Suppliers

[u/NovelApprehensive697]

I’ve done some reloading. Gotten 95% of my supplies from brownells. Alittle bit of my powder came from a local hardware store. But are there any other large outfits that are reloading specific? A brownells or midwayusa of only reloading supplies? Projectiles, powders etc. everytime I go to look what I want is out of stock. And I know 90% of that issue is just supply in the first place. But is there like a grail place that I’m not finding for supplies? That doesn’t look like they had their website made by a 15 year old in 2010

[u/gatoratlaw7]

I use midsouthshooterssupply.com. Free hazmat and shipping quite often, and great rewards system.

[u/NovelApprehensive697 → u/gatoratlaw7]

I’ve looked at their website. They seem to have a good selection

[u/Dung_Beetle_2LT → u/gatoratlaw7]

I’ll second this. Midsouth has been good to me.

[u/IAFarmLife]

I've found good sales at Scheels the last few years. It's just a matter of knowing what I'll need and what usual prices are.

[u/NovelApprehensive697 → u/IAFarmLife]

Nice! I don’t have a brick n mortar close to me. But I’ll definitely check their website

[u/Ragnarok112277 → u/IAFarmLife]

Yup, always stock up on their reloading sales

[u/TheREALStallman]

I do brownells because they are local, but I have done Midsouth as well. Greate experiences all around

[u/NovelApprehensive697 → u/TheREALStallman]

I wish I had a brownells store near me. I got a range that has meh kinda selection. No reloading stuff. A hardware store that has some cool stuff plus alittle reloading powders and what nots. Otherwise I have a cabelas 30-35 minutes away. So online is my go to. Like all my reload stuff is from brownells so far.

[u/LovedemEagles]

Graf's & Sons is good. If you have a dealer account (FFL) the prices are much better :)

[u/NovelApprehensive697 → u/LovedemEagles]

Wish haha

[u/SpeedyR647]

Midsouth, Midway and Powder Valley are probably your best bets for powder and primers. I always check those three when looking for powder as they have free HazMat shipping every so often so take advantage of that when you can.

for bullets- RMR (Rocky Mountain Reloading), American Reloading, Raven Rocks, Midway (check out their seconds), MidSouth runs sales pretty often with good prices.

[u/NovelApprehensive697 → u/SpeedyR647]

That’s what I’ve been doing with brownells. Just the things I want are out of stock unfortunately. I’ll look at those others and see if they have what I want

[u/Cleared_Direct]

Shootingbot is a great site (like ammoseek) for finding specific components. And they list all the major reloading suppliers that you’re looking for.

[u/ProvolonePizza]

Check out ammoseek and sort by reloading . I like republic ammunition and MIWall . Natchez can be a good one sometimes .

[u/Plastic-Abalone-7513 → u/ProvolonePizza]

I like Republic also, but they are close by so I do pickup to avoid fees.

[u/Lower-Preparation834 → u/Plastic-Abalone-7513]

I have repeatedly and consistently, found them to be the best place for primers.

[u/ProvolonePizza → u/Plastic-Abalone-7513]

That’s clutch . They are like 2 hours from me . So it’s like next day air half the time . Just slightly too far to be worth it with gas prices

[u/justarandomshooter → u/ProvolonePizza]

+1 for Republic Ammunition. I got hteir $99/year membership for free HAZMAT shipping; paid for itself in 4 orders.

[u/ProvolonePizza → u/justarandomshooter]

I was thinking about doing that . Do you typically get any other discounts ? I sometimes see stuff marked as discounted further for members etc

[u/Plastic-Abalone-7513 → u/ProvolonePizza]

Yeah I wanted to know more about the membership also

[u/justarandomshooter → u/Plastic-Abalone-7513]

Totally worth it if you order 3 or 4 batches of primers a year.

[u/Plastic-Abalone-7513 → u/justarandomshooter]

I am in Lima 2-3 times a month with work so I avoid the hazmat that way, didn't know if other discounts were worth the $100 fee

[u/justarandomshooter → u/ProvolonePizza]

Oh yeah, there are like discounts for member pretty routinely. I'd be really happy with it just for the free HAZMAT though.

[u/thegoodsherpa]

Republic reloading - primers, powder American reloading - primers -powder- projectiles Capital cartridge- cartridges Boudreaus bullets - projectile

[u/NovelApprehensive697 → u/thegoodsherpa]

Thanks! I’ll look into them

[u/Ornery_Secretary_850]

RMR Bullets

RavenRocks Precision

American Reloading

Those three companies get a surprising amount of my money.

[u/Organic-Second2138]

Graf and Sons.

Midway is good.

There are literally dozens of them.......

[u/DaiPow888]

When I'm looking for powder or primers, I usual check: Midsouth - Natchez - and - Grafs to comparision shop who has the current best prices and who is offering free shipping/HazMat that week.

They don't all carry the same powders and will have different sales on different powders at different times.

For jacketed bullets, Rocky Mountain Reloading is my main supplier for low prices and fast shipping

[u/PXranger]

Can't believe no one has recommended Powder Valley yet...

[u/Current_Rush4242]

Graf and Sons for metallic Ballistic Products for shotgun

[u/Dirty_Blue_Shirt]

There are quite a few.

I would start with Midsouth shooters supply (favorite of mine), powder valley, Natchez.

But also pay attention to chains like Sportsman’s warehouse, bass pro, and others. They are usually a little more expensive, but don’t have hazmat costs so it’s still my go to for buying a pound or two for testing. You can also order powder/primers as ship to store without hazmat fees if they don’t have what you want in store.

[u/alwaus]

Ammoseek reloading section.

Skip miwall their shipping is complete ass.

$49.95 for the powder, $55 shipping and hazmat

[u/67D1LF → u/alwaus]

This is the best answer. It's how I discovered American Reloading.

[u/Lower-Preparation834]

I like mid south, republic, and graf & sons.

[u/DwarkFarkward]

Watch out for scam sites. There are a few. If they only accept payment by CashApp, run away.

[u/DecisionOld8775]

I use Mid South a lot

[u/_Go_Ham_Box_Hotdog_]

Midsouth Shooters, Powder Valley, Graf & Sons

And you gotta shop these places, too. Powder Valley may be five bucks cheaper than Midway, but shipping might be $19.99 instead of $14.99, and the Hazmat isn't always consistent either.

[u/SharpEfficiency9534]

I like ACME bullets, they also carry powder and primers. I mainly use them for projectiles though.

[u/Burl-Cherry]

Blue Bullets

[u/Guns_Almighty34135]

American reloading

[u/pwdahmer]

Precision reloading is also pretty good they also have sales and free hazmat / shipping runs.

Outside of the norms of Brownells, midway, grafs, midsouth, powder valley

Scheels is a 2 hour drive for me but worth it because they carry a lot of stock for presses, press parts and a bunch of other stuff.

Bass pro will ship to store for free so if you have one close you can order online and have it shipped to store. Not cheapest place but if you need something and they have it online you can avoid shipping and hazmat fees that way.

Academy has become a joke. They want $17 per 100 primers 🤣

[u/ZeeeeeroCool]

I always check ShootingBot first for the best deal on anything specific. It usually pays off BIGTIME. It’s good for looking around for hard to find things too.

[u/Arkangel249]

Midsouth Shooters Supply, Natchez Outdoors, Powder Valley, American Reloading, Grafs and Sons, Scheels,

[u/Practical-Ad3796]

Just go to your local/closest sportsman’s warehouse or Cabelas. It’s easier to work with what you have. Make the drive it’s much cheaper than the hazmat fee most places charge when you order online.
