    Any reloading supplies, in particular small pistol primers?
    Yes.
    Brian has several tables of reloading components there and he is not the only reloading vendor there today.
    I just talked to him less than an hour ago.
    Not sure if he had any small pistol primers left, but I know I saw some somewhere in there.

    May have to swing by after lunch (on my way to Linden).

    Small pistol primers $100/1000. Ugh. Oh well.

    I wasn't really seeing anything that grabbed my attention, but YMMV.

    Not especially *crowded*, but a good turnout.

    Did NOT see Kirk Freeman there. What's with that??

    $100/1000? Where did you see any that high? Doug and Bill were both around $80 or $85 for CCI and I have Unis Ginex for less than $75 plus tax. I did not see any small pistol primers as high as you describe, but I did not have time to look around the entire show.

    Kirk Freeman was down in Indy, doing his duty. Wearing the same clothing as everyone else and the same fashionable footwear.

    Big focus at drill was land nav, so . . . I might forever be in Indianapolis.

    Don’t remember the vendor.

    Sorry I didn’t see yours, or I definitely would’ve picked up several 1000.

    Not having to pick out what to wear to work was one of the best things about the military. Hhhhmmm today I think I'll wear the woodland camo pants and matching shirt with the black boots.

    I went yesterday and picked up some 10mm fired brass for a reasonable price.

    Looked at a couple S&W 629s, but they were all priced around $1400 or so. I think one was a 629-6. I see new ones online selling for right around $1000 and just saw a couple used ones go for $750. Anyone know if the asking price of $1400 was in line for those older models? I've heard the quality isn't what it used to be, but not sure hoe much of a premium that commands. If I were to pay $1400 for an older one I'd probably hesitate to shoot it, and if I buy one I want to shoot it, not have it sit in the safe.
