I'm glad I bought more than one case of this back in March when it was $10 cheaper and still had flat rate shipping of $8 versus now the shipping goes up as high as $20. I really didn't need more ammo anytime soon but I knew the ammo prices were going up everywhere but I had no idea Academy would also jack up their shipping price. I assume they may be paying more for shipping due to higher fuel prices.
Yanks01@reddit
1000 rd case of 9mm ammo weighs roughly 28lbs as best I can determine, so if you order 1500 rds, here it is likely around 42 pounds give or take a few pounds. I would venture to guess they were losing money on the shipping charge before and decided to put a stop to that and pass the cost on to the buyer. Can't say I blame them, just wish they had some in stock locally so I could just go pick it up instead.
Old_MI_Runner@reddit
Shipping still tops out at $20 for ammo so Academy could still be loosing money on shipping if one orders enough ammo.
the_d0nkey@reddit
SGAmmo is free over $200.

You’d probably be shocked at the amount of D2C business that AREN’T using shipping charges as a revenue stream.
That’s why everyone gets so fucking pissed when some wack-ass buster comes in here and post a $50 stripped lower with a $43 shipping charge.
Old_MI_Runner@reddit
The comments on a KE Arms sale posting got crushed by all the complaints about high shipping costs. But KE Arms was not interested in loosing money on shipping and I suspect the big volume seller get much lower shipping rates than some business with a small fraction of the shipping volume.
ac8369@reddit
I got charged $15 shipping to Florida.
Old_MI_Runner@reddit
I put various numbers of boxes of ammo in my cart and saw shipping go from $8, $15 and then $20 and top out at $20. There may have been some other fee in there somewhere.
In the past it was $8 for one box of 50 rounds and still $8 for 5000 rounds or more.
14Three8@reddit
Why are 115s always the dirt cheap muck rounds?
fl1ghtless_bird@reddit
Also academy is currently running their seasonal mil discount of 10%. It works if you buy less than $300 worth of ammo, after that the OP’s mentioned 10% off bulk discount applies. They won’t stack.
TowTruckrnCopseatmya@reddit
How do I get mil discount as a civilian.
1WontDoIt@reddit
Show them your COD stats bro
Nasty_Priest@reddit
My cod stats are ass these days. Will they accept cod stats from black ops 2 and older cods?
PIPBOY-2000@reddit
Thank you for your service. Now tell me what the numbers mean!!
1WontDoIt@reddit
Oh damn I didn't realize you were a veteran! 🫡
RyAllDaddy69@reddit
How about Fortnite? If I show them my Battlepass and my level on the current season, will that work?
1WontDoIt@reddit
It'll likely land you in an involuntary hold at the psych ward.

BlizzardOwO@reddit
Stolen valor lol
RyAllDaddy69@reddit
Will real yell at us if we do it for the ammo discount?
As long as they don’t treat us as bad as the fuck-ass Coast Guard, i can take it.
/s I’M JOKING…BEFORE THE DOWNVOTES COMMENCE.
The Coast Guards been getting more action than anybody else for the last year(well, until recently).
As long as they give a Space Force discount, I’m Gucci(I didn’t serve in the Space Force but I have a lightsaber so that should count for something).

