Where to get components reasonably

[ah1g]

Anyone know of a good source for components? Just getting back into it and am low on just about everything. I have about 5000 milsup brass and a couple thousand FMJ bullets but need just about everything else.

A few places for powder. Gibrass.com, Patsreloading.com. They'll both charge hazmat but it seems like you'll need a bit and the hazmat is per container. If you want mainstream powders, Graf and Widener comes to mind. But your best bet for new powders might just be your local gunshop. My favorite store runs specials all the time and quite often come close to internet prices. Too, they have a bargain section. ANYTHING opened or not that they buy is marked down to include primers in the 5000 round box.
I hope you haven't been out of it for too long- else sticker prices might buckle your knees.

I have not loaded since I moved from the PRK back in 93. In that time I have been to TN, TX, OK and finally here in Ark. Anyway during those times I did not do any. I still have some primers and the cases and bullets but I fertilized the lawn with what powder I had left. I will hit the local show when they have it again and see what they are asking. I have checked online and yeah the costs have gone up. But then so has milsup and everything else.

Unless you are planning on buying powder and primers in bulk, the hazmat will eat up any savings that you get from buying online.

We occasionally get a group order together and get a couple of cases of primers each, or a keg or two of powder, but if you are only buying four or five pounds of powder or a couple thousand primers, you are going to get by just as cheaply finding someone local who is reasonable on their markup, or hitting a gunshow.

I stocked up on pistol powder and primers in bulk, but I've not broken down and spent the $400 or so at one whack that it takes to make ordering rifle supplies worthwhile in bulk.

I just buy a pound or two of powder and a few hundred primers at a time. If you do that every week for a couple of months, you have quite a stock going.

Graff and Son is about the best place to order on the net.
But you want at least 5 lbs to cover the haz mat fee.
