Went to buy some Monarch today, the cheapest 7.62x39 in the country right now, as far as I know. Didn't see it on the shelf at Academy...I was pretty dissapointed. Went to go look at the pistol ammo behind the counter, and didn't see much 9mm.
Then I spotted my blue Monarch boxes and got 4. I asked why they were behind the counter when usually rifle ammo is out on the floor. Kid said they want to stop people from buying whole cases at a time. Told him that's pretty awesome. They are doing it with the high demand ammo like 9mm and 7.62x39. As he said that he pulled out 4 boxes of 9mm and put it on the shelf behind him. Said he had cases right at his feet but they were supposed to limit the sales per person. I didn't ask if there was a specific #, or if this was a corporate or local manager decision. Saw plenty of other calibers on the shelf and as always shotgun shells were plentiful.
