If you want a bulk pack of anything you probably need to be there BEFORE they open. I got there 2 hrs early and was second in line. It got me the only 9mm spam can they had and 1 of 3 150 rnd cans if 5.56.

thats my problem as well. I live about a block away from the Academy out here but I gotta be at work before 06 for pt, and dont usually get off till about 1800 or so... my stash is getting depleted haha
Yeah, yeah yeah - I hear ya. I've got to be at work by 7:30 - like iehooligan. I've asked them many times "When is the truck coming." The answer is always - we don't know. I've got no issues buying ammo on line, but I've never done it and I have no idea who the shysters are. A buddy said Freedom Ammunition, but their website is a little sketchy.
True dat. I'm learning. I do have plenty of shotgun ammo though. Birds Beware. My dogs will get pissed at me if they don't get a few of them in their mouths.

Prices went up starting in November '08 and didn't drop back down for a while. (I'm not sure exactly when - I deployed to Afghanistan in early May '09 and wasn't buying anything for a year.)
But there was still ammo available, it was just more expensive. Now you can't even find .22LR

It took about a year for supply to meet demand again. Prices fell, but they weren't as low as they were per-Obama. Part of that had to do with metals continuing to climb.
This run on ammo does seem to be a bit more severe than last time... I think I'm ok ammo wise, but it does dampen how much I practice which is never a good thing. Guess I'm mostly just shooting .22lr this year

Where are you finding .22lr?
My ammo shelf... at least for the time beingWhere are you finding .22lr?

I opened my shotshell bag, wow! 3 bricks of .22lr I didn't know I had. That and what I was aware of will hold me for a while.
I'm old enough to hide my own Easter eggs.

Meh...I'm going to be reduced to pulling out the Yugo Mausers and firing off my supply of Ecuadoran surplus 7.92X57.
