Hey guys, I just bought a Dillon 550b and am looking around for powder, primers, and bullets, and am not seeing any worthwhile pricewise.
All the places to order from in the lower 48 will cost an arm and a leg to get up here. Looking to reload .45 and .223. Any advice? What do you guys do? |

wideners will ship in the USPS flat rate box, huge savings on shipping on brass/bullets-especially the bullets. I will only buy from dealer who do the same.
powder/primers are better to order through a group buy and split shipping, or just buy in bulk. last way is buy when your down in the 48 and ship to yourself. |

Damn near impossible to legally ship primers as a non business with special haz mat certification |

I guess the last time I bought it changed

Dear FBX Arfcomers...
Some food for thought, I am sure some of you read in GD about how Sportsmans is having some heavy-duty business/logistics issues. As far as I could tell (which isnt say too too much) Sportsmans was THE spot in town for components. Are there any stores that I am over looking? I think I remember seeing some stuff for sale at the sports store at Ft. WW. If Sportsmans goes tits up, or continues its craptacular trend of having nothing in stock....would any of you be interesting in doing group buys? I know group buys can be a sticky situation but I would like to keep it simple. common calibers, mininum order requirements... I am just kicking it around in my head but I would like to know if there would be any interest, and if we could figure out what calibers we could all agree on. |

A normal joe blow can ship powder, primed brass or loaded ammo, but no primers (atleast not legally) |

there is a reloading guy/company down on the pen- I would contact him and see if you can get a order in with him/or see if he has extras someone will remember the name-because i cant right now Ammoman is on the pennisula. He does commercial reloading. Robert Wiseman I think is his name. I have a card and email for him at work. |

The Wasilla and Anchorage stores are having the same issues. Shelves are bare and no one can say when the trucks will be here. It's getting a little frustrating. |
