OMG!!!!! It is probably gone now. I thought it was customary to post this info on a daily basis!!! Seriously...that store is right down from my house... I would have bought all they would sell me.

Saturday mornings are usually a good time. They put it out every night and then it is there at 7:00 when they will sell it again in the morning.

Next time I go I will try to post it ASAP.

Just curious if this thread serves any practical purchase.

Actually, this thread has morphed from 'Ammo on Sale' to 'Ammo Spotted'. Its original function was to notify of hot deals on ammo. This was all before the big ammo shortage started.

i wish this forum was mobile-friendly, it would be awesome if i could update this thread from my phone!

With the right kind of phone you can. I can do it from my Blackberry and iPhone. Many other web-enabled phones work also.

I heard the reason it was so expensive is it was a special new round. It's called the '.380 Sucker.'

Well that is a 25% increase, so not far from 30%. Sheesh, guess I need to start saving my brass and get back into reloading.

The big difference I have found with Monarch over WWB is it is 'dirtier' and leaves a lot of powder residue. That is no problem for me since I always clean my guns after going to the range. It always goes bang, so the price is more imporatnt to me.

I have not tried the new steel cased Monarch they are selling for $6.99 in the blue box at Academy, but am going to as soon as I can get to the range.

Got my Bass Pro flyer today and it says ALL ammo is 10% off. Not a lot, but it helps!!

I just got the latest Cabela's catalog and they have .40 SXT for $12.99 a box of 50. Online shows $14.99, so you might have to order over the phone.
