Any recommendations other than Midway to buy powder from?

They are really popular and their prices are pretty good too.

do they give an FFL 03 discount?

No but Graf&Sons will. I have been buying from Graf's and getting some great deals. Magtech primers for $16 per 1,000. I know a couple of guys that have used a lot of Magtech primers and like them so we went in and bought a bunch. If you don't get a FFL 03 discount then PV and Graf's are about the same. Both places will ship powder and primers together for one hazmat fee, Midway won't.

Even with the C&R discount at Midway or Grafs, Powder Valley's prices on average are the same. I've been placing all my bulk 48lb orders with PV.

I usually order from PV, but decided to try Graf's this time. They're OK except that powder/primer orders require a signature at delivery. Not a problem for some, but a real pain in the butt for me. Next time I order it'll be from PV.

I second powdervalley, especially if you need to buy both primers and powder. MidwayUSA will hit you with two hazmat charges, because they ship primers and powder from two different locations. Powdervalley will ship both for a single hazmat fee (subject to a total weight limitation).

powder valley doesn't have an FFL 03 discount, but there prices are probably cheaper than the discount you get from other places.

My favorite, titegroup, is 12.50 per pound there right now.

I like Midway and give them most of my business; I also try to buy powder and primers from my local shop(s) but when everyone was out of Federal Large Pistol primers I found Widener's - they were great to deal with, shipped very rapidly and their prices were quite reasonable.

Got 5000 Wolf LP primers for $89 which helped offset the $20 hazmat shipping fee.

They did require that I fax them a copy of my driver's license to prove my age but that was the only "catch" - when I had an FFL I had to fax copies of that to anyone I bought from so I considered that just good business practice.

Every dealer online seems to get cleared out with the exception of powdervalley. Check them out. Prices are very good and they don't require a signature when they deliver.

You aren't kidding, below dealer cost! Nice find!

You aren't kidding, below dealer cost! Nice find!I assume you mean "dealer cost" at MidwayUSA. While I've more than paid for my C&R license fees from what I've saved getting "dealer cost" at MidwayUSA, what passes for "dealer cost" there is nothing even close to "wholesale."

Powder Valley.

I do a lot of business with Midway but buy powder and primes from Powder Valley because of the above mentioned single Hasmat fee. As long as you order enough to spread the $20 fee across many items you are good-to-go. Last time I ordered I bought 8 boxes of primers (8000) and 6 1lb cans of powder. When you can add less than $1.50 to each item it makes buying online OK. If you buy only several items the fee pushes the price per item over that of Retail stores.

Love Powder Valley. Great prices, great service. Oh yea, they pack stuff very well.

No, I don't mean MidwayUSA. I don't do alot of business with MidwayUSA. Not that there's a problem with them but there are a host of distributors out there.

Midway just jumped in price on pretty-near everything for their September flyer. I'm debating whether to continue to do business with them on anything.

They do have good service, and have a lot of stuff that you can't get anywhere else as easily, but I'd rather get it for cheaper by looking around a bit first.

Powder valley, for some reason, hasn't jumped in price yet. Seems like they're in this cocoon of huge amounts of stuff so they don't have to worry about raising prices. For example, their lead bullets are CHEAP right now.

I also live near enough to Powder Valley that I can drive there on a weekend and do so in carpool fashion with at least one other fella, so gas is cheaper than shipping.
