Re: Academy ammo

My local Academy seems to be getting a fairly steady stream of 9mm, .40, .223. The trick is to be there at 9AM when they open. If you wait until 10, you MAY find a box or two, but not likely. The popular calibers (9mm & .223) are limited to three boxes each. However, those can be 50 round boxes, 100 round boxes, or 200 round boxes. When they get the 500 round boxes, the limit is 1. Couple of days ago they even had .380 range ammo. Some days are better than others, and one day all they had for 9mm was federal HST for $20+ something for a box of 20. Prices do not seem to have moved much. Federal and WWB 9mm range stuff is marked $11.99 for a 50 round box, but they are giving (at least at my store) a 10% discount for military, first responders, and medical personnel so with tax, the OTD price is $11.69 for name brand, brass cased 9mm. Only real increase I have seen in price has been with CCI Mini-Mags which used to be $7.99 per hundred have gone to $8.49 per hundred. However, the only .22 they have had for several days has been .22 shorts.

Personally, I reload (except for carry ammo) for all the calibers I shoot, but I like to keep a few boxes of factory stuff for students who may have had difficulty finding ammo.
