The Remington value packs I bought were $24.99 a box. I did not see the prices of any of the other calibers.

To update everyone on Academy and their ammo sales. I was just at the same Academy that I learned about the limit and now they have lifted the limit on all ammo once again. I hope all the complaining I did about the two box limit changed their policy back to the norm. I was just in there and they had several choices of all calibers. They got a truck this morning and I bought 8 of the 11 value pack Remington 9mm FMJ they had. The department manager would NOT sell me the other boxes. He said he had to leave some for other people. I told him I had come by the last 3-4 days in a row and I am other people! I was happy to get what I did. Good luck to all.

I manage an auto shop and have tons of wheel weights. What might a 5 gallon bucket be worth? I know what is worth in the scrap yard but not to a reloader. Not that I am going to gouge or anything. As I don't reload myself, but I would like to see a fellow gun nut prosper instead of a shady scrap metal guy.

oh and all the Academy stores in my area have the limit on ALL handgun ammo and what they are classifying as "assault weapon ammo" too (that was hand written on their printed sign by the way ) 5.56/.223, 7.62 soviet, 5.45, and .308/7.62NATO. What is terrible is that all the stores are not consistent. Some are just limiting .223 some just the handgun ammo, some have everything that anyone would want behind the counter. They left all the super expensive .308 like $25-40 a box on the shelf and the reasonably priced stuff behind the counter.

I visited the Academy in Rosenberg and they had plenty of WWB in 9mm. There again they only let me buy ONE box of WWB value packs. So I took my buddy, my girlfriend, and my Dad all to buy me some ammo. I was able to get 4 boxes total, but they would not come off anymore. The clerk said they started the policy Tuesday of this week.

I buy LOTS of ammo at Academy myself and have never run into this before. I am going to call a few other stores in my area.

Reloading is great for the people that have/make the time to do it. I am not one of those people though. I know it is cheaper after you get set up with equipment and everything, but when one works 50-60hrs a week time is more valuable than money in some instances.

I just stopped by the Academy in Sugar Land to stock up on some ammo. They are limiting their handgun ammo and .223 ammo to two boxes per customer. I thought is was silly, but I said that is fine. Let me get two boxes of WWB in the value pack. The store clerk then told me I could only buy one box because it had 100rds in it. Then I told him if that is the case I should be able to buy five boxes of .223 or 2/5ths of a UMC mega pack in 9mm. He laughed and said NO. To make matters worse in the frustration department I had fourteen boxes of .308 in my hands already that they were not limiting. I bought the .308 and ONE box of 9mm in WWB. I guess I will be going back tonight when I get off to buy another box or two if I can. Just silly I think, they are not making any more or less money if I buy one box or two or everything they have in stock. The total revenue is the same for Academy.
