Looks like Academy is changing policy. 1 box/caliber/customer/day & now the ammo is at the customer service desk. I think that the 'shortage' is self-inflicted. Shelves were full just prior to Sandy Hook. Then the POTUS & VP start talking about gun bans & other nonsense so we now have a run on AR's, semi-auto pistols, & a wide variety of ammo. I've heard/read about guys setting up at Academy on Mon/Wed/Fri & scooping up all of the ammo that they can directly off of the pallets. I've also heard about folks stalking the ammo shelf at Wal-Mart & doing the same thing. My buddy went to the Pasadena gunshow a couple of weeks ago & he said that all of the usual vendors were there. The only difference is that now the $800 AR is now $2500. He also said that they had plenty of ammo in all calibers & most of it was priced at about the same level as mid-last year.

My approach has been & probably will continue to be to stop by Academy & LGSs when it's convenient, buy a box or two when I can find it, hold off on shooting pistols for a while, spend more time with the shotguns on the 5-stand & sporting clays fields. Then I'll go back to business as usual when we all calm down.
