Academy has lots of 9mm in stock. I wouldn't say it's cheaper, but it's been a long time since I saw so much in stock.

OP was referencing reloading bullets. Maybe he thought it was ammo, but it's not, just the bullet. There are certainly cheaper bullets available ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

I recently bit the bullet, pun intended, and ordered ammo online from various vendors. I was not shooting because my stock was so low. Not really outstanding prices, but much lower than previously seen. Bought .380, 9mm Lugar, .40 S&W and .45 ACP. I still need some .38 Special and .357, but my cash supply is low after ordering the other calibers. I wish I still had my reloading equipment.

Yes, when I went into Academy last week, there seemed to be quite a bit more ammo on the shelf and the little carts nearby. However, some calibers are still conspicuously missing, including .38 Special/.357 Magnum, .44 Magnum, .30-06, .243 Winchester, .30-30, in other words, hunting and "old-timer" cartridges. TONS of 9mm and 5.56mm, from quite a few brands. Even a decent amount of .22LR (but sadly, no .22 WMR).

*Edited for spelling*

I posted this in the ammo on sale thread.
Found some decently priced (for these days anyway) .38 Spcl 158gr jacketed rounds. $25.50/BX of 50 New. Shipping is flat rate $14.95 for any amount of rounds at Freedom Munitions. I have shot their ammo in pistol and rifle in the past and bought it online and when they had a brick and mortar shop. Never had any issues with their new or re-manufactured ammunition. This .38 Spcl ammo is new brass cased.

There was never an ammo "shortage", it was always available if you were willing to pay. But the going rate did get up to around $1.00 a round for 5.56, and 9mm. So I haven't been shooting at all - maybe 3-4 range trips total in the last 18 months. Heck, I have 4 guns that I have bought in that time and have never actually fired, lol.

As prices come down, I need to schedule me some range time!

We started inventorying our ammo stocks at home a few days ago. Let's put it this way ... unless I buy a gun in a new caliber, I won't be needing to buy ammo for "a period of time".

I did everyone a favor by stocking up at what I though would be the best prices. LOL Like when I wash my car it guarantees it will rain. Just got an email with .380 new ammo $18.50 bx and .40 S&W reman 17.00 bx. Other calibers available as well. :lol:

I had a rule that I would not pay anything over .16 per round for 9mm... When it hit .25c I was like Nope... Not going to pay that.. Then it hit .35 and I was defiantly not going to pay that.... All the way up to .50 and more. Now it's back down to an average of .32 per round and I actually go hmm... not a bad price... Still holding out though for at least .25 per round.. Though I'll probably never see that again...

Last year, I bought 1,000 rounds of Blazer brass 9mm for trips to the range each time I saw it in the $.35/round range. Natchez has been listing it pretty regularly at $339/1,000 loose pack box. Iโ€™d much rather be paying $.16/round, but Iโ€™m afraid we wonโ€™t see princes like those for some time to come.
