Went to the Washington, Pa gun show today. After yesterdays 5 degree morning, it was pouring down on frozen ground this morning, so opted out of muzzle loader deer. As expected, most powder was around $50/ 1 lb can, and the only shotgun primers I found were Fiocchi at $100/ thousand. A guy was asking $30/ box for Federal 28 ga 3/4 oz loads--or 7 boxes for $150 if I took em all. Most cases of 12 ga target loads were $150/case, and single boxes were $20-25 for most gauges. Would like to have found a Mec600 jr in 28 ga. Few Parkers, there was a decent PH 12 Twist barrels, but I wasnt interested.
Glad I didnt need to pay the price---yet.
