Academy ammo

[Moonpie]

Went over to the Academy in Pearland a while ago.
They had some .22lr(800rd Federal bulk pack), .22mag, 40, 45, ,224V, 30-30, 30-06, 22-250, 6.5CM, 308 Hunting ammo,
and some various shotshells.
They had a small amount of 9mm but I watched it get snarfed up as I stood there looking. LOL

Academy off of Hwy 288 & Broadway?

This is what my Academy looked like at 10:00 am on delivery day. It won't last long but it is usually all gone before the line clears. Maybe things are getting a little better.

Not getting better until the prices return to normal or thereabouts. They can have all they want at $1 a round for some of this stuff. I haven't seen a shortage of ammo, just a shortage of affordable ammo. I have been able to buy ammo all along if I wanted it. Some you just have to pay through the nose if you really wanted it really bad.

My local Academy store has absolute nothing when it comes to ammo. A few firearms and magazines. Glad I bought when I could over the years.

Well, I took that pic above at 10:00 am yesterday. I went back at 10:00 am today and it was all gone.

I went by one local academy and they finally started staggering their restock times so neckbeards only get leftovers or whatever they felt like putting out. Good strategy but now that 9 is at $20/box they can keep it. At least if someone was truly in need and not just hoarding their odds have improved.

9mm at $20 a box after tax is a hell of a deal compare to what is available on Ammoseek.com and in my mind is close to regular price.

Federal Premium.com just raised their online price for 9mm by $4 a box. Went from $22.99 to $26.99. 2 box limit per order. They raised the price of other ammo similarly. I had been ordering from them, but now their prices are in line with everyone else on the web once you add the $12 shipping and tax. So much for ammo prices turning around.

I guess the good news is that the 124gr American Eagle has been available all day. It usually goes OOS in a couple hours.

I am honestly surprised that they have started doing this. Good for them

If one is buying ammo one is not doing it right. Or one just shoots too damn much!!

Once ammo is on shelves, people won't feel a need to panic buy and prices will drop. Demand has dropped, prices are next

The Academy I went to had Blazer and red box Federal for $17.99 per 50 box.

The 20 dollar a box ammo isn't terrible but just not worth it to me. I do have the luxury of being a reloader and even if I was paying $200/1k primers I could still make it for less than 30cpr. Since I still have several thousand left I'll just put in the sweat equity.

My cost with my favorite plated bullet is currently 14 CPR. Now that 223 is topping 70 CPR that will be next on the production list. I can load extremely accurate soft points for 20 cpr or ballistic tips for 30. I've got enough of all needed components to weather a decade long storm.

I'm sure I'll still pop in on occasion but I won't be in that morning line up anytime soon. For anyone who isn't in a similar position I would go for it. I do think the bubble has finally burst. In a couple more months we might see some over leveraged neckbeards finally dumping at reasonable prices.

Guilty.

My local Academy was cleaned out today. Which was of no surprise to me at all.

If 60-80 cents a round plus shipping is the new normal for cheap stuff I'll be shooting my .22 a lot more than my centerfire guns from here on. My four .22s rarely make the rotation but that's about to reverse. Once a year I'll shoot one box of 38, 380, 9mm & 45 acp. Spending the same just shooting less.

Finally got some 6.5 ammo so I can shoot the new rifle. The Academy’s by me (Humble and New Caney) have ammo in stock. Humble had a lot of handgun (.380, 9mm, 45acp, and even 45LC!)

Just back from Academy.
The neckbeards had already looted the place but they still had plenty of 9mm(several different brands) and 45acp. Just a little 10mm.
Just a smattering of rifle stuff. box here and there of 5.56, 300BLK, 30-06, 308.
No rimfire ammo of any type.
I bought two 200rd boxes of Monarch brass @ $64.99 per.
With tax it was $70.35ea. That equals right at $0.35cents per round. Not too bad for today prices.
