We have a 3 day gun show coming down here to the Lake Ozark area that will be in Osage Beach this coming weekend.  It's one of the few shows that is one of the bigger ones, though nowhere near as big as the RK shows that I used to go to in Kansas City.  I'll probably go check it out and see what is there.

Dang, I missed that one.  Would have been looking at that .44 brass myself too!

Hit a smaller show more close by,   Nothing too spectacular, got a RCBS powder check die, only to find out later it is just for common pistol size reloading, I was thinking it would work for doing bulk .223- oops.  

Also ended up with some minor reloading tools and such.  Just the first show since the newest ban went into effect, it is not looking too good here as a result....

Do you bring a wagon or a hand truck when you go, or do you make many trips to the car?  Nice score again.

I chose to go to the WAC show in Puyallup instead.  Pretty light, really.  Bought a box of Winchester .38 Super for $20 and a pack of 10 tins of #11 percussion caps for $20.  That's it.

Market hall in Dallas used to be like Christmas to me.

Accurate #9 is a good powder for stout .357 Sig loads. Quiet for 300 blackout subsonic loads too.

I envy your AA9 purchase......  I love it in 10mm and 357 magnum.

Hit a small show on Sunday.  Saw a guy with a pile of rifle brass in boxes, at most was just once fired (30-06/308/300WM/270).  I found the seller only wanted $1 a box, and ended up just buying all 25-30 boxes for $20.  Grabbed a can of powder for my dad, a few other small things, and that was it.  

Made an offer on a 3# full bottle of 2230, guy was packing up, guess he wasn’t really really wanting to sell it since he was basing his pricing on as if it was 3 sealed 1# bottles.  Oh well, didn’t really need it.  Just surprising how some folks think their stuff is worth full retail- and how do I know it is really 3# vs 2.5# ?

Another guy had some .45 JHP bullets I was gonna make an offer on for all of them, but he packed up and was gone by 11 AM.  Show goes til 1PM…. Some of these guys must just enjoy lugging stuff to show after show I guess.

My kid hit the show early on and missed a Finnish Nagant rifle by a couple minutes, he was talking to me about it on the phone when someone else bought it.  Lesson learned there I guess, jump on it if it is a good deal and you want it…

You are blessed Dryflash. ???? I went to the last 2 local shows, bunch of overpriced goods. Not much in the way of reloading at all. Everyone trying to rip people off here and when you try to help them nicely and suggest to them they can get it cheaper, they buy it anyway because they think you want it. I’ve just walk now and keep my mouth shut. We all remember the pre 2020 shows that were AWESOME !!!
