I figure the Obamessiah has this one in the bag. From there I surmise that we're going to get hit with high taxes/regulation on ammo. I think they've learned it is easier to go after the ammo than the guns.
Accordingly, I've been stocking up when I see the opportunity.
Today Dick's Sporting Goods runs a 'Buy One, Get One' on all ammo. Limit buy three boxes, get three boxes free. Cool, I'm in. 6 boxes of Winchester .308 for the price of 3 boxes; .45 per round before tax. It's 150 gr SP which will run through the DPMS just fine and the brass is reloadable which I'm also after as the DPMS is my very first .308 gun.
Stop by Cabela's on the way home and ask if they'll match the deal. Yes, of course; we match. OK... buy three boxes of Federal Power Shok 150gr SP and I start to walk out with 6 boxes, this time at .40 per round, all reloadable. But WAIT! They've got a club card deal going. Buy $100 total and get $30 off. I'm at $50 so I pick up a couple of Nemesis pocket holsters I've been wanting at $17 each and some of their good hunting sox to make it to $100. So I get the whole load for $70 plus tax.
I choose to view it as getting another $30 off on the .308 ammo (hey, it's my call.. I say the ammo got cheaper!) making me a happy man. Laid in 240 rounds of .308 for about .32 per round, tax included.
Then I went and shot 2 rounds of trap and 2 of skeet.
What a NICE day.
