That is sometimes the case, but on the website, there is also a date for the status. Some of the one's that say they are in stock are 12 hours to 2 days old. Anything more than a few hours is going to be currently inaccurate.
Anything more than a minute old is going to be inaccurate.
True, and depending on how there computer inventory is updated, it might be inaccurate by the time it is updated.

Two other good resources:

http://www.gunbot.net/ammo/

http://www.wikiarms.com/

They are both similar, except the 2nd one has a nicer GUI, and they both seem to be accurate reporters of ammo price and availability.

I checked for San Antonio stores about 11pm last night and showed limited stock at a Walmart nearish to me so I went a little after 9am this morning. All out. The clerk says they stock overnight and then start selling at 7am. He had twenty guys in line this morning at 7am. I double-checked the sight and the status at 8:0? said out of stock. It seems to work, I'm just not going to start lining up at 6am.
