I bought a bunch of ammo at the gun show. The dealer told me if I can carry it out it’s not enough.
I spoke with a dealer who told me that on Friday, when the show began, his 10 by 12 foot booth was piled five feet high on three sides with assorted kinds of ammo. When we talked on Sunday, all he had left was a few half cases on his table.
I was at the Crossroads of the West Show in Phoenix this weekend as well. I saw a young man with an arm load of 7.62x39mm. It looked like a sheet (1 plastic wrapped layer) from a case. I guess that was all he could afford.
I saw one older gentleman (early 60's) carrying out on a hand truck: 1x case (880 rds) of 8mm Mauser, 1x case of 7.62x51mm Nato (450 rds), 1x case of 45ACP (1000 rds), and something I could not identify. He'd been at the J&G Sales table I recognized the cans. I'd like to see his gun collection.
A fellow I work with required TWO trips with a hand truck! To quote an instructor of mine: "It's a good start." :)
