Where do you buy your reloading supplies?


Recommended Posts

The heavier set gent can be alright to deal with. The taller guy though shows his ass on a regular basis. I've also been lectured by the guy who works the reloading section at Outpost Armory. I just keep my mouth shut, nod like an idiot, pickup my marbles and go home.

The people at North Georgia Reloading are pretty nice.  If you have a liberal side to you at all you will get offended. I don’t, but I have put on a face mask after entering the front door and could kind of feel the criticism.  They still made me feel welcome though.

I have bought materials from them before but their prices can be hit or miss. I completely understand though with it being a small business.  They have not marked their prices up to gouge and I really appreciate that.
 

Today they did have large magnum pistol primers and large match pistol primers. They were between $31 and $36 per 1k.  As far as loaded ammo there was about 3k rounds of 40s&w and some 20 round boxes of 44spl and 44mag.  All was reasonably priced.

I met the guy at Outpost the other day.  I was looking for a RCBS small primer stem and sleeve. I picked up a used RCBS single stage for cheap and described it as aluminum. He was quick to say it was not aluminum and RCBS only made cast.  I was honest and said I didn’t know they ever made aluminum ones until I found this one. Ok, whatever. I find a picture on RBCS’ website of the press and the part I needed. Well, wouldn’t you know, RCBS said the press was aluminum.  I appreciate that he can acknowledge he was wrong. I start talking about my old press as being a turret press. He tries to say I have a progressive press.  After I tell him grandpa bought it in the 60s and taught me to reload 30 years ago he kind of realized I was not new to the hobby.

It looks like this thread has been inactive for  couple of months. I'm looking for a reasonably local store that keeps a good stock of reloading supplies. I get over toward Knoxville occasionally, but mostly I stay to the Crossville-Harriman area. I made several stops in Crossville last week looking for slow powder (H1000) with no luck, but I did find a five pound jug of Trailboss, which I like. Not a single primer in any of the three shops I stopped at.

Reloader's Bench has had powder off and on. Bought both BLC-2 and H110 there recently. They had 8lb jugs in limited quantity as well as 1lb. 

I have purchased small and large pistol at Sportsman's Warehouse for regular retail prices. Missed out on the small rifle they had by a hour or less. They also had some magnum (small pistol) but no match/benchrest rifle. 

Projectiles are getting easier to find but still hit or miss.

Mainly miss. Haven't reloaded in a few years, prime sources back then were Montana Gold and Berry's....neither has stock.

I bought Berry's 9mm at Reloader's Bench a few weeks ago. They had a decent qty on the shelf but not pre 2020 quantities. They had Berry's 30 caliber rifle as well the day I bought the 9mm but I don't remember the weight.

Thanks....not been there before but they aren't too far drive-wise. I only need bullets (for awhile).
Wonder if they have a weekly shipment "day"? I'll give them a call sometime this week.

I am new here so please excuse me if I mistakenly ask some dumb questions. I've literally stopped buying ammo for the last 10 years. Are gun shows reliable and do people have any issues with reloads nowadays? What can I expect to pay as a fair price (not what I'd like to pay but a current fair market price) for reloads of:

5.56 -

40 Cal -

22 cal -

9mm -

First of all welcome @Gomer2000.

Good question for these challenging times. I, personally, haven't purchased any ammo for a few years and my reloading components were purchased several years back.

Ammo at current market value and sometimes a bit below is sold periodically in our classified sections.

Best of luck to you as things have certainly changed in the past 10 years. 🙂

 

fwiw I only shoot my handloads (reloads).

I haven't bought squat in the past year or so. It'll show back up before long. As I've been reloading when the weather is bad, I would like to replenish my stock, but I've loaded enough ammo to shoot for a loooooooooong time.

Well way late but from what I've seen powder is available but more expensive than pre-2020. Projectiles seem to be about the same. Primers are almost non-existent and you'll pay dearly for them if you find them.

If you're finding the projectiles you need than you doing well. I'm finding stuff, but not in the quantity I need. I did find some Berger 200.20X for a buddy last week. Try finding 2k Speer 2022.
