Washington Sportsmen's Show for ammo?
« on: January 26, 2016, 03:42:16 PM »
Hey guys,

I'm curious if anyone here has gone to the Washington Sportmens show they hold every year in Puyallup, WA. I'm looking for some 223/22lr/9mm ammo and I'm curious if there are typically any deals here or not. The flyer says there's gonna be some, but I don't know if it's actually worth the trip. Thoughts?

Won't you be paying more for the same ammo this year with the ammo tax? Thank your WA State legislature...

That tax is just in Seattle for now, I believe. The idiots on the hill are trying to get it statewide tho.

Apparently they are cutting the tax and there will be deals on a bunch of different kind of ammo from some store called bi mart. I'll report back tomorrow after I get back.

Figure in the admission cost, not sure you are getting a deal on ammo.  :dunno:

I go every year and have never seen ammo for sale. I've never looked for it, either, though.

  There was a small amount of ammo upstairs at the Bi-Mart booth. Think that was just to bring folks into the area. There was also a guy along the right wall on the way to the blue theater who had what looked like bulk reloads, but I did not stop to see how his pricing was.

The 200 rd boxes of CCI 17 grain A17 ammo for 17 hmr was $51 a box tax included. Pretty good price. They also had some .223 . Can't remember the price. Didn't see the 22 lr but didn't really look.

There was a lot of ammo at the bimart booth on the second floor of the pavilion when I was there Wednesday afternoon.
