    If I go, Titegroup and/or Win231 or similar pistol powders. I'm desperate and I know I'm going to pay dearly if I can find it. As much as I hate to feed the scalpers, I've held off well over a year but haven't been able to restock and my supplies are GONE.

    Also would be looking for other reloading stuff. Bullets, brass, the like if I can get a good deal. I've been able to order those parts of the cartridge without issue, so if the price is cheaper than ordering w/ shipping on a baggie of lead chunks, I'm in. Strangely enough, I'm starting to run low on brass. 2-3 years ago I bought 12,000 once fired mixed handgun brass. Sorted, cleaned, sold, loaded, shot, lost, gifted, and broke more than half of them already. So, if by some strange chance someone is selling a plastic drum of range brass for $200 again, I'll bite.

    But mostly, I need powder. Badly.

    If I make it and if for a reasonable price, an M&P 9 (Full size) C.O.R.E..... However, haven't seen one in any stores lately so not getting my hopes up.

    Free parking and $5.00 admission. Otherwise, count me out!

    My fiance works at Q95 and she gets me free tickets, i usually get a bunch and hand them out before i get to the entrance, maybe you will get lucky and see me handing them out

    I'll be looking for reloading components as well. It looks like I'll be in good company on that search based on some of the other posters.

    If I go it will probably be Sunday morning. I'll probably be trying to find some 6.5mm projectiles, some small rifle primers and a case trimmer.

    IF I go it will be the first time in almost 3 years. I will just be browsing mostly. Maybe pick up a Dewey cleaning rod for my .17HMR and a new bore light. I fully expect it to be crowded, but I guess the crowds are what they are.

    If I go...looking for a 11-87 premier 12 game w/ enhanced engraving and maybe a good 938 leather/kydex holster... like a crossbreed. Maybe ammo, but doubt ammo pans out, never does.

    My list is all over the map. I'll be looking for a deal on IMR 4895, a Lee .308 collet die, MREs, a rifle scabbard, and Froglube. If the price is right, I'd love to pick up a Ruger 10/22 Takedown as well. Like always, I'd never turn down a good deal on 9mm,.45, .223, or .308 brass.

    Bulk .223, 9mm, and shotgun shells. Match grade .308. Glock 34 and mossberg 930 SP with pistol grip. To much stuff lol

    Bradis has Federal XM193 and XM855 in good quantity right now. 9mm, 00Buck & pheasant as well. Save a lot & buy from them.

    Match grade .308? At today's prices, I say build your own or find a friend who will build it for you...

    I'm still going to the 1500 but mostly to look for curio type stuff.

    Do you know the price? I've found that bradis has ammo in stock, but it's not at a great price. Usually .223/5.56 is at least $0.55 per round. Don't get me wrong, they've got some good prices around the store. However, ammo usually isnt one of them.
