Sounds like a blatant violation of the three box rule to me. How did you do that?I picked up another 500 rounds of CCI Mini-Mags yesterday at a WalMart. Right from the stocking cart. Never made it to the shelves.
a certain shop that shall go nameless stores a supply in back and takes out only a couple of boxes at a time to simulate a shortage. I will say they are in or near attleboro. I live on cape and witnessed this when I was out and found these bridges and wondered where they led to.

My situation is the opposite. Being retired and relatively poor, my time is only worth about $3.00/hr on average. That would suggest that I can visit a whole lot of Walmarts. Every last cent I can save is important to me.my time value of money is not worth "hunting" for .22 at 6,7,8 cents a round. Buy bulk at 10 cents, and call it a day. I could care less about a few cents a round when I blow stupid cash on other things like $4 coffee every day.

The problem is that gasoline is over $3.50/gallon and Walmart stores are not exactly next to one another. And unless you hit them just right, most Walmart stores won't have any desirable ammo to sell you anyway. The Walmart ammo search engines can help, but lately they haven't been all that accurate. That said, I eventually manage to find the ammo I need... most of it anyway. And I never resell any of it. Beyond my reserve stash, I use it all.
And for coffee, I get the $1.00 special (hot or iced) at McDonald's.

Oh, I expect to do that anyway, but the ammo threads never helped me even once before they were moved behind the pay wall. It always tended to be too little info too late... or just much too far away.If you become green there is a thread in the members section that you will like.
This is the way I felt about a lot of things that weren't very improtant -- like the $2.50 cup of coffee, until the money stopped coming in.my time value of money is not worth "hunting" for .22 at 6,7,8 cents a round. Buy bulk at 10 cents, and call it a day. I could care less about a few cents a round when I blow stupid cash on other things like $4 coffee every day.

I just bought 650 rounds of federal .22 and I don't even own a .22 lol .
That explains the shortage.
A lot of shops self ration, this isn't news. They do it so people don't clean out their whole inventory in one shot. If they left case lots out someone would buy it all.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's what they all say.I was going to take a girl shooting and borrow a rifle... And been meaning to buy a 10/22 or kit for my 1911.
i understand they self ration, but they also limit on amount of boxes you can buy
FIFYSame difference. They do either so they can distribute the ammo among [STRIKE=.]more customers[/STRIKE] their friends.

I hit 2 local places today and 2 big boxes. All four places had 9mm, NONE of the four had any 22lr, nevermind minimags.
Good stuff guys I have been going to Wally World and a few local shops either out or all they they have left is top dollar boxes. In not saying I'm short on ammo just can't afford to go to the range that often and I also have a .38 that's not a plus or special there hard to find and expensive. With that said I hope to go out tonight and find some .40 9mm .22 and .38 flint only has one box of .38 left. If anyone knows another place that has it near Fall River let me know. Thanks. Ed
