I used to go to Walmart as my budget was limited (very) and I could get firearms related items cheaper. Sunday I went to several gun shops and walmart looking for powder and bullets for my muzzleloaders. The local shops averaged 8% cheaper than Walmart. First time I have seen that.Also, the local walmarts don't sell guns anymore...
My guess would be that since Wal-mart has such a high turnover in their products, when the prices are going up, they are going to be higher. If the prices were going down, they would be much quicker to lower prices too.
