BH..It is truly amazing. There was some 223 Ammo at the gun show..at about a buck a round..No 45 auto..no 9mm. Saw one 440 rd can of 7.62 x54 at twice the cost of 4 months ago. There were very few hunting rifles selling. almost none in fact..saw quite a few handguns sold. Very few ARs were selling but they had inflated prices..and the ones people were bringing in were going back home with them. They thought they were gonna get the big prices the dealers had on 'em..but they weren't selling. There was very little 22 ammo..and it was selling for 50 cents a round.or more. One guy had 400 Round bricks by Remington priced at 5 bucks for a box of 40..equates to 50 bucks for 400 rounds..It was not selling. I truly think the BIG AR thing is over..unless they get legislation going against 'em..AR mags were priced a little lower too...not much but some. Very little shotshell ammo either..Hunting loads I mean but I never see target ammo at gun shows. Too much weight to carry. I take a few cases of 20s and 28s to shows every now and then.. The localWally World got in 12 cases of 22 ammo. Federal i think. normal prices..like 20 bucks a brick..sold out in a little over an hour. Oh and primers. 35 bucks at the show...but saw 'em in a gun shop in Big Timber Mt for..65 bucks a thousand..sheesh. Still lookin for 45 Colt Brass though..none at the show. Guarantee there will be at this weekends..Lotta Cowboy Shooters in that town
