To be honest the rows were alot wider this time because they had noticeably taken rows of table out. There were still some empties around. I bet there wasn't but maybe 10 double rows in the whole kit and kaboodle this time. The problem is when they have one of the BIG shows like down at the Astrohall in Houston I can't take the traffic to get there, and the usually won't allow the sale of ammo or reloading supplies in the things. One of my brothers recommended a place in Huntsville Texas called Able's. Powder was about the same price (and availability) or a little higher, and primers were only a dollar or so cheaper per 1000 than the show (and not at all cheaper in a couple of cases). They also didn't have a bullet to speak of in the place. Same goes with brass in both places. What really irked me were the people selling 20+ year old sets of hard used reloading dies at the show for MORE than new dies cost (including shipping) and they were actually selling. Baffles the mind it does.

"The gun has been called the great equalizer, meaning that a small person with a gun is equal to a large person, but it is a great equalizer in another way, too. It insures that the people are the equal of their government whenever that government forgets that it is servant and not master of the governed." - 40th President of the United States Ronald Reagan 1911-2004