I havent tried yet but the mil discount says ammo is excluded
DiarrheaForDays@reddit
I can confirm it works in the store
CommOnMyFace@reddit
Sold out
chancellorofpain@reddit
Doesn’t ship to Washington state hahahahahaha…. ugh.
os_beef@reddit
For basically no reason. Won't be buying anything from them from here on out.
Excellent_Act_8302@reddit
Yeah because you can’t…
os_beef@reddit
They break their products into categories. They won't ship certain categories to Washington. For example, they won't ship ammunition, but they will ship optics. I won't buy anything from them from here on out. That's whether restrictions are lifted or not.
Excellent_Act_8302@reddit
That’ll show em
os_beef@reddit
I know, right? On the other hand, that's fewer dollars going into their pockets, and I can sleep at night knowing I'm ethically consistent. You do you, and I really don't care what that is.
BallisticBurrito@reddit
Still works if you have an academy near you with stock. Just got back from in-store pickuping 1500 rounds.
ProperBid5910@reddit
Thanks OP - in for 6x.
No_Leg6630@reddit
Inb4 “don’t shoot this in comped or ported guns” blah blah blah.
Bright_Owl_9275@reddit
first ive heard of this, now im cancelling.... I had around 21 cents per round after my capital one venture 7x on the purchase. FMJ it is.
was planning to use with a PMM Flat Faced Compensator for Walther PDP
BboyTypeR@reddit
I run it in the same gun it’s fine
No_Leg6630@reddit
Probably gonna be your loss. I’ve been shooting this with my ramjet, ported Glock and Yhm r9 for about 2-3 years now. All still going to this day.
Bright_Owl_9275@reddit
sir, the warning is right on the ammo. the risk is low but im not going to risk hurting myself and an innocent bystander over it. I have a compensator and any shrapnel that comes off is going to get thrown out or up. its not my loss. my loss will be when im in cuffs cause I didnt read a box and follow warning labels.
No_Leg6630@reddit
The warning is there to cover their ass. People are still going to use it. Nonetheless, have a great day boss.
Aerial_Burial_88@reddit
You goofed.
koba1995@reddit
Why not
toolness122@reddit
They are plated bullets, not jacketed. So some people say it will shed the plating
LongoChingo@reddit
It will. Shoot enough and you'll feel little tickles of jacket hitting your face.
andee510@reddit
Does that matter though, like does it hurt the gun? I am thinking about picking up a P-10 C ported, but the majority of my 9mm is Blazer
No_Leg6630@reddit
I’d say eh, not really. It’ll almost shoot blazer exclusively. A regular cleaning here and there and keep pushing.
LongoChingo@reddit
It can hurt your gun, but it's unlikely. The jacket flakes can build up and generate extra wear spots or clog ports/comps.
You may also see extra small holes around bullet impacts.
Jacket fragments can also spray in the direction of your ports, potentially hitting things in those directions.
As long as you're doing regular cleaning, I don't think you'll experience any major problems.
CMOS_Arch@reddit
It definitely sheds the plating. I shoot 1000 - 1200 rounds of it each month.
No_Leg6630@reddit
Give it a few min. Those people will show up in a few minutes.
de_dax@reddit
I only shoot through comped guns lol
No_Leg6630@reddit
Ya damn right. Comped. Porter. Suppressed. I don’t give a damn.
de_dax@reddit
I felt some “spray-back” a hand full of times but nothing that would stop be from buying and shooting this stuff out of any comp, port, or suppressor.
No_Leg6630@reddit
I just get a little gold fairy dust everywhere fine by me.
ThatGuyGetsIt@reddit
Shitters cancelled my last order for this stuff.
Apprehensive-Bar7597@reddit
Get one of those bogus navy seals that walk around dressed in uniform when not working their shift at IHOP to buy it for you. Met one with a seal team 6 ID card. Claimed he was on the Bin Laden raid. He was at least 80lbs overweight and was working on his GED at age 40. Yes, I’m serious.
Teutonics@reddit
It was actually cheaper per round for me to buy $300+ of the 200rd packs and pick up in store rather than pay shipping. Ended up being 21.6cpr before tax. You might want to check that now that it appears to be OOS now.
PresidentStone@reddit (OP)
Hell yeah. I also don't have a store near me, so shipping only.
Confident_Bit_7613@reddit
Ppl really be on here complaining about ammo upcharge when gas prices are even worse! Blows my mind
MrLamorso@reddit
Under an ammo post? Man what a head scratcher...
Bigd19_79@reddit
You can also still get the steel case for 19-20 cpr depending if you pickup or get it shipped.
j2142b00@reddit
Going to have to swing by one of the stores on my way home
Reasonable_Leave850@reddit

koosies@reddit
LOL
dovahbe4r@reddit
I’m retarded but I’m not that retarded. Just pointing out the absurdity of being able to finance a box of 9mm over 36 months.
Supetition4rad@reddit
Thanks OP, in for 3 to get the 10%. For perspective, here’s a reference for 1k rounds for other ammo packs.

masteroffeels@reddit

Own-Concentrate999@reddit
Hit a smooth jig while sending em down range. A man of culture.
Extra_Handle_3291@reddit
Solid deal. I used similar a few weeks ago and then again but went with monarch bc it was about 17cpr for steel and 19 for brass. Got like 1k brass and 500 steel
