Fleet Farm Carrying Reloading Supplies

[Anmut]

To all my HR buds in the Wisconsin / Iowa / Minnesota areas - Fleet Farm (Mills, not Blaines) now carries reloading supplies!

I went into the local store today and WOW - they have quite a bit. Primers were a bit spendy (3.50 for a box of 100) but powder was all in the $20/pound range. And they had a ton of RCBS and Hornady dies, a wall of bullets, shell holders, presses, etc.

I was pretty impressed - anyone else reporting the same stuff at their local FF?

I heard that about the local FF on Tuesday night, but I haven't checked it out myself yet.

Oh to add, the guy behind the counter said there was going to be more coming as it came in stock. Had my eye on the Hornady Ammo Plant for a Christmas present for myself...

WOW!!! - I hope it gets here too.
The nearest place for me to reloading stuff is 45-50 miles away.

 

[A Pause for the Coz]

That would be awesome!!! We have a new store opening up next Month in Cambridge, MN. Man that would knock off about 40 miles from my powder runs.

Was in my Central ,Mn, FF yesterday-not much for reloading stuff--few primers, no powder or anything else, said they were still waiting on powder, it's been three months.

Yup, saw some primers, Lee, Hornady and RCBS products on the shelves of the Menomonee Falls location last weekend. All at reasonable prices.

Cheaper than Gander and decent selection no powder yet.

 

[mdemetz]

We have a similar place called Big R in central IL and Northern IN that carries reloading supplies.

I like Fleet Farm, none real close though. I'll have to check the next time I go by.

The Fleet Farm in Fergus Falls, MN has started putting things out. They said that they had to get through duck hunting first. Pretty good RCBS selection. Decent with Lee too. Pretty good selection of bullets. Powder and primers are sketchy yet, but I asked for some specific IMR powders and they went to the back and came out with a few pounds.

It's a good start.

Cheaper than Gander <snip>

Lol that sounds like a new retailer? : )

 

[plodder]

This is good news. I have always said "If you can't buy it at Fleet Farm, you don't need it" and this is further proof.

 

[GaryL]

Cool. I've seen a small amount of stuff at the Carver and Brooklyn Park locations, but nothing to get excited about. Would be nice to see some powders reasonably priced.

 

[Anmut]

I picked up a lb of AA5 for $18.99!

 

[PO2Hammer]

I gotta' go check that out in Winona.

 

[rfwobbly]

Geez! How far is Winona from Atlanta ??

 

[PO2Hammer]

Pack a lunch.

ccording to Google Maps

1,024 mi, 15 hours 3 mins
In current traffic: 15 hours 28 mins

I don't think it's worth the drive.
You'd spend just a bit more in gas money, than you'd save on the expendable supplies.

Mills, not Blaines

D'oh!

We only have blaines, not mills around here. You guys are lucky.
