Help decide what to stock for reloading supplies


Recommended Posts

So I may be able to help decide what supplies for reloading are ordered for a gun shop in the Athens area. What would you guys in the area like to see on the shelves? What should be avoided? Only want to order what will sell. Don't want stuff that will sit on shelves and collect dust.

 

Please reply only if you are in the general area. We might be able to get exactly what we want and need with a little time.

 

Thanks!!!

Make your business model comparable to what I can buy off the internet.  You might have an advantage about haz fees, and carry powders that are hard to find. 

 

Now of you prey upon the misinformed, so be it.  But for us that research and scour the net for deals, and you want to snare customers like us, just be comparable to what we find.  You will have to have a niche.

I'm just starting myself and found Powder Valley to have descent prices but like everywhere else is hard to find specific powder but I did find some for what I need(website isn't the best organized for searching but hey...). I also found once fired military brass for super low price but not a big selection at Brass Bombers. I also found Petco has crushed walnuts on sale(free shipping code with google search) for today only but dunno if that end at midnight or not...

So does anyone reload shotgun? I do but if I'm in the minority then there is no point in just stocking for me. 

 

What about reloading equipment? Dies? Collets? Shell Holders? Tumbler medium? 

 

Keep it coming guys, I would like to kinda get a head count.

I plan on getting a shotgun but not for a couple months or so and I'll look into relaoding them also. I'm on a budget so I do a ton of research for prices but also make sure it's quality equipment for safety reasons ofc. Being on a budget, Paypal has a new thing where they don't charge your account for like two weeks after you order something so I ordered $200 worth of supplies from ebay. I'm not great at saving but if I have a bill coming, I am good at keeping the monies for that, same with layaway.

 

  I went with the Lee pro 1000. I know it's finicky but I feel comfortable with all the tweaking vids I watched to get this to run smoothly. I'm also doing this as hobby first and hopefully more firepower(ammo) second. I know I win't save money but pretty sure I'll get to shoot more. I'm starting with  Makarov, .380  and maybe luger(I can get 50rnd boxes for $10 atm).  

 

These are the additions and are best bang for buck(no pun intended).

Caliper: 6" IP54 3-Way Reading 0-6" Digital Caliper, 100-333-8, iGaging

Scale:American Weigh 100g x 0.01g Digital Digital Scale

Tumbler: Frankford Arsenal Quick-n-Ez Case Tumbler

extra turret, dies and plates for specific caliber.

Boolet puller

Lee Cutter with Ball Grip 

LEE 90667 * CASE COLLATOR for PRO 1000

I think there's other stuff I need/want but this is some of it for starters
