these are still $100/250 in MD so maybe the price will go down soon up here!
Found these today at a Walmart outside Tampa, for $32 per 100-count box. These were outside the locked glass ammo case, on the shelf to the right (still must ring them up at the sporting goods desk).
Was that after tax? They were $29 before tax a couple weeks ago.
Never mind saw your other reply
They've had other economy packs for $25/100 I picked up outside of Tampa last week.
Good price! Love that federal lists both fps and dram eq on the box. Makes the math so much easier!
Here in Va, we can not find shells. Wallet was bone dry.
Hard to find shells in EU-Sweden as well, every store says US military bought em all.
That sounds odd. The U.S. military uses very little shotgun ammo. It is possible that all of the primers are being used to produce NATO calibers.
As I recall, 2021 was the year the military re-upped their ammo stock which made every caliber/gauge more expensive on top of COVID buying, etc. prices are still where they’re at due to manufacturers/retailers knowing they can get away with these prices now and the manufacturing probably somewhat struggling to keep up with demand.
I had one bad primer out of the last 100 I bought.
These used to be $22 until six months ago. Only thing that'd get me inside a Walmart! Reliable shells!
I seem to recall them being $18-$19 for the 4-pack in mid 2020. And yes. At my Walmart they were $21.99 up until about 6 months ago.
All small-shot 12-gauge has been completely out of stock every time I checked my local Wal-Mart for the last month or so (as has Bass Pro), but just gotta keep checking.
BTW, these are priced at $29.xx on the shelf, $32 after adding sales tax.
