Ammo prices started to drop for a while there. What happened? I just called up my local for .45 and .357. They want $30 a box again. This is crazy im buying a .22 haha

That's your issue, you are calling your local.

NJ ammo prices are a joke, I picked up .45ACP UMC 250 rounds value packs in a PA Walmart for $80.00

that's about $16.00 per 50, since then it's come down to about $14.00 per 50. Try Dicks .45 will

be about $20.00 but it's still better then $30.00, as far as .357 you just cannot find it anywhere

even online for less then $28.00 a box, for this reason alone I am going to start to reload.

Can anyone recommend any PA Walmart's which sell ammo? I live in South Jersey so am close to Philly so don't want to travel way out of my area. Would Delaware be better?

I always hit the ones in and around Lancaster, Quaker town and Perkaise, I have family in those areas.

How close are those to South Jersey?

they are a hike, depending on where you are in South Jersey.

Check the walmart store locator and check Bristol town ship that is right over the bridge.

trying to organize a trip to wally world in pa... would the Easton store be the closest one to my area (woodbridge)?

It's either you go up 78, or down the turnpike.

 

Easton(Nazereth) or Bristol PA. There is also Allentown and Willow Grove.

Thanks ed, lemme know if you wanna tag along, gotta save up a few hundred to make it worth my while so maybe within a month or so.

They most likely will not have a supply on hand to allow you to spend that much. Locally we find it's hit of miss.

 

Unfortunately you may ride that far to find they are out of stock.

Im like 1 1/2 away from PA. Getting there is not reall\y an option. I'm gonna have to call up davis's sportshop in new york. Thats only like 20 minutes away. Anyone know why ammo shot up again? Finally thought we were getting back into a groove

HA HA did you just for a moment think you'll find a deal at Davis's sport shop. That place is the biggest rip and I refuse to go back there after the customer service I received last time. It's not wonder these small shops are going out of business!!

I really do not think it has in most places, .45 and .357 never really came down because of availability.

Everything else can be had online for a decent price once again.

Walmart generally has a 6 box limit.

I'm usually in Willow Grove every Tuesday Night. I had problems two weeks ago trying to buy ammo there. A mis-informed employee refused to sell ammo to a NJ resident. I followed up with a manager via email and phone. Hopefully, won't have a problem again. But they usually don't have much in the way of handgun ammo. Usually have a box or two of .357 sig and mostly rifle hunting rounds.

 

Probably the best way to get large quantities of something is via the net.

I'd recommend going down to Bristol. There's 3 Walmarts within about 10 miles of each other, and there's also a shooting range right between them (Ready Aim Fire in Bristol).

Just a update. I decided to hit the Walmarts in PA which were recommended.

 

Bristol, Hit or miss. The first time I went on a Friday afternoon and the big guy there said he had nothing. Went back on Monday and they had a few boxes of 40.cal Remington UMC. Bought 3 because I couldn't believe I found some 40cal ammo. The guy even said he was surprised to see that many still there.They didn't have anything else in handgun ammo so I scored sort of.

 

Tullytown, Went there on Friday also and they had nothing in handgun ammo besides a lonely box of 25cal box and tons of rifle shotgun ammo. But I like that fact you can look in the case and see what is available. Went back there on Monday because the wife and I were car shopping and the dealership we found was also in the area. Found the same lonely box of 25cal LOL and a box of Winchester 147gr JHP for 9mm. You should have seen me standing there like I was security waiting for someone to open the case. Said to hell with it and bought that one. Not going to use it for home defense but will take it and use it up at the range.

 

Overall it's a hit or miss and if it is there grab it.

I also do the wallmart run regularly. I always call ahead and speak to "sporting goods". Note that as of recently, branches inside the Philadelphia city limits don't sell ammunition (or so I heard)....

 

Happy shooting

Went to the Easton store on Tue. Pretty empty shelves, didn't see any center fire pistol calibers on the shelves. Pretty much the same everytime I stopped at the Bethlehem store.
