I know the delivery dates for all the Academy stores between home and work.

The last Ammo I bought at a WalMart was Tul Ammo in 380ACP.... Worst Ammo ever.
My P238 wouldn't even strike it.

Was completely shocked yesterday morning at WalMart - Park and Tollway in Plano! There were four, 50 rd boxes of PPU, 9mm, 115 gr, FMJ at $14.57/box! Bought two of them - just like the old days! It's a sad day when I can get excited about buying somewhat cheap Serbian ammo! It was also a happy day that I didn't have to part with any still needed organ to afford two boxes of cheap Serbian ammo!

Here's another interesting one. Bought a box of 20 rd PMC Starfire HP 124 gr, paid $9.00 ( this was quite some time back).Cheaper Than Dirt now has the same ammo for the low price of just $89.19. I bet that sits on the shelf for a while.

Wal mart is actually getting ammo in on a fairly regular basis. They don't know when in advance but usually 2 or 3 times a week. Most stores stock at 7am. I got lucky when a big shipment in about a month ago and got 2 250 rd boxes of UMC brass 9mm and a box of 555 .22 lr. Since then I've gotten my limit of 3 boxes of 9mm, 40 s&w, 7.62x39 and .223 on various occasions, almost always at 7am or just before.

The other day some 7.62x39 actually sat on the shelf for one day day and night. :shock: Usually you have to go early and often but it can pay off.

Academy in Tomball had .45 Auto FMJ 100pk Winchester for ~$36. also had some decent 9mm.
Academy in Katy(99/10) had .45 Auto FMJ (think it was Federal) for ~$19.
i just ordered an XDS so I had to locate some .45 ammo as I drove around today. haha.

Bass Pro in Pearland had basically nothing aside from rifle rounds.

I've had pretty good luck here in Arlington dropping by Academy once a week and buying Monarch 9mm 115 gr FMJ. 1 box limit. It is my favorite range ammo. Shot 100 yesterday in my Nano. No problems.

That ammo order I placed at Mountain Ridge Armament back on 2/2/2013... the one they immediately snapped up $500 for? Still backordered. Now their next estimate is 6/1/2013.

Live and learn. I will NEVER do business with these folks again, and I encourage everyone else to stay clear. It was "in stock" when I placed the order, and now it's a minimum of 4 months to get my order? These folks are nothing but crooks. I'm about as fed up as I can get.

If it were me, I would ask for a refund.
