Gun Show

Any good upcoming gun shows close to LA or SFV? I am looking to buy some cheap plinking ammo such as good quality reloads. Is it worth the drive, parking, and entrance? If not what are my best options?
Thanks for all the input.

Thanks for the reply. Would you happen to know if it is worth all time and expense or am I better off buying online or locally? If so where?

Very few deals at any of the gun shows lately. 22lr is on sale every week or two at cabelas. Been getting it regularly for 22-35 per 500 shipped. Watch the deals and coupons here and ammo sales for the calibers you shoot.

Totally not worth it these days. The price of admission is the cost of a box of 9mm at Walmart.

Thanks guys. I didn't want to ruin my whole day and come back empty handed.

I went to the last two shows in Orange County. There are some deals, but you have to look. There are some vendors selling ammo at outrages prices. At the same time, with a little patience, and knowing what you're looking for, there are some good deals. I got a very solid deal on 500 9mm reloads.
.22lr is still the Holy Grail, a few of the smaller guys had a box, but it was tough to find.
I've had good luck with Cabela's and sportsmanguide on line. I still like to go to the show, you never know what you'll find.
