I went to a smallish gun show today, shopping for supplies. I found a maybe unfired .22 hornet handi rifle, 375! I wanted it so bad, just did not have the cash. I also found one in 22-250, 30-30 and 7.62x39. They were all in the 350 to 375 range. I also found a 20 ga. and .410 in the same price range. No good buys on powder, did pick up 1000 Wolf primers to try in small pistol and my buddy bought an RIA 22TCM/9mm pistol.

Matt, I was at the Bloomington show today for the first time too. And I saw and wanted the same exact rifle your speaking of haha. I did find some CCI LR primers for $30 which I didn't think was bad, considering my local guy charges $35-40+tax.

That is turning into one of the better shows in the area. Did you see the Savage 30-30 bolt gun? It was just inside the front door against the west wall? I would love one of those for cast bullets, I have a winnie to go with it.

No I didn't see the 30-30 there was a lot to cover. I usually just go to the Princton(sauk trail) show and comparing the two, Bloomington was was probably 3 times as big. Although it was kind of disappointing that not to many venders really had much used/antique/classic stuff or reloading gear at least in my eyes. I must say I like to bargin and dicker, plus I like history, so that lends it self well to older items. I couldn't get over the huge number of knives though.
