    Have you called Denver Bullet and Ammunition yet?
    I found 9mm for when I went shooting a couple weeks ago at a pretty good price all things considered - a couple bucks cheaper than Wally World 100rnd boxes actually.

    Only negative was that they require case purchase. It was 500rnds for the 9mm. Not sure what the minimum would be for the .223... but its worth calling them I'd suspect.
    ...Verily, this vichyssoise of verbiage veers most verbose, so let me simply add that it's my very good honor to meet you and you may call me V.

    The wait to get into the gun show has made it not worth going. The line of cars trying to get in was parked down the on ramp of the highway last weekend. The line for background check was hours long just to get to the front.

    There is another show on the circuit besides Tanner. It was called Crossroads of the West, but got bought out. They run at the Holiday Inn at I-70 and Chambers and alternate at the Arapahoe County Fairgrounds.

    For the original question, the last I heard was about $380+ for brass cased.

    Yeah, it was crazy. The busiest I've ever seen it.

    check out www.ammunitiontogo.com they normally have good prices.
    Someday someone my kill you with your gun, but they should have to beat you to death with it because its empty.

    We went a few months ago, right after the election, and the same thing.

    I bought a shotgun at Big Five down the street from my house and the background check took two days because of the back-up from the gun show!!

    Yeah it's gotten pretty bad. I think they call in to different offices depending on where you buy. Gander Mtn. took 20min this last weekend even though Tanner was going on at the same time.
