I'm gonna have to spend a few days in Des Moines this week for work. Any good gun shops in town (please no places that only have ARs and new stuff to cater to Mall Ninjas)? Pawn shops are cool too. WOn't be able to buy a gun out of state, but always looking for old reloading stuff.

If there's anything else of particular interest, it might be nice to know as well. Our work shop is held on Camp Dodge so I'll be in that part of town.

BP on the east side of town off I80. Can’t help with local shops. Brownells to the east after a little drive for new stuff. I bought several used rifles very reasonable in Iowa Scheels and BP over the years when I lived in NE. No cf rifle deer season then seemed to keep the used market suppressed about 20-30% I felt. Iowa City has a shop that is well know in that area that I can’t recall the name of that is nice. Scheels in IC as well.

Bass Pro is worthless, but I have liked the Scheels stores I've been to.
