Since a few posts in the older threads have so many links, I was hoping to trim it down and organize it a bit more here. Depending on how it goes, I may edit and clean up some of the posts later.


May want to consider being a bit more granular on "which" reloading supplies you're asking about, too.

For example, I buy bullets from whoever has the best case-price at the moment, whether that is local gun-shop, direct from Montana Gold, or through an online reseller.... but I *always* buy primers and powder locally, to avoid the cost and complexity of haz-mat shipping on small quantities delivered to home.

Another vote for Powder Valley.

Target Barn: http://www.targetbarn.com/ ...has had Zero bullets when everyone else was out.
Graf & Sons: http://www.grafs.com/ ...has good prices and includes shipping. Often have VV powders when others are out.

Bullets - - - - Either in a bulk order from the lowest bidder to my gun club.... or Target Barn (because I can avoid shipping charges dealing with them)

Powder and primers - - - - As I can find deals... roaming around the country to matches. I have shot a wheel gun for the past year so that makes this a bit more problematic..... given the shortage of Federal primers.

Brass - - - - - Again the wheel gun makes my answer "out side the box" because I have very nearly 100% of the brass that I had in January. Generally I bought it on eBay... but I guess that channel is dead.

For Dillon presses and accessories: BE, best prices, service, and expertise! Not to mention he is fun to talk to about stuff :)

For bullets: Angus at Ghost Products, good prices, super quick service

For powder: Usually Midsouth, but I'd do business with anyone who had VV N105 in stock! Not much luck these days.

<_< I make a point of taking extra cash to larger shoots to buy a keg or sleeve of primers from the vendor that supported the shoot. I like getting my bullets direct form Montana Gold for though one of our local guys for Zeros.
I think it is good to make the table rounds and do what ever I can to demonstrate my thanks for the support the vendors give.

Ditto on Powder Valley - - fast service, great pricing, reasonable shipping and nice people.

I've been buying bullets from Montana, Precision Delta and Zero. Has anyone seen any decent prices on .40 cal FMJ - - everywhere I look they're .10 plus.

+1 for T&T. Tony makes 2 local gun shows in VA and you can call and pre-order and he'll bring it to the show.

And don't forget Sinclair International for rifle. Must haves that you can't get anywhere else, a staff that all shoot precision rifle and outstanding service.

Powder valley for powder and primer and bullets from precision delta. I usually try to get a big enough order together with fellow shooters to offset the shipping and hazmat fees.

Primers and lead bullets I get from local gun shows

Plated or jacketed bullets we try to group buy once a year, usually Berrys

The Gun club group buys shotgun componets and powder prices are pretty good then

I tried ordering primers from T and T via their website. I got an e-mail confirmation for the order. A couple of weeks went by and nothing showed up on the door step and the CC was never charged. I sent three e-mails, tried calling and sent a fax to find the status of the order. Never did hear anything back. Is Tony still in business?

I have been buying from Penn bullets for a number of years (since the mid 90's).

Bullet page: http://www.pennbulle...m/calibers.html
Home Page: http://www.pennbullets.com/index.html

They make a 115 grain SWC-BB bullet that you can order in .355, .356, 357, or 358 diameter and I use a lot in my 9mm pistols.
