Calgary Gun Show

Post by RanchRoper » Sat Mar 24, 2018 8:34 pm

Next Friday heading up to Calgary for the biggest gun show in Canada. At the Stampede grounds in a huge building. Should be good, I have not been to it before. On the hunt for some ammo deals....

as you are looking, it might pay to also consider loading your own .... doing so for us allows us to shoot more and to shoot more often

with your winters, loading your ammo for the warmer months could be a fun thing

And lots of other advantages. I have been reloading for so long I forgot what it's like to buy any!

Good Luck RR. I hope you find some. Ammo deals at gun shows here in the states are few and far between and the price to get into the shows anymore isnt worth it to me. Havent been to one in a long time.

Argh!...forecast for 4 days of snow so might not make the 2.5 hr trek to the city. Can easily turn into a 5 hr drive in whiteouts. Not fun.

It's a G rated forum so actual cowboy talk was avoided.
