Does Academy get their shipments on certain days or you just got lucky?

PSA: if you spend over 70c/rd for 500+ rounds of brass 223/556 you are retarded


Maybe someone just understands market dynamics, wants the ammo, and has the money.

My online standby's were SGAmmo, Targetsportsusa, Brownell's, Selway, and a few others. It doesn't really matter right now, as everyone is out of stock almost continuously, and when they get something it's too high a price.

You don't have much choice when that's all that's available.

Simmons Sporting Goods in Bastop has a pretty good selection of ammo. Yeah they are still out of some types but lots of pistol bullets in stock.

What is "price gouging", is it illegal in Texas for a private business to charge whatever they want for their merchandise?


Price gouging would be allowing customers to order PMAGs for their regular $15 right at the beginning of a rush, the retailer realizing what’s going on, canceling orders, and then re-listing on their site for $75+.... which CTD did.

Capitalism is great in that it works both ways, sure a retailer is free to charge whatever they want, I’m also free to never spend my money at places that pull crap like that. So I won’t. Wont ever spend another dime at that store and I always encourage anybody who asks about them to do the same.

You do you though.
