Gun Show finds
Well the saxet gun show went off without a hitch, I am sure if I had been able to go both days I coulda found some better deals. As it was I picked up 1000 Remmy Small pistol primers from the reloader supply guy that is always at the shows for $39. That is $10 cheaper than ANY shop I have found in Texas so far this year. He also Sold me two 9oz (IE 1 lb cans) cans of Trail boss for $16 a piece, same lot number. I paid $25 each for the last cans I bought at a gander mountain and that had been $3 cheaper than anywhere else I could find at the time. He says that at the Sept show if I call and remind him he can provide me with a 5lb can of Trail boss for $120. I picked up a 250rnd box of hornday 148gr lead hollow base wadcutters for $20. Two guys at a booth paid me $66 for the old military ammo I was packing and trying to trade off. I had gotten it for free when a friend of a friend passed away and his wife wanted it out of the house. IE I came out smelling like a rose.
Not bad at all. Didn't find any super duper deals, but I am happy enough. Gun deals stunk at the show. I mean I didn't see not ONE deal that impressed me enough to look at it more than 30 seconds. I hit a couple more shops in the area on the way out, but reloading bullets for 30-30s, 357/38s, 45lc, and 45-70 were pretty much nowhere to be seen. All in all had a blast. Dad, two of my brothers and 2 good buddies of mine where all there. Just wish we had all had time, inclination, and money to go shoot a couple hours afterwards. Oh well, maybe in September. GoodOlBoy
