Frankly, it would cause me to hesitate, if only momentarily.

When I first started in this hobby, and my ammo came from Big-Box stores, I obsessed about ammo to the point I dreamed about acquiring it. Then I discovered mail-order ammo, and it's not a concern anymore.
One of the mail-order discoveries is 50rd boxes of Federal HST that is half the cost of retail, and not seen in stores.
Throw a few boxes in with a case-lot order of plinking ammo, and it's a reasonable price.
