Gun Shows

Gun shows are usually the best place to buy reloading supplies.

Powder and primers, for instance are almost always available at very reasonable prices, usually lower than what high-end "boutique" gun salons charge. And, there's no Haz Mat fee to be paid on shipping.

Even at pretty small gunshows dealers are offering bullets from several manufacturers, brass of nearly every currently manufactured caliber, dies and even used loading presses.

If you look around at the shows you can find some really good bargains (not so on guns themselves) for reloading equipment and supplies. The best part is that you have instant possession and no shipping fees to be paid.
 
I have found that I like Graf & Sons primarily because of their shipping cost. One price no matter what you buy (excepting haz-mat fees for powder, primers and loaded rounds). A lot of places have great prices, but the shipping can strip away the savings. I have also found Graf's people friendly, knowledgable and helpful to talk with.
I usually just buy my primers and powder at Gander Mtn.
Just my $.02 :D
Happy Holidays to all!
 
I usually buy primers and powders at gunshows, it is worth the price of admission to avoid hazmat fees. Bullets and brass? If I can get a good deal at a gunshow, I will buy there. Otherwise, I will order from Widners, Midway, Midsouth, or any other bulk bullet dealer with good prices and reasonable shipping.
 
Midway USA gets most of my reloading dollars anymore, basically due to pricing. If you have a C&R ffl, you get dealer pricing. I can't find lower pricing anywhere else on the items I buy.

Brassman is great, and I found out he lives right down the road from me so I just met him and got my brass. Good guy! :)
 
I buy mostly from Midsouth and MidwayUSA. Cabelas carries a surprising amount of reloading stuff, and their prices on some things are pretty darn competitive.

As others have said, gibrass.com has decent prices on surplus powder and bullets. Also check out Wideners for milsurp powder (8 lbs. of BL(C)-2 for $49 is a darn good deal!).

T&T Reloading has very good prices on cast bullets.

I used to spend $2k/year at Midway, but when they started charging a min, a flat rate, and shipping, I have not spent a penny there since.

I buy cast bullets from the manufacturor; Big Sky, Bear Tooth, National, etc.

I get some stuff from Ebay [I hate that place, but sometimes it is the only way]

I used to get a couple packages a week, but now I am trying to just use what I have and live with a small shipment once a month.
