222 rounds of federal automatch?

Usually the shipping covers a bunch of boxes of ammo. It has when I buy
on line, and I don't have to deal with walmart.


'Dealing with WalMart'?

I go to the ammo counter, say hello to Juan, and he tells me if
they've gotten any .22 in - or 9mm or .45 in aluminum cases. The other
day they had both. The aluminum cased .45 was $14.75 a box of 50. Not
bad.

Once I've picked out what I want, I pay Juan, wish him a good day, and
I'm on my way.

'Dealing with WalMart' is actually a nice experience. Sometimes Dee, a
very nice Afro-American lady, is working the counter. She also knows
what I'm interested in, always has a nice smile, and is very pleasant
to work with.



So, 222 rounds of Federal Automatch for $11 at WalMart?

Is there something special about federal automatch, other than a fancy name that is basically meaningless? The shipping of the second box would add about another $4+.

No, it was Remington 22 Golden Bullet, a great round for target or
rabbit shooting. It actually has a greater muzzle velocity and energy
than that Federal stuff. I noticed in the comments that one guy had
bought two boxes for $49 with shipping. That comes to about
7.5cents/round, which is still half again as pricey as the WalMart
stuff - and you don't get to deal with friendly people!

Really a good deal.

For my dads Winchester which takes ,22 short only- the guy got me a couple hundred rounds for approximately.09 a shot which is cheap considering they're so rare. I thought that was a bargain especially when you couldn't find ANY .22 ammo!

Greg, it's a model 74. Excellent condition too!

Walmart is always hit or miss around here. Sometimes they seem to have
some people willing to help you find things, other times it is just a
200,000 square foot scavenger hunt. The parking lot at the one near me
is a nightmare to get out of. The lot itself is poorly laid out and it
dumps into an intersection that was horrible before they built the
Home Depot and Walmart on 2 of the corners.
They are building another wally 2 miles from the house so I may give
them another chance.


When I go I'm usually on the Guzzi, so finding a parking space is no
problem.

As far as ammo goes, it's also hit or miss. Today they had a pile of
9mm aluminum cased for $9.97/50rds. Good price, but I don't need any.

Shorts were all I could afford as a kid. Shot a bunch of squirrel and
rabbit with them though.

That's been my experience also. Their employees here all seem
cheerful, knowledgable and well adjusted. They also tend to stay in
their jobs a while so things can't be all bad.

I've found it to be very reliable, even in guns that tend to be
finicky about ammo. It's also reasonably accurate considering the
price.

Juan and Dee have been there at the sports counter for at least the
past couple years. They've always got a smile on their faces when I've
come by.

Maybe it's just me?
