Are there any good (discount) sites to source reloading materials. Im about to purchase some Lapua brass and maybe a few lbs of powder. Thought I would check here before I just end up ordering off midway.
Cheers
Ammoseek.com has a reloading section where you can check for these. Just be certain when comparing prices you include the shipping and handling is that can definitely change the cheaper per item distributor to the most expensive distributor overall.
Midway is a good place but typically does not have the best prices at all. Mid-South shooting supplies is a good place so is Natchez. Also Powder Valley
I have used Mid-South, Powder Valley, and Midway USA. In my experience, you have to shop around, which fortunately, is easy online. Midway has a great selection, but unless you hit a sale, I agree, typically not the best prices. I have also used a site called shootingbot.com. You enter what you are looking for and it sends email notifications and link to the site when it becomes available.
A couple of notes. You really have to pay attention to the shipping and Hazmat charge. The sites will sometimes run specials for either free shipping or no Hazmat. Shop then. If you pay full shipping and Hazmat it will likely be more expensive than retail or direct from the vendor. Also, I would recommend checking your local retail stores. I have found their stock is starting to come back. I’ve had good luck finding primers and common powder. I have a Sportsman’s Warehouse in my area and if I can find the item I am looking for on their website, you can also ship to store with no shipping or Hazmat fees.
Hazmat fees ($18-$22) eat you up on small orders like the 1lb powder or just a couple hundred primers. You guys have hit the major online retailers I use. I generally wait for the no Hazmat offers and order 5-8lb jugs and a brick or two of primers. Never hurts to have an extra jug or three in reserve.
I have had good luck finding hard to source brass from https://bayoubrassandammo.com/
