GF and I went to the Cross roads of the West gun show at the Orange County fairgrounds today.
A nice drive from Pomona, about 30 minutes, parking 7 bucks 16 each to get in.
Nicer show than Ontario and small crowds at the supply booths, lots of ammo for sale and most powders.
Powder was 24.95 a pound primers the same per 1K so not to bad, the bad news was 13 cents a round for 22LR ammo which is what every "dealer" was asking as well as a few sandbagers that were working out of duffle bags and back packs.
Pretty sure these are the guys who hang around wal mart at 5:30 AM to snag every round that comes in!
Sure wish I thought that was funny.
Nice displays of about everything, went because the next show will be Thanksgiving and I'll be out of town so I won't attend another show until Jan or Feb 2015.
Up shot of this show was a nice CH 3 station H press, with both universal shell holders and a CH push button powder measure, asking price was 120 he took my offer of 100 if I carried the heavy thing out the door, which I did!
I got a set of the Lee snap in shell holders and each die set come with one of course so I shouldn't have any trouble setting this up for 223 in the morning!
Need to call CH4D Monday and see what the want for a bushing set for the powder measure, however I think I did good on the press and measure deal!
