy. $10.97 per 50

 

[singlesix]

Yeah and twice as much as ZQ1.

 

[copperhead-1911]

Yeah and twice as much as ZQ1.

I think their 45 acp was like $18 for 50 rounds. That is pretty good these days.

IIRC they carried the Perfecta first, then went to ZQI and now back to the Perfecta.

I just saw ZQI, ammo in Wal Mart, yesterday.....4-25-2015.

Didn't pay attention to Cal., or price .....

 

[singlesix]

Plainfield still has 7.62 NATO

 

[THE BIG SITT]

I still see some 7.62 in Walmart, but haven't seen any 5.56. Most stores seem to have Perfect 223 55gr now though.

Used a bunch of the 9mm. The higher priced was in a white box and NATO rounds. 124gr. I never did buy that. There was a tan/red box that was "NATO Spec" and 123gr. Still sealed green primers, etc. I think it was about half the price. I remember it being cheaper than federal.
Now i know why I donlt see it anymore. It shot well in 9mm

Bought some 7.62 from them a few months back, no complaints. I think it was about $10 a box when I got it, and iirc they had 30-rd boxes of 5.56 for $10 apiece too. That was, at least, back then
