Also the increase in price has had an effect.I asked one of the clerks if reducing the limit from 3 boxes to 2 had an impact on the morning line the response was "Not really." For whatever reason it seems just more ammo is showing up.
An academy gun counter kid .........
You are a better person than I am. Upon hearing the blather about “ stockpiling to normalize prices” I would have immediately asked him if his mother had any children that weren’t completely fucking retarded, and if she did, why did she let him grow up?An academy gun counter kid said Remington is producing and stockpiling. Supposedly shipping out very little. He said a buddy of his has gun company ties and heard it through the grapevine. He alleges that they are going to drop it all on the market in a few months to normalize prices and kill the secondary market.
That info is in direct contrast to gun show seller I know who said the real shortage is hitting in Q2 of this year. It will be interesting to see who's right. That guy has been buying at 223 at 65 CPR for months but now as well as 9mm for $22.50/box. I guess he can get all he wants now at academy 2 boxes at a time.
Either way, I'm buying whatever I find at reasonable prices but for me that means a hard pass on all the pumped up academy ammo. If I can get a fairly priced bulk pack I'm in. I'd still advise people to buy whatever they like to shoot while it's there to be had. It's not like it's going back to 2019 prices anytime soon.

Vista Outdoors.Remington ammunition is currently dead. The company that bought Remington ammunition post bankruptcy (I believe the same company that owns Federal and Speer) stated that the factory was in such bad shape when they purchased it last year that it could only run to 30% capacity. They said they would not start making ammo again until they could rebuild to 100% capacity.
Random dude at Academy was misinformed or lying.
