Fixing to get back into reloading after a number of years. Where can I get the best prices on equipment??

Tony,

It depends on what equipment it is.

You could try your local gun shows, mail order, garage sales just about any place. Some good used equipment has been purchased this way.

In mail order, you have Midway (sale items), D&R Sports, Wideners, Grafs and Sons etc. for tools and components. Then you have surplus powder and component guys like Jeff Bartlett.

Do shop around and compare prices and consider shipping costs as well.

Ahem, forgot to mention the guy that owns this website for bullets also. :biggrin:


Regards


:cool:

When all is said and done, it is hard to beat Midway's great combination of quick turnaround times and no shipping charges. Furthermore, unlike some other mailorder companies that will remain nameless, they do not play the "Well it's out of stock right now, would you like the item that costs twice as much instead?" routine.
Midway is a longtime backer of the NRA as well. I like 'em a lot.

You all owe it to yourself to take a look at Midsouth Shooter's Supply.

No they don't have an online catalog, although you can order online if you have a catalog and know the product numbers you want.   They don't advertise much and their catalog, while comprehensive isn't flashy.   What they do deliver is all of the loading equipment and components you could possibly need, outdoors gear galore, and prices that beat nearly everyone in the business!  If looking for loading manuals and other shooting related books, their prices are about 40% less than Midway!

I've been doing business with them for over ten years, and never had a single problem.   They are prompt in shipping and have great customer service.

Do check them out!

God Bless,

Marshall

Along with Midsouth Shooters Supply(yes Marshall excellent book prices) and Midway I have found some good deals at Lock Stock and Barrel also. *Just like everything be sure to shop around. *I have found some items even with shipping included still cheaper than those with free shipping.

Have a good one...

Welcome back! My first suggestion is that you contact the BATF and obtain a Curios & Relics Firearm License. This will get you discounts with many, many equipment suppliers. Second, contact Graf & Sons in Mexico, MO 800-444-9360. Their prices are better than Midways. They don't pay the frreight but it's still cheaper this way. I am a reformed Midway customer myself------------------------------------------------> Bob

CLARK, THANKS FOR THE DIRECTORY ASSISTANCE, WOW, NICE JOB.     JIM.

You might want to try Hunters Sport shop.  He bought out Badgers Shooters Supply Lyman inventory. and has been selling it at a real decent price.
