Wal Mart Value Packs

[nahfuten]

what are you running the federal 22lr ammo through? i have thought of giving it a try, but i usually stick with the minimags.

Ruger 10/22 and Walther P22... Always worked great in the Ruger, and works great in the Walther after breaking it in with 3-4 minimags.

federal 9mm ammo is usually cheaper. But yes WWB is cheap.

Walmart has Federal 9mm value packs? What color is the box, so I can keep an eye out for it!

Federal doesn't do the 100 value packs. However the Federal 50 packs are usually under $10 making them cheaper than the WWB value packs.

And for another poster, wwb does do the 100round value packs in .380. They are rare to find though.

I love the Federal red box ammo. It keeps being one of the more accurate loads in various guns as far as bulk .22 goes. And functions well.

I avoid the Winchester Wildcat ammo. It is usually one of the least accurate loads, with a few exceptions. The Winchester XP is accurate, but the truncated cone shape does give function problems in some guns.

Through most guns the Federal is almost as accurate as the mini-mags for me. Not quite as accurate, but close, and LOTS cheaper.

Ditto...Federal Bulk Pack is nearly all I run in all of my 22's. I end up with a handful of FTF's, and a few FTE's out of the pack of 550 rounds, which is almost expected out of .22LR ammo. But to have 10 out of 550 rounds is certainly tolerable, and the accuracy has been great!

Fed .22 and WWB .40 for me, I really like the WWB 100 RD value pack of .40, I think it's relatively accurate in my glock and IMHO it's well manufactured, well priced ammo.

For all of Walmarts evils they make up for it by selling cheap ammo. The 1500 you still see people charging double Walmart's price. Proof that capitalism and big corporations arnt all that bad.

I can only assume that someone signed a contract for several years supply of ammo for walmart. Unlike the other ammo distributors that did not have a very good or long contract that is paying the inflated prices and passing it along to the gun dealers.

I bought 12 boxes of federal 40 cal today at Avon walmart.

i got the last 45acp value pack in kokomo today.

Today I saw Winchester 9mm 115gr 100rd value packs, which I promptly bought. Anyone buy these up whenever they see em, like most people do with the Federal .22lr red box? Is the Winchester 9mm "white box" value pack a staple that can be bought at most Walmarts?

These WWB in 9mm are the primary food for my Baby Glock 26. Anytime I see them at Walmart I try to purchase as many as possible.

Walmart acts as it's own distributor so there's an entire level of profit that is missing from their prices. Also, the Federal 9mm and 40 they sell has WalMart only SKU's on it - and the loadings aren't listed on Federal's website. The quantities they order allow them significant bargaining power - and they're perfectly happy making 5-10 cents on the dollar.

For those that are interested, the 9mm is $9.47/50 and the 40 is $13.97. The 9mm is very hard to find, and the 40 will probably take you a stop or two to find, depending on when they get stock. I won't chase after it at that price when I know i can get 9MM for $11-12 @PSS.

Very likely. Part of the reason a lot of people dont like dealing Walmart. Very hard to turn a profit when you cant adjust pricing according to market demand. But its a system that works well for the consumer, and Walmart.

I didnt know they had ammo that cheap at PSS. For 12.00 a box for 40 I will be there tomorrow to buy some. Most of the other retail stores around indy are still 20.00 plus for the 40 cal stuff. if they even have it.

9MM. I've never bought 40 from Bob because it's almost always available for much cheaper in Wal Mart. I should've been more specific.

Thanks for clarifying

Wow, Walmart had a skid this morning? They had very little when I went in there around 5. Picked up another Fed 22 value pack myself. The guy infront of me wanted 380 and they were out

I bought two Winchester 9mm value packs of 100 rounds each got them home and put them in some old 50 round box's I had around and found out that both had 101 rounds in them, extra value for your bucks!!!

 

[Fishersjohn48]

Are some of the Wally Worlds not limiting the quantity of the 100 round packs to 1 box/person/day? Also they have been 6 boxes/person/day on the Federal 50 round packs. If I am reading the above posts correctly some stores have dropped the limit.

 

[IndyMonkey]

Some limit you, some dont.
