I just got through talking to the owner of a local gun store and he is
interested in having ammo on site for the three days of the shoot. He won't
have solid prices until the middle of January, but in the meantime if people
that might want to buy ammo at the event would give me some idea of the type
and quantity I would appreciate it. I told him that Federal Gold Medal in
.223, .308, 30-06, and .300 Win Mag would probably cover 80 to 90% of the
people, but if I'm wrong please let me know soon. If it's something a
little 'off the wall' I'm sure you could special order it and have it
delivered to the site, but you probably would have to pay up front.
This might be a particularly good deal for people that are flying to the
event (I have one entry from Michigan already) and don't want to pack 300+
rounds of ammo with them.
Of possible minor interest is that the ATF came out for a visit to the
explosives magazine last week. It was a pleasant visit. They are making
'courteous visits' to everyone with explosives licenses and it was my turn
last week. Inspector Nelson said her brother might be interested in
attending next year. She took some pictures of the empty magazine and asked
me to report any suspicious behavior regarding people associated with my
explosives dealings.
Have a merry Christmas and get your entries in soon if you want to attend.
I expect I will get a flood of entries after the first of the year.
