Title: Washington Sportsmen's Show for ammo?
Post by: note2self 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?

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.
