I'm kinda new to the area and was wondering where is the best place to buy ammo...I'm looking for .22, .243, 30-06, .45ACP, 12 gauge, and 5.56mm/.223

I heard Washington State has monthly gun shows in Puyallup and Monroe, but you're not allowed to purchase guns or ammunition unless you are a member of the gun show. Is this true? How do the ammo prices at these gun shows compare to retail stores?

I wish "Sam's Club" and "Costco" sold ammo/guns :love:

I'm in the Bothell/Mill Creek/Snohomish area. If anyone would like to "car-pool" for an ammo run let me know. I don't pay Washington State Sales Tax, and I often receive a military/law enforcement discount as well.

The Puyallup gun show has good prices on bulk ammo. And you're in luck, there's one this weekend!

what do you mean you got burned?

did you guys buy reloaded ammo?

Nothing wrong with good quality reloads.
However, the prices at gun shows are still high in comparison to many stores, especially Walmart prices. They probably paid way too much for what they got. I walked around for a while at the last gun show and saw price differences in ammo and components up to 100%. (saw some primers for $30 and another table was selling the same primers for $60)

Make sure you shop around and know local and online+shipping pricing before you go to the gun show. Don't forget to include admission in the price of your purchases if you're not a member.

visited the Monroe gun show this weekend... I couldn't believe the prices on guns and ammo. I took a quick walk around and left in a hurry. Seen much better prices at retail stores. Had some nice WWII stuff though :)
