I will be in the PA tomorrow. I just want to know if it's worth stopping by a Walmart to buy cheap 9s.

I believe it's $10.27. I'd pick some up.

 

.45 is like $16 which is pretty damn good for new.

The federal 9 mm they use to sell for $10.50 are now 11.98. If your gun will eat sellier and bellot, cabelas has them for 9.99. I went to a walmart in nanuet ny just 2 weeks. I like the federal.

Thanks for the info guys! No wonder I haven't seen posts recently about ammo runs to Walmarts in PA, prices are up bigtime!Too bad we're not heading in the direction of Cabela's. I'll just place an order online.

 

 

The WWB is either $23 or $24. Federal red is $11 (I think?) It's at the point where I have no problem getting ammo at walmart if I need it but I buy cases of handgun ammo online. I find Fiocchi very economical and extremely reliable in subguns.

Sgammo has the wwb NATO for $11ish. That's all I'll buy

There's no such thing as WWB Nato.

 

And, if it were "NATO" ammo, you gotta be careful with some of that stuff in 9mm. The spec allows some really hot crap for subguns that have been designed to handle it.

I just picked up 6 boxes of WWB at the Easton Pa location. 100 pk for $25. That's about $5 cheaper than Ramsey Outdoor in NJ.

Just about any place is cheaper than Ramsey's

Well yes...and no. Old WWII surplus ammo (black tip) was really hot and should be reserved for subguns. There were others as well.

 

Pressure specs for NATO ammo vary. Figures I've found are:

 

SAAMI spec (to compare).....35,000 psi max.....38,500 +P max

US M882 spec................31,175 psi avg.....36,250 max

Other NATO..................37,000 psi to 42,000 psi max

 

In other words if its US manufacture M882 NATO spec it should be safe.

 

I'm guessing that most NATO countries now load toward the lower end of that max pressure and having a high presure round only for sub guns and a lower pressure one for pistols would be a logistical nightmare that can be easily avoided.

 

I would be careful with foreign made NATO spec.

You got that right! And they obviously dont want to be bothered with transfers at $100 !!!

I stopped by the Walmart at Mt. Poconos yesterday and saw very little ammo in stock. No special deals either... WWB 9mm in 100rd box was around $24+. I bought a couple since I was there already. I do like the fact that you can buy without the Jersey hassle.

 

This afternoon, I stopped by Dick's in EB and saw Rem 9mm UMC at 11.98/box of 50 and Rem 223 at 6.98/box of 20. They already have the plastic clear containers to carry the ammo so you don't need a rep to accompany you all the way to the cashier.

I often check there for 45 when I'm up. I have never seen it there or stroudsburg.

I've only had luck deep in western PA which I go once a year.

This is what I was talking about. Reports I've read put it at a Slightly hot round with sealed primer in a NATO stamped case. Sorry if you thought I was misleading. I said wwb because there is also a wichester ranger NATO

Great. So it's up at least another dollar. Oh well, I don't buy it much anymore. But it's been a good option and I hate to see it go up. There was a time it was the cheapest decent blasting ammo I could get.

OK, I see.

I like my own brand. Reloaded for about $5 a box for 9mm and $8 for 45 acp!
