ammo in Baton Rouge

[ofcmetz]

Today I noticed this.

Walmart on Seigen lane had $8.97 boxes of 50 federal 9mm FMJ. $30 winchester white boxes of 100 rounds 38 special 130 grain FMJ.

Academy had monarch 380 ammo in stock. $17 a box.

I'm hoping that this means some of the supply is coming back.

Sorry, the Academy was on Seigen as well. I should of mentioned that.

Thanks for the heads up guys. I went to Academy and picked up some .380 which I needed. With the five box limit, both store had a least another 5 boxes of .380. FWIW, the BR Academy stores seem to have more pistol ammo than the Lafayette store.

Holy Crap. Went to Academy on Airline tonight... More ammo than I have seen in MONTHS!

I saw at least 4 boxes of 380... which I bought on the spot. They had 38, 380, 45, 40, 9mm... etc. Looked like they had plenty. All around their normal prices too.

Very happy to see it hitting the shelves.

I'll be happy when I see flats of quality surplus 5.56 for $89/1000.

dont hold ur breath... at least not if youre looking for good "quality" rounds.

College Dr. Wal-Mart is out of pretty much everything. Looked to have one box of WWB .357 SIG.

Any idea on BR 9mm?

Yeah i bought some .40 ammo from the Academy on airline the other day. We asked them about the 5 box limit. The guy told us that people were buying all their stock and re-selling it to other gun places who would turn it around and sell it for 2x what Academy sold it to them for.

One of those places was Arms Merchant in Mandeville. My friend bought .380 ammo from them the other day and he looked on the bottom of the box and it had an Academy sticker on it. He paid $30 for the box of Monarch .380 rds. the same box that he bought at Academy for $17 a few days later. He said that he really needed the ammo or he would not have bought it. Also a range in Slidell called F.I.T.S. was doing the same thing.

Ever since Academy put the 5 box limit sign F.I.T.S. will not allow people to shoot Monarch ammo. According to the guy behind the counter at Academy who used to work at the Academy in Slidell.

Crazy stuff. I can only hope that the supply is catching up and that this kind of behavior and price gouging will end soon. Uffff.
