How great to have such a well stocked local shop.   We have a fairly nice hobby shop in Louisville and when I need to buy brass  they are usually only about 1/2 stocked and tell me that K&S is changing their packaging and recent orders have been out of stock.     It's not worth the 30 minute drive to find you can't get what you want.   I can go online to Hobbylinc and get the same product in a couple days, in the old packaging and no excuses or out of stocks.
