Just found the value packs tonight at Wal-Mart. Harbison Blvd has 8 boxes left for those in Columbia. :)

I'll run some through my Kimber in the morning and report. For some reason my Kimber is not fond of 230 hardball.

A .45 auto not fond of 230 balls is like a major league shortstop not fond of grounders hit his way.
 
I just grabbed the last 2 packs at Wally World in Conway, SC. Maybe I should take advantage of covering a 3 state territory and clean-out the Wally World ammo! I think the wife would have a problem w/ that.

G'day denfoote and et al.,

I picked up a couple of those bulk target packs in 45 ACP at the SV AZ Wally World last week. Got out to range late in the weekend to try them out in several of my launchers. Shoot great, less costly! Two thumbs up! Brass appears to be good for a few reload cycles. As clean as the 9x19mm target loads from Winchester. Consistency is pretty good too!

In my case, I had to be assertive with the Wally World associate. When I inquired about the target packs, I got the deer in the head lights look. I asked him to open the case where the 9x19 bulk packs were and then there right next to the 40 SW was a large hole with the shelf tag. The ole guy was going to put a good moan and groan to bend all the way down, stick his arm way back there to lift those heavy boxes...... It did take a bit of persuasion to get the transaction going and completed.

It would have been simplier if I could just go back there and get them myself but that would probably be considered bad form by Wally World mgmt. Hey, at least now I'm not so concerned about finding a way to replace all that brass I'm losing at these local pistol matches!

Best of luck to you and others getting this ammo! Cheers!
 
My local SoKal Walmart finally got this ammo in stock this morning. I was lucky enough to be there just as they were unpacking the boxes and grabbed all the 45acp (2 cases) that they had. The Sporting Goods Manager told me that it's a "warehouse item" which means that it's not regularly stocked but can be ordered and will arrive in 2-3 days. As I was leaving I asked him to please order more. :)
 
Well, the Wal Mart's in my area (Nashville TN and surrounding) seem to have them but not in quantity. I haven't found more than 2 boxes at any one store. When I asked the kid behind the counter he said he couldn't order more because he isn't a manager and didn't know if they were getting more. So I asked him to ask his manager to order more. Don't forget people, Wal Mart is there to make money and lots of it. If we buy them out and ask for more, they'll get more.
 
Hit one of my local WMs yesterday but they had only 2 boxes. I got them.
Came home and inspected them.

Like the 9mm BP the primers are different shades. The 9mm is otherwise cosmetically beauty but the 45 has some variation. Some slugs have rings around them. Some are perfect.

Makes no diff to me at the price. It's a pretty good deal if you reload.
Now I can get 9mm and 45 bulk packs at the same shop. Good news. Not too sure it makes sense paying the shipping or the admission to a gunshow anymore if buying these cals is the reason. WM is less of a drive and I only have to pay sales tax and OTD.
Thanks to the original THR members that posted the alert.

If you're in the Greenville area, you can get 100rnd packs at WM Woodruff Rd and Hwy 29 Taylors. A call to WM Whitehorse Rd showed nothing in stock but 9mm, but the guy I spoke to went through the trouble to call the other stores and inquire for me (very thoughtful/professional/impressive). I bought two of the three boxes at Woodruff Rd and will be back as soon as their next shipment comes in.

$10/50rnd is as good as I got at the last gunshow where I bought 1000rnd for $212 from Georgia Arms. And while some on-line suppliers sell a case for $180-200, shipping costs boost the final figure to around the same as you could get locally at Wal-Mart.

The funniest thing is that joker down in Greenwood offering to sell me a case of Blazer 230g FMJ for $190! That guy sucks...big.
 
Anyone know how the Wolf brand ammo compares to the Winchester whitebox? Both are 230 grain FMJ. Sportsman's Guide has Wolf .45 ACP for $45.96 for 250. With shipping and handling it comes out to $18.38 per 100. That saves $3.24 per 100 compared to WallyWorld and it comes to my door. I just have to wait a little longer to get it.
 
The main comments I read here relate to the fact Wolf has a steel case and may cause a bit of accelerated wear on the extractor and ejector. Maybe the chamber too.
I don't know if the 45 acp is laquered but some of their rifle ammo is and some THRers have reported problems with the coating building up in the chamber under certain conditions in some rifles. AK owners do not report this problem.

All I can say for sure is the powder the Russians load into their Woldf ammo is stinky IMO having been around people at the range that were shooting it.
There sure seems to be an aweful lot of Wolf empties on the ground at the ranges I go to so some people must like it pretty well.

Good luck

I.R. Wolf Ammo: You'll never have to worry about using the words "accurate" or "clean-burning" to describe it. It's almost like shooting black powder through my 1911 when I last tried the .45ACP. While I have a Ruger 9mm which will shoot anything, I'm still not going to try Wolf in it.

S&B, Winchester, or UMC is a much better choice...
 
Finally in the farthest Wal Mart from me, but still technically in town. And less tax out there... so I guess it is out of the city... And they had some clearance .38 Spec Hydra Shoks. I wonder why they are on clearance? And thanks to low price and less tax, best non online and non gun show option there is.

That's all I got at Wal Mart though, I did the rest of my shopping at Best Buy, Le Femme Nikita and Terminator Special Edition, woo hoo.
