Early on in this ammo shortage he gave everyone in the group first dibs on a shipment of ammo that came in. Should have known something was up when they were all ordering several thousand rounds each.

At this point I would assume it’s being mostly just resold online for large profit. That’s when the store needs to limit purchases to _# of boxes. That shit gets old real quickly.

February 11, 20214 yr Author They are. 2 boxes at one I visited, 3 at the other. Houston though. He made it sound like it was ~50 of the same guys. It is. Small dealers are buying all the good shit 3 days a week. 5am is about right (ask me how I know).
February 11, 20214 yr With near zero temperatures early next week, the lines may not be quite as long outside Academy.

February 11, 20214 yr @Johnny Sack made a post earlier this week that led me to put together a spreadsheet of everything I have. I’m not in dire straights, but definitely won’t be confused with a hoarder. Need to get a box of .257 wby and a box of .243 and I’ll be good. I think I can manage that pretty easily. Biggest issue is I’m looking to upgrade glass on a few of them this year, and by the time it’s on and shot in, I’ll just be that much lower. So thinking I’m going to try and pick up a box of each caliber if/when I can find it. I think I’ll largely be able to avoid the 2-300% markups on gunbroker etc. One thing I noticed is I lost a box of .30 carbine at some point in time. wrt shotshells, I have enough to make a few rounds of clays when I get the bug, and enough for Teal season and a few duck hunts already. I’ll have to work on something for dove season and I’m missing quail this year due to work. The largest impact I can see is there will be less time behind the trigger this year for practice which sucks. note: I don’t dabble too much in short arms or ARs. Though I’ve put in an order with Larue so guess it’s time to start stacking some 5.56 if I ever see it.

February 13, 20214 yr Paid 39 cents for these all day, every day, 65 years ago... I bought a few cases of 223 maybe 5 to 10 years ago at $210 plus freight. Inflation wise I bet its similar.
February 14, 20214 yr Found a few components and a box of hollow points traveling up to my dads on Friday. I have several box of those win white box hp that I bought years ago at Academy for about $40 i think. and haven’t seen them for sale in a while. I had read that they are Win rangers packed like that for LE sales but don’t know for sure.

Everything I’ve read on these is they have the same bullet as the ranger but without a nickel case and produced as part of US gov contract (maybe FBI???) I’ve shot some a while back but still have several boxes stashed away. Went ahead and bought these as they were about the same price as most other jhp rounds when you could find them.
February 18, 20214 yr I cleaned out my ammo locker of shit I had no intention of ever shooting or of shooting within the next year. I did four FTF deals with fishing buddies locally and walked away with 3 boxes of 300BLK subsonic in trade as well as about $300 in cash. If anyone sees any .204 Ruger online in heavier weights - 40gr and above - please shoot me a DM or quote this post. There's an old guy at my hunting lease who's down to skunk weed. I found him some 32gr Remington ammo to whack varmints during the offseason.

February 18, 20214 yr Pretty sure it's a pain in the ass. You have to be damn sure that it goes ground. I had a client once air ship ammo. Got caught and got a fine of like $4500 from the FAA.

February 26, 20214 yr @Bozo_Casanova Yeah - I did a full inventory today and I'm happily shocked with what I amassed over the last several years. I wish I had unrealized gains in my investment portfolio that match what I have in my ammo closet. I owe a lot to paying attention to Sam Gabbert at SG Ammo in his newsletters . He was banging the drums from 2018-2020 to buy all you can whenever you can when this stuff hit decade + lows in prices. He was pretty transparent and it paid off for me.

February 26, 20214 yr Speaking of shipping ammo. The big spring skeet shoot is in San Antonio in two weeks and they are low on ammo to sell. Usually they literally have cases and cases for purchase from every conceivable manufacturer, usually at prices lower than most retailers. Good thing I have my own stash. ("Inaugural" means with the new name. Blaser didn't renew their sponsorship this year.)

I have this imagine in my mind of gangs of retirees leaving Whataburgers and coffee shops after they've hung out since 5am and heading en masse to go resume the gossip and political bitching in the Academy line. Almost sounds like this has become a hobby for some, as I can't see how this has been sustained for so long if it wasn't.

I have never waited in line but I have driven by the line before 8am to get some breakfast and then shown up between 8 and 8:30 to go in. Everytime I've went in that early I have found something that I wanted. My local Academy just puts all the ammo on a roll around shelf by one of the registers and once inside you line up at that one and make your selection before moving to the register.
