    Any of you guys that went down to the early 1500 show find any good deals on loose bullets for reloading? I would like to go to the march show to pickup a few thousand to save on shipping. Just wondering if anyone picked up any good deals. Thanks guys

    *I* didn't find any great deals on ammo. Online price + Shipping was lower than all I saw at the last 1500. Pretty much the only thing I found a good deal on was Magpul 30rd mags, but those ran out too quickly.

    Sometimes I have seen some reasonably good deals on components, but other times I have been disappointed.

    Recently I picked up a bunch of plated 9mm bullets that were basically the same as online prices. Yeah, I saved the shipping, but I paid $10 or whatever to get in, so that's a wash.

    My bottom line: if you're going to the 1500 anyway, it's worth looking around for deals on bullets or other components and you may find something reasonable. But if you go with a specific expectation of finding a great deal on the exact component you are looking for, you are likely to be disappointed.

    There is always a tall guy there with lots of cast lead bullets. I usually buy the .45 185gr LSWC, I think they are around $35/500.

    He has a sign above his table that says "We Buy Lead".
