Went to our local gun show yesterday, and made some good deals on stuff that I wanted. Wasn't really looking for guns, unless I ran onto something unresistable. Also, didn't want to spend much money before Christmas.
My best score was the old Lyman Mould Master Furnace, which isn't made anymore, but is in great shape. I've already sat down and cast 500 pistol bullets with it.
Aside from that, all I grabbed was some reloading stuff that was nearly free, but still needed. 700 small pistol primers, which are probably 80's vintage, and that antique can of Bullseye Powder which is still sealed up.
My total for the day was only 150 bucks, which the furnace alone would cost. And I'll soon have it paid off by selling plinkers to my buddies.
Had a friend with me, and he burned through about 400 bucks, and got tons of reloading supplies that would have probably cost 6 or 7 hunnert at retail.
I did a lot of socializing (bullshipping), and telling the same old lies that I've been trading with the same old guys for years now.
There was a little excitement towards the end of the day when the cops showed up to bust some guys who were trying to sell some stolen guns. I haven't heard the whole story yet, and can't wait to. jd
