I usually drag stuff home from that show.I have not been to the Muncie show in a loooooong time.
Is it usually pretty good?

I used to support it in the 80s. It was OK then. Not a great show but close and good for killing time. Then in the 90s, about a third of the retail dealers quit showing up and Army surplus clothing and private sales stepped in. Saw a lot of WWII guns (including Nazi marked Lugers) at ridiculous prices. Wish I could update you but I now go to the Stout Field show and the Indy 1500. In fact, the Stout Field show is about 5 or 6 bucks and parking is free and right outside the door. 3 of my most recent acquisitions have come from there. Let us know if you go and how it went.I have not been to the Muncie show in a loooooong time.

We always go, the deal of the day was an 8lb'er that had 7 lbs in it of VV N560 for the some of...... Ready $140.00 Haaaa.Just got back. Really nice show. Better than I expected, not having been in a number of years.
Found what I wanted, so what more can u ask from a show?
Unless you were looking for Large Rifle primers. Brian’s Surplus had the only ones from what I could see.Good availability of primers, but I imagine that will change as we head into 2024.
I saw five or six vendors with primers. Brian had the best prices that I saw.Unless you were looking for Large Rifle primers. Brian’s Surplus had the only ones from what I could see.
There was a guy in the middle row who had the CCI "oem" for $75/1000I saw five or six vendors with primers. Brian had the best prices that I saw.
I agree. However, I was specifically referring to Large Rifle primers. While the availability of primers overall has gotten better, there seems to be a persistent shortage of Large Rifle primers.I saw five or six vendors with primers. Brian had the best prices that I saw.
Well I happened to have picked up a 8lb jug of VV N560 with 7 lbs in it of powder for $140.00. Almost bought a Model 41 Smith in 99% in the box with paperwork for $950.00, we decided we don't need another one.$6 entry fee to look at overpriced beat up guns and price-gouged ammo (as much as double elsewhere).
Will you see "price-gouged ammo" there? Sure, you probably will. When you say "(as much as double elsewhere)", that statement is likely correct. Elsewhere is probably at the same show, on a different table.$6 entry fee to look at overpriced beat up guns and price-gouged ammo (as much as double elsewhere).
