Default I went to the gun show today.

First one I'd been to in several years. I forgot how many other gun nuts there were besides me! I as mainly just looking for reloading supplies, and cleaning stuff. I just bought a couple of guns this past month, so I wasn't really looking to buy anymore. But I did notice some great prices there.
I just bought a bunch of .45 acp brass (once fired, $11.50 for 200pcs.), 100 230gr. FMJ bulets for $14.75, some already loaded cartridges of .45 acp 185gr. FMJ (never shot these, and I want to try some before I commit to a bunch), a couple of cans of Ballistol, 1000 Winchster Large Pistol primers, and some bullet boxes. I wish I had bought another box of primers. I didn't dare buy anything else. I had to carry all this nearly 1/2 mile uphill to my truck in a stiff, cold wind (35 degrees with 35 mph gusts).
All in all, it was a good day. I had a great time. I almost forgot how much a gun show can be.

No beef jerky? I haven't been to the local Indy 1500 Gun/Knife show in 10 years or so. I would like to make one this year if time allows. I sort of miss all the stuff they sell there, but I certainly don't miss the crowd.

Yeah, there was a beef jerky table. I LOVE beef jerky, but it doesn't love me.
The salt makes me swell up like a balloon.
There's a lot of junk there, but if you have something your actually looking for, it helps weed out the BS. I had cash and could have bought another gun, but that wasn't on my agenda. Though I'm all about buying another gun. I brought cash just in case I ran across that deal you just can't pass up.

I've been to two gun shows in my area and both were more of a flea market for old rifles,parts and knives...I envy you guys that go to gun shows that actually sell guns!
