The ones that line up at the BA Walmart have an IPhone app that tells them what's coming in. You can always ask as well. When I was buying some ammo yesterday, the guy ahead of me was asking when they were getting any 22LR in and he was told when the next shipment had Winchester 555 bulk packs coming and was also told to get there early because they start lining up at 6am..

Since I bought a couple of the M-22 bulk packs last week for 49.99, I asked Greg what they were selling for and he said they are now 51.97. So I guess Cabelas is now cheaper than Walmart. Go figure.
Tried the app and walmart website and looked at 3 or 4 different types of ammo behind the glass that showed out of stock on the app. That app stuff is just what the guys that have the inside tip on the 22lr. say.

If you want the "inside tip" call and ask what's coming in. The BA store will tell you. Or just give up and order it online for the same price shipped as you would pay in the store after tax.

The M-22 bulk packs come from Cabelas online. The reference to Walmart was the fact they have raised their price to 51.97 making it cheaper at Cabelas.

The ammo manufacturers are running 3 shifts 7 days a week. I have 22 wmr on back order from 55 weeks ago. The conspiracy theorists need to grow up. Nobody, in my opinion, deserves anything. Using "it's for the children" makes us no better than the antis. As long as people are willing to pay the price, resellers will continue to do their thing. Hate the game, not the playa.

Lots of preaching in this thread. "You should do this." "You should've done that." And lots of boasting too. I guess that's normal, but damn, aren't we all on the same side of things?
