I actually found 3 boxes of 300 blackout on the shelf yesterday at the academy by my house here in the Houston area. Of course I could only buy 2, but I was shocked. We've been having a pretty steady supply of 223, 556, 308, with some 9mm, 40, and 45 sprinkled in for a few months now, but the 300 blackout this week and the 350 legend last week surprised the hell out of me. There was always 7.62 x 39. Don't think they have been out of it for at least 6 months now.

How much did you pay for the 300 blackout?

Let's just say he went in with two children and left with only one.

Best thing to come out of this shortage is I will now have a 7.62 with plenty of ammo

Truck must have stopped in Lafy and dropped off the entire load or got lost on the way to Alexandria. Checked Academy here just a couple hours ago and it was bone dry except for some oddball stuff.

Yep, same here. I've had an SKS for a long while now, had ammo, never ran out and occasionally restocked.

As I remember, Wolf/Tula steel-cased whatever always seemed to be somewhere around $200 a case, give or take.

In looking, I bought a case last June or July, for... $210 a case.
In looking today, I can get a case for under $400.

And it's still roughly, .15-20 cheaper than anything else.

Got 200 rounds of 45 Thurs from Academy by hitting both stores near me.

$27 for 50 rounds.

Could not pass it up.

Got 100 of 9mm today. Tried to buy some 22 at the same time.

Didn’t know it was literally “two boxes, period”.

Couldn’t help but laugh.

Near me, I can buy all the 5.56 I would ever want. Ammo shop will sell a box of 1000 if anyone wants to pony up the cash.

Yeah I’m always surprised at how much 5.56 is available compared to all the other common calibers

Revolver ammo is nowhere. I’ve been wanting to buy a new revolver but what’s the point with no bullets?
