I need to start reloading some ammo if I'm going to shoot much.  I have presses, but I need mostly bullets and eventually other stuff.  Is there a store in western WA that has decent prices on reloading supplies?

Forget sportsmans whorehouse, they are out of everything including; Bullets in 308 or 224, almost every powder and the only primers I saw were a few for small pistol and shotgun.

Get carbide dies for the 45 at least. Saves a lot of time.

I used to get goodies at Sportco in Fife... Of course, that's been a few years - are they still in business?

All that and then there is no web page.  Just a bunch of "web miners".

Yes, in a needlessly flippant way.  It did lead me to this fascinating treatis though: Tinfoil Central
I especially like how they refer to the "rifle that killed ten people".  BTW, MACE_Hardware did not post this message, his laptop posted it.

OK, I seem to be a bit bitchy today so I'll try to address the OP questions.

If I need reloading supplies right now I'll try Sky Valley Traders in Monroe or Sam's Gun Shop in Everett.  Neither has very good prices but they are local.  If I am price shopping and willing to wait (in other words I anticipated my needs) I shop online at Widners, Midway USA, or Natchez Shooters Supply.

The mail order places have a "hazardous material" surcharge from UPS that they pass on to you for orders of primers or powder.  I try to order all my powder and primers at once to help amortize the haz mat charge over a larger shipment.  It makes sense to get together with your buddies to order together to get the weight of your order up to reduce the "per pound" amount of the haz mat fee.

it may have seemed to you but because I know the way there without having their address committed to memory that method is exactly how I found the information to pass on.

MACE_Hardware is dead on to watching out for the $20 HazMat shipping surcharge for powder and/or primers, when you are price shopping local vs the internet.

Another source I use online is PowderValleyInc

I've been getting most of my stuff at Welcher's.  64th & Pacific, Tacoma.

Great folks, great prices.  They have the Montana Gold bullets that I so love.  Good variety of powders and primers too.
