I haven't heard any buzz about this show. Anybody going?
 
It's a scheduled C&E show. 10 bucks for admission.
 
I'll be there - need more reloading supplies. Cover 6 Tactical and Blue Collar Reloading are usually there and they have a great selection of powders and primers, etc with fair prices

Is this show worth a 4 hour turnaround trip?

Hard to answer not knowing what you are looking for or if you are in need of something specific.
If you just want to browse and you're time sensitive, I probably wouldn't make the trip. It is the smaller of the Raleigh shows and sometimes the non-gun vendors are plentiful.
However, usually some good reloading suppliers will be there and if you are looking for a specific gun, you may want to check with @knifeman32 to see if he has any.
Don't know if @TSConver will be at this show, be he also may have what you want.

Also, if you want to make a day of it, Triangle Shooting Academy is having some kind of celebration this weekend. That and the show could make for a fun/full day(s).

Hope this helps, feel free to ask questions, I'll share what little I know.

Notice he always says "drop by and see us"...instead of "stop by and talk to us". :D

I actually got to talk with him this morning. About 9:30. As usual, some of the best prices at the show.

Didn't find what I was looking for. The lady at the back, left, corner, almost sold me the Dillon 550C she had. I kept thinking that my Lee Classic Turret is keeping me supplied with ammo, so I was able to resist the calling of the "Blue Spirit". I almost bought another, well used, Marlin 60. Talked myself out of it, too. I left after picking up a few odds and ends. After leaving Raleigh, I stopped by Cabelas and bought a media separator. The one I've been using doesn't have a lid and this separtor does.

I plan on making the S&D show in New Bern tomorrow. Because it's there.

He was neck deep in paperwork and probably had a half-dozen customers waiting in line to take their goodies home.
 
The show was reasonable? I planned to attend today but my plans got messed up. Might try for tomorrow.
 
Show's smaller than Dixie. Pricing was pretty high on handguns other than backwoods bang shop (he was busy but every quote I've ever gotten from him was the best out there... so yes I'm making an assumption)

I didn't buy anything.

What was she wanting for the 550?
