Went to a gun show over in Columbus, GA today. First one in a while. My first surprise was the huge number of people lined up outside to get in. Never seen that before. My next surprise was what ammo costs nowadays. I haven't been able to do a lot of shooting so I haven't been buying. The first vendor I checked had lots of 9x18 on hand and that was a pleasant surprise, but the prices!

Eleven bucks for the cheapest (Brown Bear FMJ) and went up to 23 bucks for Winchester
Metric, which, if I recall, is actually made by Prvi Partisan. The only HPs were Silver Bear. Couldn't find any Hornady or Speer HPs.
Heck, the same vendor had those 5.7x28 rounds @ $20 per 50 rounds. Surely there's more 9x18s around than FNs.
I can break out the turret press but didn't see any jacketed bullets in 9Mak diameter. Anybody know what's the best source for some sort of jacketed or plated bullet suitable for the CZ's polygonal bore?
As to guns, saw 2 Maks, both Russian with the adjustable sights and one was a double-stack, one P64 and several CZs. All the guns ran in the $250- $300 range.
