I'm holding out for the Costa Mesa show. I'm wondering how attendance will be for that given that Turner's is doing an event out at Raahauge's that weekend. -
Wasn't aware of that event, might have to check it out! Any word on prices as of late?Comment

I'll be there tomorrow afternoon.

So, prices weren't great, but they weren't bad either. Picked up some Varget at $20/lb at the Miwall booth. The funny thing is the 8lb jugs were going for $165 or $170, I can't remember which. Why on earth would they charge MORE when you buy in bulk?? Also picked up some 55gr FMJ projectiles, $46 for 500. Primers were pretty much all $25/1000 and not much of a break for a full case.
Other than that, it was business as usual...rebuild kits everywhere, overpriced rifles, and assorted useless junk. I did, however, buy an electric fly swatter for $8. Definitely one of my favorite purchases today!Comment

Was driving down the 5 this morning headed to SD with the wife and there were huge lines on 5S and 5N of cars waiting to exit the highway in Del Mar. There must have been something else going on besides the gun show or I'm just not familiar with it ever being that busy or crowded.
Probably not going myself, never been to the show in Del Mar actually even though I just live up the street. I can't be bothered with crowds when I can easily get decent deals online for ammo.

The issuing power should be taken from the banks and restored to the people, to whom it properly belongs."

I believe PMC ammo was running $339 per 1k plus tax plus admission plus gas plus parking. Attitude at Miwall is usually included for free. You are better off having it shipped to your door do the math. Unless you just have to have a bratwurst, beanie babies, beef jerky or Betty boop memorabilia. or like smelling BO from being in close proximity to dirty mofos.
Oh, and don't forget the dream catchers, really the possibilities are endless! Also there was some sort of 5k run event going on at same time which caused traffic pileups and major parking problems.Originally posted by rkt88edmoOriginally posted by NotoriousOriginally posted by Ford8NI have one request, will all the fatties please take a shower and use some deodorant before you go to the show.

Well except for the fact that most online vendors either have nothing to ship, or the price is insane right now..
I'd typically agree on most of stuff there being not much of a deal or crap.. but the last few shows Ive been to have had brass 5.56 way cheaper then any of the online vendors even with tax/door $..
So my question first obviously is there any decent bulk 5.56 and if so how bad are the prices?"Do.. or do not.. there is no try" YodaComment
