Lots of primers at good prices. Powder selection is good but not so if you're looking for 8 gallon cans.

Powder selection wasnt good and averaged $150 per 8#.
Miwall had plenty of primers. All Winchester at $21/1k. A small tear came to my eye.
Bullets were light but they did have 1k of 9mm 124gr RN for $60 and 230gr RN .45 for $95.

This was yesterday, dont know about supply today.

Thanks guys - went today and picked up some IMR-4227 and Winchester WLP primers. Also picked up some .50 cal bullets for the .50 AE. Bought some Hornady .44M and a K-Bar knife.

Turn out was a little lite today - but I think the show was OK.

Picked up some ammo at Miwall, saw a m60 and barrett. Forgot the name of the seller, but its still great to have a gun show in such a liberal city

I also saw the M60 and the Barret. Didn't ask if it was converted to .416 or not. There was also a guy with a parrot on his shoulder and I could barely hide how crazy I was going after I saw him walkin around. IT WAS SO COOL!

Also - JD Machine Tech was there -

Some nice stuff. Had a nice .308 'flat-top' - but the asking price was $4.5K - little out of my price range. Had some nice lowers at a good price also.

It was a cool show. It was my first gun show and was able to pick up good deals on ammos cases, small rifle primers, AR15 carry handle scope mount, scope and some 223 ammo. I didn't find any good deals on the uppers though. I didn't find much for reloading equipment except for some RCBS dies. Was really looking for Redding or Lee stuff. I'm saving up for the next one in November. Pretty good deals on Powders to.

Didn't go to SF but the Vallejo gun shows seem to be a great place to get your Nazi paraphernalia....

Yeah... it's been over a year since I last went to a Cow Palace gun show... but wanted to go to see what was available in powder and avoid the hazmat fee. Unfortunately, by time I got there (10:30 am) the 8lbs Varget was all sold out.
Got a decent deal on the 1 lbs and bought a few goodies for the AR's

All in all, I was pleased to see how many people were there and how many booths were filled. It was a good showing and hopefully a sign that gun shows along the S.F. peninsula are losing interest amongst the people.
Heck, there was even a guy selling cameras this time. Just was concerned with all the photos he seemed to be taking. lol
