I stopped at the Foothills WalMart in Yuma today, to see what was happening with their ammuniton supply.

As you can see, there wasn't much. some 20,16, and 12 gauge bird shot, mostly 7 1/2. I was surprised to see that they had a few boxes of 12 gauge 00 buckshot, at $4.67 for five cartridges.

They also had a couple of boxes each of 7mm Remington Magnum, Winchester 270, and 300 Winchester Magnum. The only rimfire that I saw was some .17 magnum.

Raymundo, at the counter, was helpful. He said that they do get ammunition in, but it is unpredictable, and when it comes in, it goes out very quickly. He admitted to holding back a couple of boxes for customers that buy guns. He did not want a customer to leave the store with a gun, and not be able to get some ammunition for it.

Thats the same situation in many walmarts even in Texas.

Yes, very typical to what we have here in the Houston area.

Same in SE MN. I did see a shelf full of Winchester .223 at Mills Fleet Farm.

Do you know if they make you wait until the truck is unloaded before they bring the ammo boxes out for sale?

Or do they just bring out the ammo boxes as they unload the truck?

Our Walmart here said it is store policy that the truck has to be unloaded before they bring out any ammo.
