    Gunshow Brass?

    So I've been to crossroads once, and i wasnt in the market for reloading equipment so I didnt really look....but do any vendors offer a good deal on brass? Im assuming so but Im curious if its even worth going to save some cash and go get some on the next show.

    Possibly any vendors you might recommend?

    Brass is one of those things that is hard to get a deal on at the gun show, in my experience. You'll have better luck here on CalGuns or somewhere else online.

    Reloading equipment in general is typically way overpriced. They usually charge more for used than you can buy new.

    Sometimes you can find bullets, but the best thing to pick at the show is powder and primers.

        It would be cool if you could buy brass by the drum.

                www.starlinebrass.com is good.

                When we had that black Monday or whatever that was - I called them and ordered some .50AE and shipping was free - I guess due to Black Monday.

                As others have stated - it is hit 'n miss when it comes to brass. I picked up some once fired (small qty) at one of the San Jose shows for some 7mm Rem Mag - but I think that is the only time I have ever bought brass. It was from these guys in Gilroy:
