I've been keeping an eye open for the cheapest place for ammunition lately because I was going to head to the range tonight to go shooting with my father. Well, I needed some 30-06 rounds and some 30-30 rounds. I went to Gander Mountain this past Tuesday and checked their prices, and then went to Academy to compare (Academy is usually lower). To say I was a little shell shocked (pun intended) by the recent increase in the price of ammunition would be an understatement. On the way home for some out of the office work today I stopped at the local Wal-mart for some various items and decided to see if they had any ammunition left over from when they used to sell rifles. Low and behold they did, and the boxes were DUSTY!!!

Anyways, the following is the prices.
Gander Academy Wal-Mart
WIN 30.06 150 Grn Ballisitic Tips ~39.95 ~38.95 ~30.95
WIN 30-30 150 Grn. Power Point ~18.95 ~17.95 ~10.97
Remington 30.06 180 Grn. Core-lokt ~22.95 ~22.95 ~13.47


Now, I dont care for Wal-mart too much, but my loyalty lies with the cheapest seller for the product I'm looking for, whether its a swarovski scope or a pack of chewing gum. Walmart usually doesnt have the products im looking for, but this time they did and they were CHEAP by comparison. The price stickers on the lower counter appeared to be heavily worn and faded, and the boxes of ammunition were dispersed randomly amongst eachother, so I am assuming that the ammunitions they had in stock were never replaced, and the prices were never updated since the whole "not selling firearms" thing occured. Whatever it is, i strongly urge others to check the old wal-marts in the area that arent selling firearms anymore and check to see if they still have their ammunitions in stock. You might just luck out and find some dirt cheap ammunitions.
