Without regard to prices, shipping charges etc, who has the best website layout of the various reloading cyber stores?

In my opinion Midway wins the gold medal. Fast, easy to use, great search functions, always up and running.

The worst layout has to be Natchez. I buy a lot of stuff from them because of price and selection, but navigating their site is a royal chore. They don't group items by usage, but by manufacturer and product line. You could spend two hours comparing price and availability of 30 caliber bullets (it takes two minutes on MidwayUSA).

I also buy a lot from Shooters Pro Shop in spite of them having the worst site on the web. Their old website was down as much as up. The site had all kinds of HTML errors and ordering was never easy. Their "new and improved" of over one month in the making is still a joke. They could find a more capable webmaster enrolled at virtually any high school in America.

Other opinions?

Have to agree with you about the ease of use of the Midway site. No other site comes close. Graf's, Midsouth, etc. are all exellent to do business with, but navigating and using their information is not nearly as easy.

What is particularly nifty about Midway is that I can put items into the "Cart" that I definitely will order, and others in a "Wish List" that I will keep there as I comparison shop before moving to the cart. Keeps everything very organized as I "build" an order over a period of a few weeks.

I have been using Midsouth as of late. The prices are about 5% lower than Midway. I use Huntington's sometimes for hard to find Big bore stuff.

Try Gunstop Reloading Supply in Excelsior, MN.
John there is a total joy to deal with.

Forrest, do you have SPS new site address? I need some Nosler 2nds.
thanks

I had midsouth, natchez,midway send me catalogs. Its easyer than useing the computer to shop.
I get cabelas catalogs too. Im suprised cabelas recently has lower prices on bullets , brass etc than others ,Scopes are the same price or cheaper.
Cabelas catologs are great for comparing scopes they have the eye relief,weight,length etc etc,

Cabelas has better deals on bullets than most of the on-line stores.

I just bought to boxes of Accubonds for 14.99 each, I haven't seen them that low anywhere.

Their other bullets were less as well.

Good Luck!

Sinclair international is the best supplier of reloading equipment and they have the most knowledgeable staff. I do not buy from anyone else until it comes to bullets then I buy from cabelas for price reasons.

BES, what are you buying from MS that is cheaper than MW? The thing that i have in my cart, MW beats MS every time. I keep seeing folks talk about MS's low prices, but I guess I am buying the wrong stuff, cuz MW has everything I have bought cheaper than MS, except maybe one or two items. And I try to buy 5-10 items at a time, to save on shipping.

Just curious,

I like working with:

Gunstop of Excelsior MN
Grafs
Lock Stock of Valentine NE
Natchezss

For good prices, but limited supply, try: www.wholesalehunter.com

F6 Hawk,
my last order was for Barnes .510 300 grain and 450 grain bullets, 470 Capstick Brass and Woodleigh .475 500 grainers. some of the items were in stock, some "special order" -- in this case Midsouth came back with the better prices. I generally run my order on both websites and buy from the less expensive one. Midsouth has been less expensive the last 4 times I have ordered.
