2nd Amendment Sports has 10% off their ammo currently. Prices and selection weren't that great to begin with (only had S&B .223 @ $7.49/ 20 before discount) but it might dull the pain a little.

After tax and discount that still comes out to 36.4 cents a rd or $364/1k

oh how i wish i stockpiled ammo like the rest of arfcom a couple years back..

Yeah I know, I bought some on Impulse and as I drove away I thought "what was I thinking?" Oh well I'm going shooting tomorrow (assuming my friend calls me back) since it's dead day, and figured I'd replenish what I shot last time I went.
I didn't want to go through all the trouble of organizing a shoot like last semester ,but since all my friend are working or have class (Pima) arfcommers can show up.
