Gun Show
Went to local gun show today.
Cheapest .22 LR $10.99/100 rounds, most expensive? 250 "VALUE PACK" $35
The "powder guys" (2 of them, different booths) must have had breakfast together.
Cheapest powder on their tables (none under/behind tables) was $36/lb
(not VV powder either), no 4 or 8 pounders, (except 50 bmg powder) all brands of powder in both booths were the exact same price!
Only good thing I noticed, after the 2 hours I was there, they seemed to have all their powder still on display.
All used guns (that I looked at) were a wapping $50 to $75 less than current model price, the new guns were at or above full msrp.
It's what happens when you live only 150 miles away from "oil boom country"
Only thing I picked up was a brick of 1000 Winchester small pistol magnum primers. $28/1000, just the one brick left. If you include entry fee ($5) I got them for $2 less than LGS.
Powder guys primers, std primers $35/brick, magnum primers $38/brick.
Same sellers talking to the same regulars, hard to get sellers attention unless no-one else talking to them, time to realize no deals to be had at the local gun show.
End of rant
I'm really glad THR has the "Where are the reloading components" thread, I've gotten great deals there if I'm fast enough
