Academy ammo

[Moonpie]

The local Academy had a boatload of ammo this morning.
22lr(several brands and box sizes), 380, 9mm, 40, 45, some rifle stuff but I didn’t take note as most of it was 223/5.56

Stopped in yesterday around noon to look at their knife offerings, not expecting to see any ammo at all. I was surprised to see Hornady self defense rounds in .40. Picked me up a box of 20 for $26.99. They also had .308, 7.62x39, .17, .22 Wmr, .22 mag, and 25-06

Just left Temple Academy. Had .45, 45-70, 22lr, .40 , 556 55gr and 62gr, 308 and lots of it

Just too many people in the Metroplex buying ammo. I only buy 22lr. Reload everything else I shoot.

Humble Academy has several shelf’s full of 22.

Did happen to notice the type and price of the 45-70?

 

[BeatTheTunaUp]

it was monarch , didn't check the price. They were down to just a bunch of 62gr 556 yesterday. I'm going to make a run when my daughter wakes up. Stay tuned

When I was at Academy yesterday they had some .223 ammo made by Sierra? Sierra does ammo now?
It was in a green 20rd box.
The ammo counter guy said, now mind you this IS Academy, the cases were "aluminum".
Nope I don't think so.
He showed it to me but I didn't get a good look at the cases. They looked nickel plated to me.
Has anyone else seen this stuff in the green box?

I saw it for 24.95 a box and left it. It was labeled as Prarie Dog tactical or something stupid.

The only appropriate response to 99% of the gun counter guys anywhere is generally

Prairie Enemy. Touted as Blitzking. Nickel plated. Marketing gimmick, IMO.

just m855 and 50rnd packs or .22lr. Lots of it though

Local store had a ton of .22mag today. Some .22lr. A little bit of.40 and .45
Bunch of various .223/5.56.
Saw some 350 Legend.

I have a few boxes of Sierra 9mm ammo. Nickel plated brass shell casings, decent hollow points. I haven't shot any yet but it looks OK.

Found some PMC 9mm ammo today at my local Academy.

Found some PMC 9mm ammo today at my local Academy.

PMC is good range ammo, I just found they dirty the weapon a lot. Not a big deal.
I have some of their 38 special star fire.

Thanks for the info. I've never used it before. First time I'd ever seen it at Academy.

Hope any military, ex-military, LEOs and retired LEOs as well as many other first responders are asking for the discount at Academy - it's 10%. Note there is a lot of contradictory info about this available from Academy online versus in store versus to whom they actually give the discount and for how long the discount will last. In store it said may 2 - may 25, online it says May 2 through July 5th, both say for instore or online purchases. Also, online and relative to certain retirees, it does not say retired federal LE officers are eligible, it only says only retired federal police officers are eligible; however, in the stores they say I am eligible and have always given me this discount in the past (both in TX and AR) and they did so again today in TX. I have gotten the discount each time I show my retired federal LEO ID, no questions asked, no problems ever; however, your mileage may vary.
