    Im getting into reloading and need sub sonic powders. Im looking for 1680, h110, n110, lil gun, etc. I saw an advertisement for a gunshow in slidell and was wondering if it was worth my time to look there? Thanks!

    No, Gun Shows are hit or miss.

    Call Louisiana Reloading in Baton Rouge weekly until you find what you need. I'm pretty sure I've seen some of that there with semi regularity.

    The last 2 shows I went to had a couple of vendors selling powder. But remember you have to add the cost of admission if they have what you need, usually $8.00. If you have to run around different locations searching, you might spend that much in fuel.

    6 one way , half a dozen the other

    The show in Gonzales at the Lamar-Dixon Center has had a little oriental lady the last couple times with a table full of various powders.

    Gonzales show seems to always have what I need when I get there early.

    Two weeks ago I went to a gunshow in Jackson, MS. probably 250 tables. There was not much in reloading supplies.

    Came home and stopped by a gunshow being held in Ponchatoula the same weekend, maybe 70 tables(?) and two vendors had more reloading stuff than I had seen at the last 3 shows I had been to.

    So it is hit and miss, but if you don't go you may just miss the one thing you have been looking for. That's why I hit them all. I picked up a S&W 586 in Jackson that I have spent nine years looking for.

    Regards,
    Dad
