Because of hazmat and shipping costs, you just can't beat your local gun shop on price.
I'd agree on buying locally, but the local shops are playing the pricing game to the detriment of the buyers.
Last I looked a bit over a week ago, they were still asking $49 per thousand, and even more for shot shell and military rifle primers.
My last order was almost max for a "Hazmat Fee" which brought it down to near $0.50 per "unit" (pound of powder or box/1,000 primers). Powder valley, unlike others, ships from their own warehouse so you don't end up paying separate Hazmat's. Buy from Midway and you get stuck with separate fees on powder and primers even if on same order, regardless. They ship these from their source's warehouse so you can't avoid it.
