Um, the local shop I go to sells 500 round packs of 7.62x39mm in the form of a plastic-wraped slab of 20 round boxes of Wolf. They also carry 1000 round packs, which I assume come in a metal ammo can or something. I buy .22LR in 525 round packs of Remington High-V Golden Bullet HP's at Big 5 Sporting Goods.
I got this (apparently new) variation called the 870 Tactical Magnum. 12gx3", 20" CYL with brass bead sight, three round extender on the tube with clamp, black plastic LE forend and pistolgrip buttstock, sling points on stock and extender clamp, and the barrel, tube, extender and reciever are all parkerized OD green. I think it was about $500 or so out the door. Of course we have this stupid waiting period here in Cali so I don't get to pick it up till a week from Monday.

Transonic,
That explains the ammo, I have never bought Wolf.
Mine either came in 1000 round wooden cases made of plywood (commercial style cases) or 1220 round wooden military cases with the handles on each end and all that.
I have been buying my .22 LR ammo from the CMP lately in 5,000 round cases.
8870 sounds interesting, though I won't start over again now. That is one good thing about the 870, you can just keep tweeking and changing to make whatever you want out of it.
That Cali law stinks. I can take it home the minute it clears NICS here.

Buckshot,
I have been to shoot my 10/22 Ruger carbine a couple of times now. I have only been able to shoot at the indoor range (25 yards is the limit), but I hope to get to Knob Creek and see if I can go out a little further. I also got some snap caps for my Glock 26 and my flinch is slowing going away.

Sapphic,
Good to hear about the snap caps and the flinch going away.
How do you like the 10/22? I don't own one, but most people I know that own them like them, even if they can't keep from messing with them.
25 yards in not a problem with a rifle, just use the smaller 25 yard targets.
I work with a Jr. Smallbore group each Tuesday evening. They shoot at 50 FEET! Of course, each bullseye (there are 10 record and one sighter on the target at 9" X 12") is about the size of a half dollar.
You don't get as much wind doping practice at 50' outside and even less at 25 yards indoors, but you do get the shooting practice.
