Will have to check to see when they are gonna have 'em down there.. But I will let ya know. I might even come down to a show in N Colorado..Not to do it..but to buy at it. I like to buy at big shows.

Now for a report on this weekend. Not a great show. Course money IS tight BUT the people who were at this show didn't want guns. They wanted ammo..and reloading components. I had some eye candy on my table(22 ammo) and everybody who asked the price I told 'em they didn't want to know. I priced a brick at 50 bucks and was hoping they wouldn't sell...but unfortunately they did. I sold my 40M of primers the first afternoon. And a new in box Dillon 550. I didn't put a high nuff price on it I guess. Sold a bunch of bullet moulds and a buch of dies. Sold a bit of powder that I really didn't want to sell. But ya gotta have stuff on the tables. I bought 12 cans of old Hodgdon WWII surplus 4895..I got it for less than 9 bucks a can..It cost 60 cents a lb originally LOL!! I was carrying it to my table and a guy asked me how much I wanted for it. He made an offer of 15 bucks a can..so I sold 10 to him. Kept 2 just for me. It loads in sooo many different calibers..including 223. No brainer. The boys were bringin everything out of the back rooms for this show. For the most part they sold it too. Saw Hi-Vel #2 and Hi-Vel #3. It hasn't been made since the 40's Even saw a bunch of Hodgdon H240. Not certain but I think it was the WWII ball powder made for the 30 carbine.. I sold a lot of littles and a couple of hunting rifles..including my own 338 Win Mag. Guess I have to get another now..Let's make it a Kimber. I bought over a 1000 bucks worth though..presses dies ammo and all Gotta stop buying all that crap though..Guys..if ya can find it..buy some more reloading stuff.. It ain't lookin good.
