Wal-Mart Ammo Prices

[XtremeVel]

The fast guys running progressive presses can get 400 rounds an hour. You have setup time to figure in though. I have not time myself on the turret press yet.

That ( progressive ) sounds like the best fit for him... I am a huge Turret fan, but that 400 rounds a week, possibly more, is definitely at the point where it could become more a PITA than a enjoyable hobby.

Right now, any reloading is better than no reloading...can't afford a progressive system ATM

What 223 ammo does walmart have and what is the price?

I can't afford to buy you one right now, but thanks for letting me know.

They have Tula and American Eagle both in 55 grain. I believe the American Eagle is about 5.99 per box or at least it was at one in Louisville. I don't know how much the Tula is.

When I get my first million, I'll buy you one!

 

[xanderphillips]

I'd like in on that offer too! If you get 2 million can I get a press from you too? I need to be able to do .45 and 9mm, possibly .22lr if that's also cost effective.

<grin>

When I get my first million, I'll buy you one!

$149.00 for 420 rounds of 5.56 M855 in a can..

I have to agree I do not like to shop at Wal Mart however I feel for the same thing as well. I normally order my ammo from ammunition to go but with prices like that well what can I say. I do wish they would have 223 in higher than 55 grain

I would never suggest someone start out with a progressive, unless they were actively competing in pistol matches. However, if you're paying to purchase 300 - 400 rounds of 45ACP ammo each week, I would submit that you have at least SOME disposable income!

Buy a Lee Classic Turret press, along with the accessories spelled out in the various threads we've had. Read the reloading chapters of a book two or three times, or take a class. Watch the Youtube videos. You'll be cranking out 100 - 150/hr within the first few days. Later, you'll wonder how you EVER shot so many rounds w/o reloading.

If you ever get a 223 and want lots of ammo in something other than 55gr ball, YOU will have the ability to create it. Buying ammo is for suckahs! (just kidding guys...)

Which location is this at? Is the ammo on display or behind the counter and you have to ask for it?

I've never seen them either but I have heard that some carry it.

That's not how much I shoot right now, that's how much I'd like to shoot.

Well, if you're going to shoot that much, and still send your kids to college, it's time to learn how to reload!

Paid $19.97 + tax for 100 round box of Federal 9mm at Waldo World. Hate to do it but that is pretty cheap. Winchester slightly more.

I typically do not purchase 223 ammo at Walmart. Someone at Gun shows usually have a decent deal on Lake City, Federal or PMC 5.56.

I've loaded up 1,000 rounds of 9mm in the last few months, at an avg. cost of $.12/rd. Your cost is roughly $215/1000 at the wally world price or $120/1000 for my reloads, and I get to have fun reloading 'em!

To each their own. I'm not REALLY knocking anyone's choice to buy ammo, but I like the process of reloading. The fact that it saves me almost $100 per thousand rounds is really just icing on the cake, ya know?

I'm collecting brass now with the hopes to starting to reload in December. Why kind of reloader do you have?
