Best Places for Reloading Supplies

BE Mike · 08-05-2008

I've noticed that not a lot of gunshops carry much in the way of reloading supplies. The local BassPro has some supplies, but their prices on things like primers is way out of sight. Is their a gun shop that I don't know about that carries a good selection of reloading supplies at a fair price? Do you all just order online? Do you buy mostly at gun shows?

Nope,yup,sometimes. No local suppliers worth a darn, I buy powder from Powder Valley, and primers there sometimes, sometimes Midway, and sometimes at the 1500 gunshow. Prices are skyrocketing, but so is everthing.......

BE Mike, what area are you shopping in?

I buy primers and powder locally. Sportsman's Warehouse in Lafayette, tends to get most of my money as of late. Lead and other bullets I tend to bulk buy form different sellers through the mail. I do by small quanities at gun stores now and again. I have a bad habit of buying something when I go into a gun store Ilike.

I have never been to a gun show so I've never bought anything at a gun show.

In Indy, Indiana Gun Club has about the best prices on primers and many powders. Sportsman's Warehouse in Lafayette also has good prices on bullets, powder and primers if you don't mind the drive. Sometimes a shopping expedition is fun.

I have occasionally found a good deal on bullets or primers at the little gun stores, but for the most part I like to pick most of my components up at the 1500 gun show or order online from Midway or Powder Valley.

I usually go in with a group of about 6 friends and order online and split the hazmat and the shipping charges. For powder and primers we buy from Powder Valley. For FMJ we buy from Precision Delta ($4.00 discount per 1000 if you order more thatn 10000) and for Lead we buy from Mastercast in Pennslyvania

I'm in Southern Indiana. I've checked out the shops that carry reloading supplies in my area. Reloading components, especially for match rifle, are pretty scarce.

Down By The Tracks is a little gun shop in Galveston that carries a very good selection of reloading components.

Power and primers are bought locally to dodge the hazmat fee.

Everything else is bought through Midway USA on sale or clearance if possible.
