So the ammo that I buy at Wal-Mart, with the exact same packaging, part number, bar code, weight, velocity, etc, etc etc, as the ammo at Cabela's or Academy or the LGS, is somehow supplied to Wal-Mart with a different spec than everyone else?
That must REALLY create some head-aches in the manufacturing, packaging, and shipping departments at the ammo companies!
I'm an engineer at a major manufacturer, and trying to keep things straight even with a different part number on EVERYTHING is impossible!
