Found some 115 gr 9mm bullets for cheap, Dillon 550 bin for $1, Rear bag I've been wanting $5, window P mag, 100 new 357 cases, some ammo boxes.



Added another Lee loader to the collection, and my prize, Hatchers Notebook.

Cover is ragged, inside is fine. never thought I would find a copy. $15, I would have paid more.

Published in 1962, and a chapter on the "new 22 cal military round".

I'm still on my quest to find a copy of Hornady 6, and Nosler 5. Maybe next show.

Primers were down to $25 per k, entry level AR's in the $650 range, stripped lowers $75.

Located a SDB. It was missing the primer catch bin and the loaded round bin. I asked the guy about them.

He said they were an "option". As I walked away I replied "you don't know what you are talking about".

Saw 8 or 10 Mec shotgun presses, all in the $45 to $60 price range, most of then complete.

Had a good time, back home by noon.

looks good,



I want to my first Lakeland show last weekend. About 2 hours away.



Holy cow fair prices on guns, and over a dozen guys with reloading equipment.



I picked up a Dillon powder measure w/powder die and "F" funnel for $35



and a 44 mag case gauge for $5, some cheap lube, and 30" tall ammo cans.



Dave4719 got 4 of the NIW $5 Dillon case gauges, gas checks, luber seizer, Dillon combo wrench,





This was the best show I have ever been to as a reloader/caster.



Tampa, Palmetto, Fort Myers shows really have no note worthy reloading equipment...

That was a good day.

Reaonable prices at gun shows?
Thats an interesting concept.
Maybe some dealers where I live will try that.

There's a gun show today.  I've probably already seen 99% of the stuff that will be there.  The odds of used reloading equipment showing up is no higher than 0.1%.  I may go anyway, I have a Colt Woodsman I would like to peddle.

This has been my experience with shows here that I've attended in my area.

One table I passed had a Redding press, 4 Rockchuckers, couple of Hornady projectors, and an assortment of C frame presses.

Saw maybe 20 used scales, 10 to 15 powder measures, and lots of die sets through out the show.

Plenty of bullets and brass also.

Wow, that's a goldmine compared to what is I've seen here.

From reading the posts of others, I must be lucky to have the best fun show around.

A show every month, 400-500 tables, and about a 40 minute drive. Membership is $30 a year, admission is free with membership.

About 4 dedicated used reloading equipment vender's, and a couple selling new equipment.

Lots of tables that are selling off estates, I look for bargains in tools and bullets.

Couple of good priced ammo guys, about 15 vender's selling everything AR. Parts to complete guns.

The normal amount of over priced guys, but most are there to sell and will deal.

I already spend a bunch of money on my hobby. I can't imagine how deep in the hole I would be if I had a show that close every month.
