I went to the shoot several years ago and just made room reservations for the shoot in April. Did any of you happen to price live ammo, components, and powder specifically for 223 and 30/06? It was dirt cheap when I went 6 years or so ago. I bought 1000 30 cal ap for around $60 or so. I saw where someone was wanting $160 for a 1000 ap now. Anybody happen to see the price on 1919 parts kits? Was Randy Weaver at the last shoot? He was there when I went trying to sell books or something. Thanks in advance.

I wish I could say that I remember the specific prices, but it was my first time and there was a lot of stuff to see and do..and my memory kinda fails me 
I do recall seeing some quantities of Federal XM193 and Wolf .223 at what seemed to be somewhat below normal market pricing. I didn't see very many 1919 kits, but there were a few. I think one dealer was making a point out of selling kits that had matching parts, or something along those lines that raised the price up a fair bit. I want to say that the "normal" parts kits were running around $350, and the "special" ones were around $450, but it's been a month and I just happened to glance at it in passing.
Don't recall seeing much in the way of pulled 30.06 bullets, but it's quite possible I just missed them. Several dealers had pulled .50 BMG projectiles in cans, and there may have been some 30.06, but I can't recall seeing any large quantities of it. Don't know about Randy Weaver either.
Sorry that I couldn't be of more help

Give the guys at Hi-Tech a call (they have a regular ad in SGN) and they can bring you just about anything you want in the way of surplus powder/projs...
I try to avoid any table that has white supremacist crap on it. Or standing next to it.
Plus, I'll go bitch at people who I _know_ in the range house about it. We don't need that crap.
Bogie hateses the nazis, he does...

Bogie, I'm on your side also. However, I am sympathetic to him for what the government did to him and his family. I saw the tv movie about Ruby Ridge. The scene where his lawyer first meets him, he pretty well tells Randy that he is a scumbag, but his rights were violated and he was going to defend him. I had a guy hand me a flyer about white supremacy crap when I was at the shoot. If I had known that was what the pamphlet was about, I'd have thrown it back at him. I've always heard that the feds like to hang out there undercover and I wonder if that was the case with the guy handing out the flyers. We all know the feds aren't above fishing expeditions. There was also a guy with a booth outside of the main building that was selling pretty much nothing but Saturday night specials for dirt cheap. I mentioned something to the guy at the booth about I wouldn't mind buying one of the jennings or whatever it was but I wasn't a Kentucky resident and he insinuated that he would sell me one anyway. I figured it was a fed and moved on.

Odd...
I didn't see any overt white supremicists (although there were many people there who could perhaps be taken as potentially being such). Where was the booth with the Saturday night specials? There was a row of vendors near the entrance, wrapping around to the back, that had some cheap parts kits and lots of ammo (and two M2HB vendors) and such, but I didn't see anything that seemed like a SNS specialty vendor? What side of the building was it on?

I also didn't see anyone selling Jennings/etc., type stuff... And I was an exhibitor, and in and out all day long...
I'm thinking it was 99 or 00 when I was there because I remember seeing Bush campaign signs and I know Clinton was still in. The sns's were in a tent, not in the building. There was a trailer or something where you could get your guns parkerized and other tents or booths on the opposite side of the range shop building from the firing line. The sns's were in that row. I was walking down to the lower range when the guy handed my the supremacist paper.
You can't predict what you'll find at KC from one year to the next. Prices are generally good, but you've got to shop. Heck, one year I handed out shopping lists to several ammo dealers to bid on the whole lot and guys from home that were set up there made the best deal.

Not that you asked, but I didn't see any nazis (for sale or otherwise) there last month at the MG shoot. I didn't price ammo in bulk, but as I came in I noticed that about every fourth person leaving had a case of ammo on his shoulder. I can only assume that they thought it was a good deal.

I saw one Nazi. He was walking with a fellow who looked like he was from the 82nd. Had a really nice Mauser.
Oh. You're not talking about the historical reenactors... Never mind...
