Best way to buy primers/powder

[TennesseeWilliams]

Hey all, my first reloading press will be getting to the house Monday and I'm sourcing up all my supplies to get started. What is the best route to go about getting powder/primers/bullets. Obviously many places online are out of stock and you have to pay the hazmat fees. Are there any good shops around the Indy area or nearby that sell those types of supplies? Thanks for any suggestions.

Profire arms and supply in mars hill. Great people and prices.

Call ahead or start a thread in the Porfire forum to make sure they have what you want before you drive down there.

Awesome. That's cool that they're involved on here. And thanks because that's a good haul for me.

The Indiana Gun Club may be a little closer to you and they sell powder and primers.

Indiana Gun Club :: Indianapolis IN, Guns

They won't have nearly the experience and service you'll get at Profire, and they won't have much of a selection, outside of power and primers. At Profire, you'll also have a lot of bullets and other reloading stuff to choose from.

Gongrats on joing the reloading community. Buy local if you can. Both places are good places to get started. What are you going to load first?

Attebury sells the stuff.

stopped in indiana gun club today and picked up some titegroup and large pistol primers. Staff is obviously geared more for shotguns, but were very helpful and friendly. Also have some sweet wilson combat and ed brown eye candy. I felt great getting out of there with just my reloading stuff!

Gun shows can be a good place to pick up supplies but be aware what it selling for before going. Whether online or looking at shops.

Starting with 45acp and then hopefully doing some 30-06. Also may expand to 9mm, 223, and who know in the future. I'm gathering up some stuf to cast bullets as well. Go big or go home they say.

As has been stated, when starting out, buy locally. If you get into loading large volumes like my son and I do, I find I can save quite a bit buying online. Of course we stock pretty high volumes of Primers, powder and bullets - and cast thousands of handgun bullets as well. We normally buy at least 10K primers Plus 10 to 20 lbs of powder on an order, sometimes more dependent on our inventory, usually a $400 to $500 order. This makes the shipping and hazardous cost low per item. By stocking as much as we do we can choose to order when supplies are good and prices normal. At this time we probably have at least a years supply of most items available to reload all the calibers we use. Probably a couple of years before we would run out of any caliber ammo. Another idea is to go in with a few friends to place one order - We only have 1 friend reloading in our area so doesn't help us much.

Buying on line you should try Powder Valley or Graf & Sons.
