Re: ammo on sale
when i took my class , a guy showed up thinking he would just buy some at the range. of course they did'nt have any in stock, so he had to postpone the shooting portion until he could find ammo.

Re: ammo on sale
I just left Academy on Edgebrook, they had 2 250 Mega UMC 45's left. $97 each.
When my wife took her CHL last month I gave her a couple hundred rounds and told her to sell it to anyone who needed it, but everyone had enough.

Re: ammo on sale
Just got two boxes of Monarch .380 94 gr JHP at the Academy in Round Rock @$15.99/box of 50. They had about 6 more boxes, but I ain't no hawg.
Also got a couple WWB .38 Sp 130 gr FMJ @$18.99/box 50 (they had 4 more boxes).
Bought one 250 round mega-pack of Remington .45 ACP 230gr FMJ for $97.99. They had one left.
Edited to add:
Took the wife to get her hair cut over in NW Austin on 183 after lunch. decided to run by the Academy nearby to see if they had anything. Got there at 1:05 just as they were rolling in a cart full of ammo off the truck. No .223, no .38Sp.....but they had a carton of the Monarch .357 JHP 158 gr. - bought two boxes of that @$19.99/box of 50.
They also had two cardboard boxes of the Remington Mega Pack .45ACP. Passed on that since I had already bought one two hours before.

Folks I know, have sworn off CTD. I would bet that most knowledgeable folks won't be taken in by ammo prices like that. Problem is, there are a whole lot of noobs in the gun scene these days that have no idea how much of a gouging that is and will buy it up and throw it on the ole credit card.
I suppose if they can find suckers willing to pay those prices, who can blame them for living the American dream? As for me, they could be offering the last firearm ever to be made and I would not buy it from them.

Re: ammo on sale
I found UMC 250rd 45 ACP last week for less than $100 and I'm about to head out at 9AM to have a looksee for .380. CTD is shooting themselves in their feet.
