.45 ACP 100 Round Bulk Packs @ Wally World

[iamkris]

You guys are lucky. Here in the northern suburbs of the Peoples Rupublik of Chicago, soccer moms have completely taken over and Wal-Mart's/Sportmarts don't handle stuff like this anymore. ALL ammo, firearms, etc are gone. When I asked, they said it was done for business reasons...few people bought and some complained.

Another step toward they wussification of America.

 

[10-Ring]

Cool, Winchester value packs in 45 acp
Time for an ammo run!

 

[blue86buick]

davidtdm: only thing i could've suggested would have been to have one of each shell sitting out, so people can see that the 9 and .40 are brass, the .45 is copper, and that the .40 has the flat tip.

Doesn't it say "Made in USA"? I wouldn't call that "USA brand", i'd say WWB. Unless you refer to Wolf as "russian brand". Oh well, just my opinion.

"9 and .40 are brass, the .45 is copper..."


Uh, no, the .45 is also brass.

Copper hasn't been used for anything other than rimfire cases for 100 years or more.

I used to get the run around at my local Walmart when looking for the value packs.

I finally met the lady that does ALL of the ordering for sporting goods. She said that if I know I will need a certain quantity of any ammo to just give her a call and she would make sure they had enough on hand for me. She said they get the ammo 2-3 days after they place the order.

She also said that she was more than happy to order it in anytime I needed some. I asked if I could get any further price break if I ordered case amounts...no go. She did give me a card with her name and number on it.

I believe that they (Walmart) don't want to sit on ammo that won't move so some stores don't order it. I would (and did) find out WHO does the ordering at your local store, and tell them that you want to buy (insert amount) rounds per week/month. They do have to order by case amount so they may not want to sit on 900 rounds because one person wanted one box.

I always buy at least 3-4 boxes each trip, but now that they have .45 value boxes I'm going to have to bring more money to Walmart. It's going to end up costing me $100.00 each trip to the store, but I'll end up with 6-700 rounds of ammo so I'm happy.

Good shooting,
Jeff C.

Sorry, I meant the FMJ on the bullet. At least it looks like brass....it's the same color as the casing, wheras the .45 is definitly copper colored. Maybe the 9mm and .40 are brass plated copper.

 

[Mike Irwin]

Well, they're all jacketed with guilding metal, but there can be a lot of color variations with guilding metal.

The jackets definitely aren't copper.

blue86buick,

Winchester has called this stuff "USA" brand since it came out with it in the '80s. They still call it that:

This includes the "Value Packs":

Since that's what we've all been calling it for years, and since that's what Olin calls it, hey, good enough for me!

 

[BerettaNut92]

Um wait...lemme look for it...I left it in my Camelbak some where...[rummaging]...oh..here it is:

REEEEHAWWWW!!!!

 

[WhoKnowsWho]

I'm a dumbass, I don't know why I am worried about the Wally World stuff when one of the shops I frequent sells the normal Winchester Whitebox .45 for 9.99 a box and 179.99 a case...

 

[rick newland]

I have a real stupid question to ask. I have been stationed overseas for the past 20 years and never heard of Wally World. (use to love germany) I have nine 1911's to be kept fed. Is Wally World a store of it's own or a nickname for Walmart? thanks.

 

[cslinger]

There are no stupid questions.

Only stupid people. Just kidding, no offense, just joking.

We were just talking about Walmart. You have 9 1911s!? Wow you are my hero. Lots of .45 to feed.

Hmmm, I just noticed something. It seems that just about everyone with a location listed who has found the .40 and .45 value packs are in Ohio or Tennessee (and those in OH seem to be in or around Cincinnati). They are close enough that maybe they are distributed out of the same location. Anyone here whose local Walmart has the stuff yet live anywhere other than TN, KY or southern OH? If not I guess I'll wait a few months before I waste too much time looking for the stuff.

 

[seeker_two]

Just what I need...an excuse to buy a .45....

Skunk: There's no excuse for NOT owning at least one .45. In many parts of Texas, it's mandatory...

Looks like I've got an alternative to my S&B and UMC ball ammo needs now...

 

[Quack]

sounds great if i run out of my S&B, but i usually buy cases at gunshows which are $9.00/50.

 

[12 Volt Man]

I won't be able to check and see if the Utah stores have it till Friday.

I have a reliable source that tells me there are currently 5 .40 value boxes in transit to a certain TX Wal-Mart. Didn't look into the .45s but it wouldn't surprise me if those were on the way too.

[Bowlcut]

Ok i think i know what im doing....buying a value pack or two to shoot though others guns....like cslingers . now which caliber to choose

 

[blue86buick]

oh whoops, guess it doesn't show my location (yet). I'm in Cedar Rapids, IA, and they had the 100pks of .40 and .45.

Erich: Ok, USA it is!

 

[stretcharmstrong]

Well, I made it to the Sport's Authority today in Bowie, MD. They do have the 100 pack 9mm's in stock but no .40 S&W or .45 ACP. Also, their price for the 9mm seemed high...$11.49? Wally world I believe is about a $1 cheaper.

 

[blue86buick]

wally 9mm price

typically $10.96. Some of my local stores now sell it too, at that price even.

Not that it is all that far from where you mention, but the .45 100 packs are available in Michigan for $19.97.

 

[Al Thompson]

Just checked, none (yet) in Columbia South Carolina.

 

[Kharn]

I visited the Lexington Park, MD store and snagged 3 boxes at $19.97 each (the sales lady said there was a lot in the back of the display case, but I couldnt see exactly how many due to the angles), but the register brought up a message along the lines of 'Over Flr Limit, approve?' when the clerk scanned all three. She didnt know what that meant and thought it was my credit card (which took like 2 minutes to approve, we were having internet problems at my work all day) being over the limit, but I'm no where close. I guess the max is one or two value-packs per customer.
They also had .40, but I didnt see any 9mm value packs.

This is also one of the Super Walmarts, with an eye doctor, pharmacy, etc; I think their manager's pretty gun friendly (or at least realizes being 5 miles from a Naval base means he could sell lots of guns & ammo) because the gun and ammo displays are always 100% stocked unlike the Walmart near my house where 50% of the time you gotta wait for stuff to be brought out from the back.
