Cruiseroutfitters and I may be going Sunday at around 9am, not to buy, but to wander around and people watch.
You guys need to take photos of interesting specimens.

I'll be there tomorrow morning mostly to people watch and check out prices. I don't plan on buying anything unless the ammo is fairly easy to get to or there is a good deal on something.

5.45 x 39 was going for double what I paid last year. I only found it in 2160rd cases. They wanted 550.00 for that. At that price, I may shoot til I run out, then sell the AK. I can't blame the vendors, but the price gouging sucks.

One table had the 5.45 for $450 per 2160, seemed like a good price nowadays.
It seemed this was the exact same show as the last one with less inventory (same vendors, same left over inventory, etc). If you bought ammo from the big ammo suppliers, it seemed like it was a fair deal (250 rounds of 223 for $500) but you had to wait in line for a couple hours is what I was being told by guys that had just made it through. If you bought ammo from the smaller booths, you got screwed (I saw crappy steel cased 223 for over $1 a round). Every thing else seemed over priced as well (no name stocks for $99, I can buy a magpul stock for less than that). If you missed it, don't feel too bad

BVAC ammo had no line whatsoever by around 11:30 so I picked up some ammo. They did mark up the last few cases of 9mm from 260 to 300.

It's 150 dollars MORE per case than I paid last year, and that was just at Gunnies. No special deals.

I am hoping that you just switched the numbers around..... because 2 bucks a round does not seem like a fair deal to me.
Yeah I did, it was $.50 a round for 223, still not a great price, but better than average right now.

sigh of releive by me. I thought I was going to have to start selling some of my supply for that price.
