    So they finally had the show after a year of cancellations. There was one giant booth with tons of ammo and reloading stuff. I picked up 8 lbs of retumbo and 8 pounds of us869. The retumbo was 1 lbers at 40 a pop. The us869 they had in an 8 pounder for 290. Primers 160 for a 1000. The mom and pop guys wanted 200 for a 1000. No limit on how much you can buy. It was packed. Not a ton of firearms but loads of booths selling carriers with plate armor. A carrier with ar500 front back and sides 400 bucks. The line for ammo was 300 people long. For reloading stuff separate line maybe 5 people long.

    Oh and I asked the big booth guy where he got the primers and he said directly from the manufacturer and that he was told the prices were about to go up more.
