The trouble with stores in Alaska's hinterlands as a barometer of availability of things is that you might also see stuff like 303 Savage, 225 Winchester, 30 Remington, or 8mm Rem Mag in one place or another, but that doesn't mean, quite obviously, that they are widely used and available in remote parts. It doesn't help that one or several of these offerings is stacked right next to the only load for the 270 Win.... with a 110 SP bullet. But if the remote village has a 'chain store' like one supplied by ANICA, or Alaska Commercial (especially), then you're more likely to see more standardized ammo offerings... generally in green and yellow boxes.

Sometimes, the air you 'let in'matters less than the air you 'let out'.
