Ammo is getting better all the time.

I checked the local Academy a few days ago, they had a couple more rifle calibers showing up, a few boxes of .45 ACP, plenty 9mm and some .22LR, but no .380 or .22mag, which I still need a few. Some .40 cal too usually but not a lot.

Still no .38 or .357 showing up yet, no.32 or .25, any other less popular pistol rounds. I haven’t seen any .243 in ages, but the very popular .223 and 5.56 are usually there these days. A few 10mm now and then but very few.

Compared to 6 months ago, it’s lots better now, at that time the shelves were totally bare, at opening time the line outside the door was 75 to 100 feet long and if you want your *one* box of ammo, you better be in it. 4 cases of 9mm gone in 15 minutes. Now their limit is 4 boxes rifle and pistol, and 10 boxes of shotgun shells. 6 months ago it was one of each. Yes you could get one box rifle/pistol and one box shotgun.

One day even a couple of local cops were in line. They said they were able to get ammo through official channels, but not enough to get in some range time. So they came to academy to try and stock up a little. I didn’t ask, but I’d almost bet academy gave cops a break and let them have more than one box...

It still needs to improve, but it’s getting a lot better. I saw 9mm stay on the shelf for 2 days a couple of weeks ago. That’s a big improvement...
