Ammo Holy ammo drought, batman!

New to firearms - shocked at ammo shortage

As a long time homesteader wannabe I don't consider my self new to prepping but I am new to firearms. I recently managed to break the ice as my boys have showed an interest in hunting and my better half final gave in to the purchase of our first rifles. I went to Ca____a's because I knew that they would at least have a selection. While I didn't get any bargains there (I didn't expect to) they did have quite a bit of ammo. Elsewhere in my area there is no 9MM to be had and little .45 available. I have been checking at the W_____t and they have had zero 9 & .45 for over two weeks. They have had only four boxes of .40.

 

I would not recommend buying ammo at Wally World. Here's why:

I've shot a lot of Remington .22lr 36gr Golden Bullet in recent years, which is pretty generic stuff and can be bought just about anywhere. If you buy it at WM, you can see gold colored specks on your hands after loading a few dozen rds. If you buy it at BassPro, Cabela's, or a local gun shop, you won't have that problem, even after a few hundred rounds.

It's been said that if you are a manufacturer/supplier and you want to sell your product to WM, you have to sell it to them for less than you sell to their competitors. Is this true? That, I can't say. Would product quality suffer if this were true? I'll let you decide on that one. All I can say is, I notice a difference in ammo purchased at WM, compared to the same ammo bought anywhere else...
