Saw 3000 rounds of .223 at walmart today.

[vontar]

My jaw dropped when I saw three 1000 round boxes of .223 at the Oak Ridge Walmart today.

Guy in front of me brought 2 of them at 450 per box.

 

I didn't buy but thought about it.

 

 

not a .22 in the house.

Those prices make me glad that I shoot 7.62x39. Sooooo much cheaper. 

[vontar]

well it was cheaper then gander mnt at 500 per 1000.

 

Interesting enough, the guy that brought 2 boxes said his preacher was interested in some.  I should have ask what church.

Yeah I saw at Gander Mountain that they have .223 American Eagle for .50/per. At least this was M855 5.56. Gander's prices are laughable. 

[vontar]

The walmart boxes was American Eagle, so .45 per round

Maybe I'll get an AK since it's a bigger boolet and cheaper to boot.

I saw 6k at my local WM today $447

Do it. They are fine rifles and will serve you well as a club if need be.

Walmart in Smyrna has had these cases for a while now. They're not moving. I'm pretty sure they're 62gn, but didn't check if they were XM855 or not.

True and true, my friend.

... At least this was M855 5.56. ...

 

They call it that because it's 62 gr, but it's American Eagle also, and doubt it's loaded to NATO heat.

Hey Vontar, my pastor is also one of my shootin' buddies, along with a few other men at church. We're going skeet shooting this weekend, and regularly help each other out with ammo, etc. :-) In late October we're holding a church-wide skeet shooting event, with the full support of the gun club at which it will be held. I'm stoked because we'll also have a number of first-time shooters joining us.

It's pretty awesome!

BTW, trust me there's some Gun toting preachers. I know of one holding services Wed/Fri in Greenbrier area that is on Lf.net.. 

[musicman]

It's nice to know some of them take very seriously the idea of pretecting their flock. :-) My pastor would also have help, if he needed it. ;-)

chatt sportsmans warehouse had many, many boxes of 500 the last time we went in (monday, maybe?), so many they filled the regular 223 shelf, a special display, and were scattered across the gun counter.   I did not look at the price, had a lot on my mind that day.   I dunno if they still have it.  Pretty sure it was brass cased.

It's good to hear that the shelves are being stocked again. I would think if the stock builds up and sits on the shelf for a while the price might come down. Wish we could say the same for .22LR but it may come around eventually also.

Thinking about it, Walmart should have openned at least one of those and put boxes of 20/30 out on the shelves to give the impression they had allot.
