Dick's Wheaton

[bdadams84]

I know I saw a thread for this store a while back can't find it now.

Went by today they had a few boxes .40 American Eagle and .223 Federal

I had some luck picking up 9mm there not that long ago. The ammo they have does go, but if you call regularly and go right after they've had a shipment you can get most of what they need. I suspect most people aren't even aware that there's a Dick's there that sells guns and ammo.

 

[bdadams84]

Enough people are aware that the ammo doesn't last long. I haven't seen 9mm there in about 3 weeks, but I tend to show up after 4pm and only M-F. I noticed .38spl tends to stick around for three days or so when they get it in. I've seen .556 stick around a couple days as well.

Nothing to report today though.

 

[bdadams84]

As of 7pm .45acp and lots of .223.

 

[bdadams84]

As of 1515 still tons of. 223, .22 hornet, .380 auto, and lots of. 38spl in 50rd boxes and 250rd value packs

 

[bdadams84]

Still had .380 and .223 today. Nothing new to speak of.

That .223 stuck around for quite a while. As soon as a recent purchase gets out of purgatory I may have to stop by there and pick some up. Maybe the drought is starting to break. It seems 223/556 stays around online a bit longer than last month as well...

 

[bdadams84]

It is seeming that way. This is also the first time I've seen .380, .40, or .45 at this store since I started looking for ammo there two months ago. I am hoping this is a sign of good things to come.

This store seems to get massive shipments in compared to other stores... I once saw a thread saying they'd gotten in pallets of 223, I managed to get 3 boxes the day after it had been posted here. Most stores you're lucky if the ammo lasts a few hours.

Our local Dicks Laughs when I ask if they have gotten any ammo in !

 

[Justin B.C.]

They get big shipments in, then it lasts for a few days, then dry for a month or two. They also get odd grouping of ammo (once a pallet of 9mm and just two bricks of .22lr)

 

[Whitty Whit]

How much normally is the .45 ACP here?

 

[huesmann]

Yeah, their stock seems odd. I bought a 2200-round plastic case of .22LR there a couple of months ago. $110 or so.

Thanks for the updates. I have no desire to drive down Randolf in rush hour if there isn't ammo on the shelves.

Alright, been off line for a bit. Just went on my honeymoon. I'll probably wonder into the store sometime tomorrow. I need to get a fishing license. I don't know how frequently I'll be updating this thread at this point. I just scored some 9mm at the Walmart in Luray,VA so I'm currently sitting at a good level with my ammo for all my firearms.

My last stop to the store was the 16th. There wasn't anything new on the shelves except for some .38spl Critical Defense which was bought up by another shopper and myself. What was nice was the conversation I had with the other shopper as we waited to be assisted.

We chit chatted a few minutes about the ammo shortage, SB281, and some other banter. I was getting ready for my honeymoon and he was getting ready for his 39th Anniversary. We talked about some of the excitement of "finding ammo" and having to be careful not to buy it just because it's there if we don't really need it.

I try to help. It's not hard for me to check. It takes less than 10 minutes out of my day.

I learned that calling the store is not the best option. I tried that over a few days, to find out that I got some bad intel. I had asked if they had 9mm in stock and was told no. Obviously that wasn't hard to believe. But then I find out from another member of these forums had found some there two hours after I called I had to step up.

Since it's on my way home, I make the quick stop instead of making an excuse to save a few minutes. Plus I've met a couple of interesting folk there at the counter.

 

[bdadams84]

How much normally is the .45 ACP here?

Not sure, but I can find out. I'm still officially on vacation until next Tuesday but I will need to stop in over the next day or two.

 

[bdadams84]

a couple boxes .380 critical defense, some 22hornet, and .223 Winchester target ammo as of 1115

 

[bdadams84]

about 4 dozen boxes of .223 as of 1130

Expensive Remington Silvertip

As of 4:30 pm today Dick's had 10 or 12 boxes of Remington Slvertip (20 cartridges for $25.00) - ouch... more than a dollar a cartridge...
