Academy ammo

[mavs]

I'm not paying 40 cents a round for 9mm. I'll keep shooting .22 that I can buy for a nickel a round instead for fun. And I'll keep the 9mm I have for emergency use only.

The academy close to me in Garland gets ammo on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday. Lines are pretty much gone in those mornings before they open. Ammo guy says there are usually 8 to 10 people instead of the 150 they used to have.

I hear you, but I promised to take my nephew on a shooting outing in a couple of weeks. Since I only have a 1000 odd rounds of 9 mm, and to replace what I’m going to use, it's either Academy at .40 per round, buy something online with shipping where it comes out to .55+ per round, or grab some rocks from the yard for .00 per round

Since my Beretta doesn't like rocks, and my wallet doesn't like paying for shipping, or anything above $20 a box, I guess I’m left with Academy for the time being.

Yes sir, I agree with you and appreciate your situation. Hope you and you nephew have a great outing !

Bear in mind, if you are a first responder or military, the 10% discount at Academy expires on July 5th.

I'm paying a little less than 1.01 a round of 308

It was hornady leverevolution.

Is your 30-30 scoped? That is where this ammo absolutely shines. I have shot sub 1” groups with this ammo at 100, but at 200 it shoots about the same as a 308.
Have taken deer at over 200 and pigs at close to 300. It is “long range” 30-30

Are they not doing the discount anymore at all?

Just during the promotional periods from what I’ve seen. Around Veterans Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, etc.

Went to the Dallas Academy today at lunch and was able to pickup 4 - 150 boxes of Winchester 9mm.
52.99 per box.

A few weeks back I bought 2 boxes of Winchester 38 Spc FMJ.

I had not seen any on any shelf since the beginning of the insanity.

I haven't seen any 50+ packages of 9mm in a while aside from Monarch (which is usually steel) and Browning.

$52.99 is pretty decent (35 cents per round) for 150rds. Considering the average market prices right now.

Funny you mentioned that. This is what I just bought on academy.com. 400 rounds for $170

Walked into Missouri City Academy...shelves were lightly stocked with random calibers.
They had two rolling metal carts filled as well as a shopping carts filled with unopened cases of ammo.

A few different 9mm brands were available @ 40 cents a round.
Was looking for 22LR CCI Mini Mag, but no luck.
Went in for Remington 12 guage Shurshot #6, and they had them at almost $9 a box.

Was visiting Lubbock over the weekend and ran into academy to buy some rain jackets. Surprised to see these 200 round battle packs of PPU 9mm just sitting there in the middle of the day. $69.99 each...highest price I have paid for 9mm (~36 cents with academy card discount), but was just happy to get that much of it out of the blue. They let me pick up 4 packs.

Always wanted to try those!

Walmart had 22lr CCI Mini Mag and several other CCI rounds today. Also had 22lr Federal Automatch. Picked me up another thousand rounds of Automatch.

I'm not paying 40 cents a round for 9mm...I have plenty of it and I just keep shooting my Glock 44.

correct...I am also not down to pay 40 cents for 9mm. however I did just buy some at 36 cents out the door...heh. Picked up four monarch 200 round battle packs.

Damn, the prices of 9mm at Academy went up around $2 to $3 per box of 50 in the last week., or so, here in Texarkana. They were $18.95 Remington and $19.95 Federal - both FMJ. Now, they are $21.99 each! Then again, yesterday, they had Winchester Forged 9mm (steel cased) at about $110 per box of 150! Get that - steel cased, in a kind of, sort of, almost bulk sized box for about .73 cents per round! I asked if they had the wrong price and they said nope, it is correct even though the 50 round boxes of brass cased 9mm were at about .44 cents per round!!! That is plumb crazy, yet folks were buying them, at that super inflated price, like hotcakes at a firehouse breakfast. I guess they just wanted more rounds of ammo in their four (4) box limit of pistol/rifle ammo than buying by the box of 50 or were just too frigging stupid to do the math and to buy some now and come back the next day for more.

I'm so glad I started reloading a few years ago.

Got 600 rounds yesterday at the Dallas store, then thanks to another member here who gave me the idea, I ordered 4 100-round boxes of WWB.
