Cabelas powder and primers

[KY DAN]

Just a heads up for all you cabelas credit card holders with reward club points build up.

Cabelas has primers and powder in stock.

I bought the following

500 star line 10mm cases
2 pounds winchester 231
2 pounds IMR 4895

I had to pay haz mat, still not bad for what I got considering the points I earned were through paying my monthly bills with the cabelas card.

Hope this helps

I noticed a month or so ago they re-started selling primers online.

And I noticed they resumed ship to store. I use that to avoid hazmat & shipping but pay high gas prices drive 30 miles one way instead.

If you ship to store at least you know it's there.... some of us drive an hour now to find out. Memphis had 4 places in a 15 mile radius but I'm happy in south Georgia out of the war zone.

Sweet deal! Congratulations!

I like rewards points. It's how I paid for my Colt SAA several years ago.

The real key to making rewards points work is to use a suitable credit card and never carry a balance (live within your means). Quite often, I'll pay my CC bill in full every payday, or even whenever I get home after buying something on the card. It's as easy as logging onto Navy Federal Credit Union and transferring money from checking to the card. Easy-peasy, keeps the interest payments to a minimum.

When you literally run tens of thousands through a card annually this way, it has the potential to rack up some serious points.

I saw that ship to store feature as well, I absolutely agree if one can pick up in store to do just thst.

Bowling Green ky is the closest on to me and it's a hour of driving. Not bad but with my schedule it makes for a very difficult planned trip.

I am just happy I got to use my points for something I needed as the last viable use of my points was January 2020 when shortly later cabelas stopped selling powder and primers

From my estate, Cabalas is 20 miles and Sportsman's Warehouse is 20 miles in the other direction, so if i'm looking for something like powder etc. i call first to see if they have it.

I normally buy reloading components with my points. Last time I was there the powder prices seemed way too high. I didn't do the math, but so much so I think I could have saved money paying the hazmat fee.

So I got a pair of new Soloman boots instead. I did buy some bullets though, but they were pretty expensive as well.

Yep just got back from Cabelas with 2 lbs of CFE223, 1 lb of H4350 and another of IMR4350. They do have primers but at $79+ per 1,000….

There are 2 Cabela's an hour from home. Work was an hour drive and one of these Cabela's was only 15 minutes from work and I stopped in there on the way to work there for years. They never had any primers or powder. I retired this spring and decided to visit the second Cabela's a few weeks ago for the first time. Hundreds of pounds of powder and hundreds of boxes of primers. Cabela's is pretty good about showing what they do or do not have on hand on their website so I am not making the 2 hour round trip for nothing.

I was in the Cabela’s in Hamburg and primers on the shelf were still 89$ for Win SP, but they did have a very large stock of powders. True, you don’t have to pay hazmat but I’m still hoping for primer prices a bit lower.
