Will reloading supplies be at outrageous prices?

 

[MadMan66]

I'll be there. Looking for some supplies for my range trip coming up... Mostly ammo. Hope it's not too ridiculously priced.

 

[mfd111]

Thanks for the information. Will have to stop in

 

[ELMO]

I will have to look for reloading stuff, probably go on Sunday....

 

[Bradsknives]

I'll be there with some blades!!

 

[other dave]

I went last year. Seemed pretty small to me..

What do you consider "small"? This show is CONSISTENTLY 275 - 300 tables.
Couldn't help but notice you've had a lot of 1 liner posts in the last 1/2 hour. At least a dozen.
Don't worry little camper you'll make 50 soon!

 

[Knife Lady]

This building is air conditioned too so at least you will not burn up while looking at your gun and KNIFE needs.

Don't suppose anyone saw (or remembers seeing) any 308 DPMS Mags? I just built a new rifle and need a couple. Price if you recall?

Thanks...trying to decide if worth the 45 min drive up there.

For those of you who went to this today, how was it? We thought about going but decided to wait and see what Ingo said. We'll go tomorrow if it gets some good reviews. Its about an hour away from us and I always have work I can do around here so the trip needs to be worth it.

The magazine guy was there along with other mags from different vendors. I don't want to be negative but if you want ammo hit up gander mountain they are gouging less and still had 22lr today. I found cci primers at a great price and a couple little small random things I wanted now. I didn't pay a lot of attention to guns but did notice a couple decent prices weapons including xds 9/45. Knives were prob priced well along with backpacks and other gear.

What "gauge" are you referring to? 10 gauge, 12 gauge, 16 gauge, 20 gauge, 28 gauge?

 

[whippo]

Edited for the grammar police thank you, and to answer it felt like a 10 gauge

Good to know thanks! My husband is looking for an XDS 45 so we might actually head that way tomorrow

Made the sojourn up to the show today. Was not crowded in the least. I like to go to the smaller shows like this as there may be the odd tidbit that you do not find in Indy or at the local shops. Here are my observations:
1. Ammunition was out of touch with the current day reality;
2. A lot of interesting older long guns;
3. Several tables of handguns that were, at least, fairly priced. Was looking to get the GF out of her Ruger SR40c to something a little thinner. Picked up a Ruger Mark II Target Model in SS for $325 out the door, thought that was good deal.
4. Some projectiles for, what I consider, a good price. I picked up X-treme plated .45 200gr SWC for $50/500 and Indianapolis Star Bullets .357 JHP for $50/500.
5. Not a ton of gear to hang off of guns;
6. No obnoxious smells.
In all, considering the side trip to the LGS and Rural King, dogs love .79c pig ears, it was a good day.

Not a reasonable priced AR charging g handle in the building unfortunately... (only thing I NEEDED) fortunately I found an armful of stuff I didn't need to put a smile on my face. Including a nice fair priced single shot 12ga! Waiting for prices to stabilize a bit more though. Its worth the cover charge to go in!

Went with my wife so she could look at some pistols. Prices seemed just on the high side for almost everything. Nothing was really priced to push me over the edge. Picked up some 9mm for and ok price just because I have some range days planned.

Some ammo prices were far out of reality. Like when one table has 50 rounds of 9mm for $30 and the table next to you is $18.
