Why were they selling 9mm ammo for $21? That seems a little steep for a FMJ round. :headscratch

I assume they were 100 round boxes.

Demand! A lot of people are choosing .40S&W and that is leaving their shelves faster than .45ACP.

Be careful... there have been several other threads recently about WWB 100 round boxes of low quality causing problems... just search the forum. For cheap, range ammo I like Academy's Monarch brand; never had any issues, shoots well, and is remarkably clean for the price.

I have actually had an issue with WalMart ammo being inaccurate. Every time i took it to the range i was shooting low. At first i though i was somehow jerking the gun. So i bought some range ammo and shot a magazine of the Walmart ammo vs. the Range ammo. walmart ammo was shooting about 4 inches low at 15yards. :headscratch
I really didn't think there would be that much of a difference.

All these stories about WWB are shocking me. I never have issues with it.

Well, maybe accuracy issues because there are times I swear I should be zero points down, but my score doesn't reflect it when counted! :lol:

why would the .40 cal cost more than the .45s???
Great price for 45cal.

I've found WWB .45 ACP for $15.99. That's the best price I've found.

That sounds about right for 50rnds.
I buy 100rnds WWB at WalMart for $32+tax so 100 rounds for $28 is very good.

That may just be a reflection of it being a different powder load. A hotter load will often shoot consistently lower
