I went to the Ft Myers show today, powders were roughly 27.99-29.99 per lb. I got a couple pounds of TAC and a couple pounds of Reloader-15. There are still a lot of powders missing, but they at least had a lot of what they did have, and other then people getting there early to get the good stuff before it was gone, there was no panic. They also had 11 boxes of CCI #41 for $34 per 1k, of which I took 9. The rest of the primers were about 29-30 per 1k.
Still very little .22 available, other then 1 vendor, who was selling Remington golden bullets for $45 for 525. Everyone else that had any was trying to get 12-15 cents each. Even the same vendor was selling his CCI .22 for .15 each, the deal was only on the Remington. .223 was fully in stock everywhere, and roughly .35-.60 each, depending on mfg. and weight. Rifles were well stocked, one local assembler also had a large number of .300 blk uppers in stock. For the first time since the panic, I saw .308 Pmags, one vendor selling for $30, then another for $25. After buying so many primers and powder, I was tempted to offer him the last $49 I had for 2 of them, but I held off, and on the next aisle over, I found a third vendor selling them for $20 each. Saved myself $9 
All in all, not a bad show. I haven't been since the disappointing local one back in January, one which virtually no one who sells any reloading components show up at. I have to drive to shows an hour away to get anything. I almost forgot, I wasn't able to get a picture as I was driving, but just off the I-75 exit on the way to the civic center, there were two guys who had spray painted a sign and put it out on the road, selling guns out of the back of their truck. I was surprised at first, but then I remembered I was in Lee County.
