Just one of the reasons I don’t go anymore.
Much better deals at my LGS

Sounds like it's getting 'sporty' again............
Last GS, bout a month ago in West Central Florida picked up a brick of SR primers $70, and a brick of Norma Match-22/$70....
Wally World had 2 boxes of 6.5 Creed for $35/box, local flea market gun and ammo tables had 6.5 for $45/box............ I bought the WW ammo, I needed brass..... I'll make my own.

!!!!!!!! That one had better have had fancy engraving, gold inlay, and a famous person's provenance.

I quit going to the shows years ago because the prices were so ridiculous it wasn't worth the gas money or admittance fees. The old man still goes sometimes. The last one he went to a guy was asking $200/1000 for primers and $60-75# for powder.
It's starting to come back a bit. Short of a little brass, I've been able to scrounge up what I need between online stores and LGS over the past few months. Local Walmart is still short on shotgun ammo, but they've had mixed supplies of 22LR and centerfire rifle again of late.

Not even in these confusing times, the gun show hawkers setting up just to have something to do on the weekend has been a regular for years. The only way they are interested in selling is to a sucker, enough profit to pay for a table for the next 3 shows. It's gone on for years.
Sure, there are some serious sellers there, but ya gotta spend lot of time to get to connect with them. I've been to a hundred shows, maybe 200. Seen good & bad. The bad started out weighing anything worth my time & travel.
One local show here, held about every 3 months. After looking at tables for an isle or 2, it seem the vendors had just covered their tables from the last time, nothing had changed.
Different states may not be this way, but the shows in the 3 states I've been to seem the same.
A really good one like Tulsa, I hope, is better.

Well, they are called "Gun Shows" not "Gun Sales". I read on THR the Wanemacher's Show at Tulsa is worth going to. I help you out. In beautiful, picturesque Missoula Montana there is place called Selway Armonry. You can buy gut stuff on sale there and have it delivered to your door. Recently they had .38+P JHP (lead core bonded to copper jacket) ammo at $1 per round. It is now $1.4 per round. All you need to do is watch for specials and order accordingly. I would do that instead of wasting time in crowds especially if you are nor immunized against Covid-19. Little spacing, no masks can easily turn into serious medical issue and even death.

Not long ago I took a pretty nice 700 BDL in 308 to a show. "How much?," I was asked. $650....damn they near rolled in the floor from cardiac arrest. My retort was you pay 500 for a plastic one and turn up your nose at this...made in the early 90's. Wound up putting GB and getting over a grand. I agree ammo is ridiculous but good clean walnut and steel has gone up.

Slavek knows nothing of American gun shows. I read you can buy the following at many of them: jewelry, knives, surplus military clothing, meat sauces, sunglasses,......

Interesting to hear. The rifle stuff I watch has definitely been coming back to earth.
