re: Cabelas has ammo

the shortage has lessened but the shortage is not over. Finding certain calibers like .223/5.56, .40SW, 9mm, and .22lr is still not easy. Many police departments across the country can't even find enough ammo to train/qualify. Some departments have gone to using airsoft rifles for training purposes because of the lack of ammunition.

If there weren't supply shortages they wouldn't be limiting you to the purchase of 5 boxes (or 3 at Academy). 100 rounds of .223 (5 boxes worth) doesn't take too long to go through at the range.
