RiflerangerWTK: Where to order powder / primers from
Hi All,
I am new at handloading and finally have all my equipment and dies in place for the calibers I will be loading. My question is:
Where are some of the best places to order powder and primers from pricewise ?
If you would email me directly at Budsewnvac@aol.com I would really appreciate it.
Thanks to all who take the time to let me know.

http://www.midsouthshooterssupply.com/ and Natchez
http://www.natchezss.com/ are both super. Natchez has monthly specials, with pretty good component prices in there sometimes. I've used both, no problems with either.

redialBuy locally if you can. The shipping is always a bitch otherwise and besides, you keep the guy on the corner in business. Cash and carry, no paperwork or credit card trail (for the tin-foil hat crowd

)

LeftoverdjSomething you wanna watch out for is the hazmat charge. It's tacked onto shipping and I think it is $25. No way around it unless you can pickup yourself. The best you can do is order powder in four eight pound jugs. Four is a case and most places with mix powders within a case, at least of one manufacturer. I think one pound cans are mostly 12 to a case and that's an extra $2 a pound, just for the hazmat. 32 pounds brings the cost per pound down around 75 cents.
