Well with the prices the way they are going with this stuff, we may need to make a run on this...

Was that $40 for a "YELLOW" box??? I stand to be corrected if I am wrong...

Yes, it is a 250-round yellow box.

Did I miss something? What caliber are you looking for? 9mm, correct? $43.96 for 250 at Academy.

The 30+ year old .25acp ammo I got from SC1903A3 was Remington UMC. It shot just fine

Ok, well I'll be the first to go against popular opinion. I tried two of the .40 yellow "mega" boxes a couple years ago, when I lived in San Antonio. Out of both boxes I probably had a total of 20-25 rounds that would do a hard nose up at the feed ramp and jam the slide open. And this came from two Sigs and an XD. Don't know if I got a couple boxes from a bad batch or what, but from that day on I've been very weary of the stuff. Course, I seem to be in the minority with these experiences, so take it for what its worth.

Got a pic of the old box next to a new one. Both are 50-round boxes, the old box is marked "UMC" on the side.

It was $39.86 at mine, and that's the price that the website seems to reflect, as well.

I was at Academy last night and it was indeed $39.xx for the 9mm, but $57.xx for the .40 S&W.

I stand corrected. I was going off of my obviously errant memory. Thanks for correcting me.
