Bob B. sent a link to a NOAA web page that calculates updated map magnetic declinations [1]. If your topographic maps are more than two years old, then you should check! (In my region, the magnetic declination has changed about 6 degrees, since 1950.)

One of the members of my local shooting club recently received a large order from the cleverly-named vendor United Nations Ammunition [2], in Arizona. He was very happy with his order, summing it up: “Great ammo and competitive prices, with fast shipping and quite friendly service.” My friend bought the linked USGI .308 ammunition cataloged as: “7.62×51 (.308) Wood Crate. Contains 800 rounds, 4 / 30 cal cans, Each can has 2 boxes of 100 rds ea, in a box and a bandoleer in M13 links. It is 4&1, That means there is 4 rounds of M80 Ball 147 Grain and then 1 Round of M62 Tracer. This in Brand New 2012 production and yes Boxer Primed. The Best there is. Good ‘Ol US Lake City.”
