Bad News, Good News

The bad news is, one of the only four Mom & Pop gun shops I'm aware of in a 75 mile radius is going out of business. Mom and Pop are retired and simplifying their lives.
Good news is, reloading supplies 20% off, and that's from shelf prices over a year old, so they were cheap to start with! No primers I needed, but got 200 125gr JHP .357 bullets, 200 230gr FMJ .45 bullets, a pound of 700x, a pound of IMR4350, an extra magazine for my MK-II and a can of Hornady spray case lube for $165.
They had 15% off all used guns too, but the only thing I was interested in was an "American West" (Italian clone) .45LC pump-action rifle. Wanted it, but 15% off the tag still puts it at about $250 more than what I'd be willing to pay for it.
They'll be closing the doors June 30. I'll check again in a couple of weeks and see if they've gotten a little more reasonable on it.
