I ended up buying quite a bit more than the requested 100 rounds yesterday. I got a case of .38Spl for my Windicator and the Ruger, some .380ACP for my Sig, and several different types of .308 for the Remington. It came to 1470 rounds total. I also bought a bunch of cleaning supplies and accessories, like this "maintenance center" (scroll down to the RMC-1). I was impressed by how sturdy it was, despite being made of plastic. It also can be used as a shooting rest.
My coworker, who went with me to Cheaper Than Dirt, ended up buying 2600 rounds (one case of .38Spl, one case of 7.62x39, a brick of .22LR, and a couple of boxes of .45ACP).
I was looking forward to trying out my new rifle, but it appears that the rifle tube at Bass Pro is booked up for today and tomorrow and the only open slots for Friday are in the afternoon, which interferes with work¹. Oh well, I guess I'll have to wait until Saturday or Sunday. In the mean time, I'll take the Windicator to the range tomorrow and report back on its performance.
¹ That's been one of my pet peeves about range time. There's an outdoor range not far from here, but it is only open from 9:00am to 6:00pm (or when it gets dark). Their fees are pretty reasonable, but they just don't fit my work schedule during the week. Bass Pro isn't as convenient for me in terms of distance (it's in Grapevine), but their hours are better (so I can go after work). I'd go more on weekends, but I usually have some other activities planned during that time. Oh well, if that's my only problem, then I haven't got much to complain about :) .
