    Was just there, alot of empty spaces on the ammo shelves. No 7.62x39. Shotgun shells getting less and less. They are almost out of buckshot.
    Heard that some sks rounds are available in Beaumont but costs going up. Dealer said getting harder to find it.

    Boy oh Boy.

    Lets see they just had their x39 on super sale, and we got the tip from you. Shotguns shells it is deer and duck season. I'm sure there is more people buying ammo as the thought of the repercussion if something was to happen to the Messiah. I know at work I think the cleaning lady would come after me if something was to happen to the chosen one. I just wish shipping wasn't so damn expensive on ammo.

    Thats strange i was just at the Airline Academy in BR and you could barely get down the aisle there was so much ammo. I saw cases of 7.62x39. I bought a 100 rounds of Federal .223 55 gr at walmart for $39.99 last night and I 100 pack of Remmington target load shotgun shells for $24.

    They put in new ammo lockers at the wal-marts around kenner and metairie. They are next to the sporting goods counter.

    Tell them to ship some to Lake Charles, we're starving over here.

    I was after some of the blue box 223 and while I was in BR yesterday I checked both Academy's. They had none. But I found some in Slidell this morning. Maybe they are just putting out so much each day and don't re stock the shelves until the following day.

    i went to the academy on jeff. hwy and clearview on sat. The shelf was empty of the 223 blue box, but the guy found 4 boxes (500 rounds each) that had just came in, so i grabbed a few. The shelf was stocked full of 223 green box.
