It is getting better. I've picked up 2,500 rounds or so over the last few months without even really trying, just buying it when I see it...mostly at Academy. It used to be that in order to get any, you had to be waiting in line when the door opened and standing at the counter when they brought it up from the truck. Now, if you just walk back to the gun section sometime during the day of a shipment, there are pretty good odds that you will get some if you want it.
