jethroBest reloading supply websites
Other than the standard Midway and Sinclair websites, do you guys have any favorite reloading supply websites that you would like to share with us? I'm always looking for better deals on reloading components, as I'm sure many others are as well. Customer service is also a big factor for me. I'm sure everyone can benefit from this string.

<t_bob38>I'd like to know that too. Around here (NE Washington state), I just generally to one of the White Elephant stores in Spokane. Their prices are usually equal to or better than wholesalers.

Cabela's
Dillon Precision
Creedmore Sports
E.A. Brown

Savage99I am using Grafs and have dropped Midway due to their charging freight for backorders. Midway still haunts me with email however and I am not happy about it.

MoosfaCurrently have two items from Graf & Sons that were "available in stock" when I ordered supplies and became backordered when I got the parcel and I was charged for them to boot. Still waiting for an explanation or the items!

AntietamgwJethro,
You might try TNT Reloading.
http://www.tntreloading.com/We sometimes call them and place an order to pick up at the York or Harrisburg,Pa show. Saves on shipping. Good folks too.

Gonzo FreakPowerI've been looking at:
http://www.cheaperthandirt.comThey have a ton of supplies and their phone people have been very helpful. If anyone has more experience with these guys, please share.

stevolots of good ones there- how about wholesale hunter (
www.wholesalehunter.com). I've used them, natchez, and sinclair mostly. Also like lock, stock and barrel-but since I live in Nebraska I get stuck with 7% sales tax.

TwigStay away from Wholesale Hunter. They charge 8 Bucks for each item shipped
and when asked to combine orders they don't bother to honor your request...I have
ordered from them for the last time....

Kyler HamannNobody mentioned D & R Sports Center. The website isn't the easiest to navigate but it's tough to beat the prices and I've always had flawless service from them. And they are still small enough that they answer their email very promptly.

<bigbelly>Yeah,Midway accidently sent me their catalogs,you know,the ones we all got FREE w\no shipping a year or so back,well,before noticing the wrong name on the bill (but my name on the package)I called customer service (in a rage befitting my ex-postal worker status)and got into a long talk about how I could either pay for the mis-sent catalogs,or spend my money and time (money would be refunded later)to send them to the poor person that had ordered them in the first place,they would (not by my choice)bill me for them if I chose to keep them,I was told that I had "admitted"having the catalogs so I "HAD" to use one of the options.here`s how I settled it,I spent my own $2-3 and sent them to the person that "wanted them" and informed midway of same,when asked how I wanted my shipping refunded I informed them "rolled and stuffed up your ass" and at the same time told them to permanently remove me from their customer list,I used them exclusively for over 10 years before this.The bill they sent for the catalogs was for over $12.Sometimes you just need to let the big companies know you`re out there and won`t lie down and eat their shit.still haven`t found a replacement that can supply all my components,but it will come along,and I haven`t been looking real hard.

Hicap30I completely agree that D & R Sports are great to deal with. If you like Redding like I do they seem to stock more and have better prices than alot of others. Ya, Midway sells it cheaper but D&R has it in stock, no 30 day special order.
My T-7 press is sweet!! Got it in 5 days...

GatogordoI was surprised recently when checking prices on some bullets that Cabela's was cheaper than ALL of the other's mentioned above on bullets and some other items. Not promoting Cabela's, I like Lock, Stock and Barrel, Midsouth, and many others, but we all know that Cabela's will lean over backwards to make any screw ups right with the customer. Used to be they were a bit higher on bullets, they seem to have become more competitive. I would certainly give them a look.

waitaminitBruno's
www.brunoshooters.com . I see their ad in PS regularly and the prices are attractive. When I contacted them, they were very friendly and helpful, so I'm going to place an order.
I wonder that you did not mention them - is something wrong that I should know ?
And what about
www.woodchuckden.com ?
