Best Mail Order Stores for Reload Components?
Give me your recommendations on Mail Order houses for buying brass, bullets, etc., Burris Signature rings, and good dies for the .222 Rem.

Thanks,Doug

Doug,

Midsouth should always be checked for price and availability. Their website can be a bit confusing, but over time you'll get used to it... Probably my facvourite site for general reloading supplies.

Lock Stock & Barrel - another good supplier, who will stock items Midsouth does not, albeit at somewhat higher prices.

Sinclair International is the ultimate supplier of everything to do with precision shooting.

Grafs gets new arrivals very quickly, has little sold brass made under their own name, and does not charge shipping.


Bruno's usually has best prices on a lot of precision shooting stuff, including Lapua brass and Jewell triggers... Bruno's primarily caters to the accuracy crowd (BR etc).

There are obviously many, many more, but these are some of the best, IMHO.

Depends on what you consider "best".

To me, "best" means that the items I want are in stock and are delivered in quick time, with no back orders.

To some, "best" means the cheapest prices.

I get around 98% of my stuff from Graf's. They always have what I want, will send me the same lot number on components, and have never made an error on anything I ordered. Plus they ship the next business day and have the most reasonable HazMat program I have seen...up to 60 pounds of primers and powder for $20 (and you can mix brands and types).

If you are looking for "cheapest", you have to shop around because prices change daily...

Western Bullet's web site is dead, has been for a while, so I suspect they're out of business, unfortunately.

I like to use:

Grafs
Midway USA
Midsouth Shooters and one I haven't seen mentioned yet is:
Natchez Shooters Supply
It's usually whoever has it in stock at the cheapest price.

I was told of the new website 4 months ago.
It takes a while to sink in:

I use most of the vendors mentioned by the other posters but usually use Midway USA. However, I browse all of them on a routine basis as they often have one time specials that are real values.

Midway, if they have what I want. I stopped using Grafs when the charged me a restocking fee for returning a faulty item.

I support my local retailers and find that even though their prices might be a bit higher they are still usually cheaper due to postage.

I've used Midway and Sinclair for years and never had a problem.

Midsouth is about 5% less than midway most times. Midway has most of what you will need.


Although cartridge selection is important there is nothing that will substitute for proper first shot placement. Good hunting, "D"
