I was in the neighborhood and decided to drop by Bass Pro to see if by some random chance they had powder to load my new .35 Remington.
They didn't have the Varget I was looking for, but I ended up getting some Benchmark, which is also suppose to be a good powder for the .35 Rem.
The score came when I was milling about getting a box of Hyrda-shok for my 9mm (plenty of that on the shelf). Up rolls the store staff with a cart full of ammo cans. 420 rounds of 62gr Lake City 5.56mm..for $199! Of course I grabbed a can...just for GP.
At $9.50/bx equivalent that's not exactly pre-stupidity prices, but still not unreasonable...and I got another ammo can...yay.
They also had a Bushmaster M4 (Mil-Spec) in the new display for only $949!
I SOOOO wanted to grab it, but I have resigned myself that I don't need a short barrel AR when I have the Mini. Still, a very good deal for someone.
