Where is the best online site for buying reloading supplies? I have been buying from Midway, and they are O.K, have you guys found any sites that just have kick ass prices? I'm going to make another order soon and thought I would try another site.
 
powdervalleyinc.com has good prices.

I like Natchezss.com because I live close to them and I get whatever I order from them in 2 days or less. They also have great prices.
 
Grafs is my main equipment site and Montana Gold is where I buy my .223, 9mm, and .40 S&W bullets. All three give good value and fast shipping for the price you pay - which is pretty low in itself.
 
I like Grafs also. They are smaller and much more flexible than Midway. I called them last year becasue my son wanted a set of Hornady dies they showed as "out of stock". They included my single set on another Hornady order and got them to me 2 weeks before Christmas.

Although Midway shows lower product prices, their shipping is always higher than Grafs. Grafs has a fixed shipping charge ($4.50 ?), and when you hit a magic sales level they even drop that. So it really becomes worth while if you save up your purchases or go together with a buddy.

And they don't pass along that silly Berry "lead surcharge".
 
I buy all my powder and primers at Graf's because of the C&R discount. If they are out of stock then I go to Powder Valley. I buy bullets where ever I can find a deal.

Do ya'll pay that crappy $20 haz-mat fee? Or do you buy so much that that is not really seen? That fee is pretty significant, when i'm only buying $100 worth of bullets and brass. That's why I havn't bought any primers or powder online.

You don't have to pay hazmat on bullets and brass, only powder and primers. The best thing to do is get together with a few friends and make a max order. If you only buy 5,000 primers and four pounds of powder then it's not worth it. I go in with two friends and we always buy a max order and split hazmat and shipping. It is well worth the hazmat when you are getting primers for $16 per 1,000 and powder for $12 per pound. For a single $20 hazmat fee you can buy 70 pounds ( 50,000 ) of primers, 48 pounds of powder or 48 pounds of powder & primers mixed.
