i am goin to be at the 1500 on friday. i was hoping to end up walking out with about 1000 rounds of 22lr, but after reading lots of other price posts about other gun shows lately i doubt it will happen. they yesterday at the cabelas in hammond they were putting out federal value packs, 525 rounds for $24, so i ended up with two. still going to the 1500, but my focus with be steel or self healing targets, about 100 rounds of hornady critical duty 9mm, a bolt action 22lr (like a marlin xt-22), a pump action short barrel 20 gauge shot gun, and a matte steel finish taurus public defender.
Check out Bobcat Steel. He'll have a booth in the "accessory" building at the 1500 (room to the left when you walk in). Walk in the shot and go directly to the building on the left. He'll be on the wall to the right.
Also, you can check him out on his INGO forum here: Bobcat Steel - INGunOwners
Or his website here: Bobcat Steel | AR500 Steel Targets
I recently picked up one of his AR500 steel "popup" targets and it's great fun!
there is more than one building?? its my first time at the 1500...its also my first time at the indy fair grounds. i thought the show was at the south pavilion, i figured it was just one huge building.
If you're in Zionsville look up 2nd Amendment Arms in Whitestown. It's a small place but Marshall keeps a good selection.
I once watched a Shooting USA profile of CCI and they make 3,000,000 rounds a day of .22, multiply that by Winchester, Remington, Federal that 12.000.000 rounds a day! Not counting the other manufacturers. Hard to believe there there is a shortage of .22's But of course they may be scaling back to make other caliber. But still somebody must be buying a $hi!load of .22's. It does look like thing are lightening up a little. If you have a .17 HMR or a .270 you can still find ammo at most Wally worlds.
Thanks for the tip. I'll call first thing tomorrow.
sorry couldnt help it. my guess is 525 federal packs will be around $60
nope they know the ammo is in hight demand right now, so they use that to their advantage and put more money in their pockets
They were $75 at the Lafayette show.
Everyone has gotta eat.
You guy's are delusional if you think you're going to go to the 1500 and find any deals on ammo.
Keep checking Walmart's, and Gander Mountain. Ammo comes in and goes out just as fast.
Anyone have any idea what 45 ACP & 9 mm will be going for
