Down in FL for a month. Am pleased to find a friend who will sell me a flat of shells for $85, all up

You were lucky to find shells for $85 a flat. I was at LL Beans in Freeport this past Sunday and have not see as much ammunition in one place in two years. Tons of cases and individual boxes of about anything you can imagine, including some 2.5" RST's in lead. But the prices were out of sight. The RST's were $65 a box, and the flats went from $165 to $248 per case. Run of the mill individual boxes were around $25 to $35 per box.
