Do you guys still have a 6 box limit? I went to a Walmart outside of Tomball,TX about a week ago and they still had the sign up. But I went to a different one today in Houston and I was able to buy as much as I like. The clerk told me they had just removed that restriction.

I haven't noticed any of the makeshift signs lately, now that the ammo is more available....
The WM I usually go to doesn't lock it's ammo up, so it wasn't hard to get around the 6 box limit rule when I "had to", anyway. But I didn't make it a habit of doing that- and never wiped them out- unless I was the lucky SOB to grab the last two or so boxes....

Just my 2¢
Walker still has a FOUR box limit, according to the sign.
I believe Denham Springs no longer enforces a limit. They were very well stocked in the Federal $9.47 9mm the last couple of times I was there, so I guess the huge buying rushes have indeed ceased.

Indeed, Walker still has the four box limit too. I just tolerate it I guess...depends on how much ammo I want. If I'm not going to buy a lot I'll just get the Federal at just under $10 a box. I can get 200 rounds of that in one trip. If I want to buy alot of ammo I just buy 4 boxes of Winchester so I can get 400 rounds in one trip. The difference is around $2.50 per 50 I think.
Id still rather tolerate the ammo limit then pay what Bass Pro wants for bullets.

Same at all Walmarts trying to get someone to take your money in the sporting goods section. The store closest to me has an older "gentleman" who sometimes has the key but no access code to sign on to the register.
The last time I went in, he opened the case and I reached in to grab several boxes trying to help him and he said, "Oh no, you can't put your hand in there, they have cameras all over watching you".
Waited for the "Ammo Case Police" to show up but they were a no show.

Too bad he busted the guy right before us for wanting more than 4 boxes
He was about to buy about 2000 rounds of .22LR and a couple boxes of .38 Special (Winchester Personal Protection). Hell from what Ive seen if there wasn't a limit that case would probably be a ghost town

The limit in Slidell was recently changed from 6 to 3 (!) boxes. They claim it's corporate making the decisions, which is obviously not so if the limit varies. Kcinnick, where'd you hear they lifted it for our region?
At the same time, I've never seen the case more full. About a week before it went from 6 to 3, there was more to choose from than I'd ever seen in the past year and a half of looking there. According to some of the people I've spoken to, they're making around a penny on the dollar on the ammo. What freakin' sense does it make to limit the customer to 3 boxes per day if that's the case? When it was mostly empty, I can understand keeping people happy-- you couldn't get a supply, everyone wanted some, and it would sell out before the next shipment came in. Now, however, it's overflowing (with plenty in the back) and you're limiting sales? WTF? I went in twice a day for two days straight, got 12 boxes of Federal 9mm. Between the days, the case was restocked to max capacity for that ammo type, and when I went in two days after the final purchase, it was full again.
I was going to write the corporate office just for laughs, but if it's a store by store policy, I might actually be heard by someone who matters.

So.
Went to Walker WalMart today...figured Id buy some ammo while I was there. I was standing at the ammo cabinet looking at all the stuff...and as I glanced up I said to my buddy 'Dude.....the 4 box limit sign is gone'.
Makes my shopping cheaper and easier! Still only bought 400 rounds like I planned on...but I was able to buy 8 boxes of the cheaper Federal instead of 4 boxes of the more expensive Winchester.

I wish covington would start stocking the 9mm federal
It's cheaper and easier to reload (lately wwb have had some tight primer pockets)
