super wal-mart

went to the super wally-world the other day for grocery shopping......well, actually the wife went grocery shopping while i study the gun and fishing sections.

Anyways, i took notice that they appeared to be stocking more reloading stuff than usual. Mostly RCBS from the looks of it (now that is what i call "going green )

actually a nice spread of the basics. What was alarming though was the powder. Mostly Alliant and every jug was over $23/pound. I think i might check with them the next time there and see if they will special order kegs.

do wish a few other of the big chain stores would carry reloading stuff....but my area is still limited. Sure wish Academy Sports would dive in. They have become the No. 1 place in these parts for firearms and ammo amongst other things but they will not touch reloading.

Re: super wal-mart

The Wally-Worlds around here don't stock any reloading supplies. Guns and ammo, yes, but nothing for reloading. When I went out west a few years ago, I was really excited when I seen the Wal-Marts had primers and powder!

Re: super wal-mart

wow i wish my local walmarts would stock reloading stuff. I have an hour drive to purchase affordable powder, bullets and primers. My local sells the stuff but at a very inflated price....

Re: super wal-mart

No reloading stuff in our Wallmarts either. In fact out of the three, one doesn't even sell guns. The place has gone to the dogs (or maybe illegal aliens) since ole Sam died.

Re: super wal-mart

I heard that the super stores will all be selling rifles again. None of ours sells any reloading stuff though. We have a lot of Walmarts nearby and only one sells rifles right now.

Re: super wal-mart

hey.................with gas hitting $3.90/gal.................wally-world chinese stuff is starting to look purty good...............

the wal-mart guns around here are the bread and butter basics......marlins, mossbergs and rugers for the most part..........

the items i refuse to compromise on however are cloths and groceries.........i read the labels if questionable.

i still have a bad taste in my mouth from that last jar of dollar store peanut butter.........a product of argentina.........

and the last Dickie work shirt i bought was $23 for just a plain long sleeve work shirt...........my USA wrangler shirts............lets just say they have become wish items for Christmas and special occasions.... too dang expensive to buy the rest of the year......

i am going to be forced to buy a new shirt and tie here purty quick.....got a friends wedding to go to next month. I've spotted a really nice tie at the local store but its $30............but it sure is purty. a light shimmering blue paisley pattern.......i'm thinking a white shirt and dress wranglers ought to do........

hate to think i'm getting fashionable in my old age..........

Re: super wal-mart

Nothing is cheap anymore. Not price wise anyway. I buy the $14 Wranglers from Walmart and the usually rip out before the fade out.

Deputy, I refuse to dress nice, so it keeps me from getting invited to things like weddings.

Re: super wal-mart



when i dress half way decent, the wife takes out the camera..............

we still have one locally owned clothing store in this county with a huge inventory....the prices are higher than wally-world but the quality is higher as well...........and my wife likes to joke about the "old styles" they have (such as my paisley tie)...............heck, my entire city is out of style..............

i've been threatening to try to find a leisure suit..............rekon i should?

the dance music is already being put together..........and they are huge fans of ABBA

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xFrGuyw1V8s

they are even gonna have a disco ball set up in the community center where the reception dance will be.

Guess i had best rent saturday night fever and brush up.............

Re: super wal-mart

Man that type of music sucks. It was on the radio when I was growing up. The movie was alright though.
