Yesterday I made a first-time visit to to a recently opened Academy Sports store. I noticed that this location carries a selection of Lee and RCBS reloading equipment as well as Winchester primers and Hornady bullets (no powder).

Is this a new thing? The other two Academy stores in the area do not stock these items or at least did not the last time I was in either of them.

The ones around here stock primers but no other reloading supplies or equipment.

The prices on most of the stuff was fairly high. A nearby Sportman's Warehouse beats them on most of what they offered.

They have an RCBS rotary media separator for $39 but the box it's in is beat all to hell. I should ask them if they're willing to give me a floor model discount on it provided it's not damaged.

The one nearest to my place just did the whole renovation a month or two ago, now they're carrying bullets, primers, books, presses, and the usual accessories.

They are currently waiting on the safe and certification to stock powder.
