Its funny how you can get ammo at Scheels but not Runnings or it might just be bad timing for me at Runnings?

Runnings hasn’t had SHIT for ammo for many months. Not sure if they aren’t even trying to get ammo anymore or if Scheel’s is using their bullying technique they are becoming famous for.
No more limits on shells at Scheels. The pulled the limit off a while ago.
Sweet Lord though, you talk about PRICE GOUGING!!!
Do your homework. They match prices if you can prove it is cheaper somewhere else...and it usually is.
Walmart has been a good place for hunting loads and .410 shells, cheap tooI got some12 gauge 5 shot from Scheels last Thursday and finally got my hands on some 22 mag shell from Runnings on Tuesday, just waiting on some 22-250 and 270 rounds now. would like some 410 and 20 gauge rounds too though
Likely the difference between local vs. centralized ordering/control.
I'd be interested to hear more about this "bullying" technique.
I have heard (so it is 2nd hand info) that they tell (at least some of) their vendors that if they serve other local competition, Scheel’s will simply pull all of their merchandise off their shelves and no longer sell their product. This puts those vendors in a tricky spot because Scheel’s likely sells the most of just about any outdoors related product. In turn this makes it very hard for any real competition to get a foot hold. While this is 2nd hand info and I can’t prove it is anything more than a rumor, I have heard it from more than one pretty reliable source and doesn’t seem like a farfetched tactic. None of those sources sell ammo so it may not relate to ammo sales at all even if it is true. It also isn’t the worst tactic I’ve heard of, but doesn’t serve the consumer very well because competition is always a good thing when you are the shopper.
I suspect what you're hearing about is actually product lines that protect their dealers like Matthews Archery. Matthews essentially gives their dealers exclusivity by keeping them somewhat distant from each other. There are cities where Scheels has been on the outside looking in in that scenario too.
Mostly, you're just passing on shit-talking which is what I figured from the get-go.

The pheasant shells you have to pay $22 a box for were $16 a couple months ago when they got just a few cases in.
At a dollar a shell…I think I’m goin to only put one it at a time!
