What brick and mortar store do you buy reloading supplies from?
Around here there are Academy Sports and Sportsmans Warehouse. Both have had little to nothing lately and SW has gone absolutely crazy on procing powder and jacketed bullets. Academy has 0 jacketed bullets but some powder.

Back when the LGS stocked components,
I was able to walk.
Now they would wheel me in, as some days it
feels like a 1 in front of my two digital age.
Just kidding, except for serious racquetball.
Might try skiing in Colorado soon.

Only BassPro stocks anything as far as I know.
I'll check out the old Revere Range/Shop,
as it has new owners and they said,
Come On Down.... with the 460 Smith.
Got everything there and Tamiami back in the late '70s.
Still have primers, bullets and unfired 458 brass from them.

There is a local gun and pawn shop here that stocks a variety of reloading supplies as well as guns and ammo. This store sponsors a large S&W sale in the spring and a Ruger sale in the fall.

Gary's Pawn and Gun – Think Guns… Think Gary's

Here in the NW, we have BiMart, and they have bullets at pre-shortage prices, and powder for around $35/pound. Good deals
on ammo, too, relatively speaking. I've been stocked for a while now, but I still buy when I see a good deal.

Where I am at there are only two players within a hundred miles. Fin, Feather & Fur (Ashland) and Sportsman's Den in Shelby.

When I am out in the middle of our great nation, I hit every Scheel's that I see!

Here Academy has a little, Cabelas has a lot more, and Scheels has even more, although supply isn’t always there on any given day.

Green Top had a ton of stuff but that was last March. Mackeys Landing Gunstore near Jamesville, NC used to have a lot but nowadays it’s hit or miss.

In North Phoenix, Bruno's is a solid bet. In the south-east valley, Scheel's just opened and are stocked to the hilt. Probably should have kept that to myself.

Scheels, Cabelas, Bass Pro and most of the LGSs carry some inventory. Not easy to find what you want when you want it though so buy it when you see it. Generally I just go to Midway and buy on line when they're doing free shipping and/or discounted prices. Seems no matter where I buy I need to buy it when I see it rather than wait until I need it.

In the OKC area, H&H seems to have the best selection over Academy. I just visited Omaha and walked into my first Scheels, and holy cow, I can't wait for them to come to OKC!

Same LGS I have been buying from for over 50 years, unless they don't have what I want.

Bass Pro, but certainly no deals. 4 LGS's still try to stock components, only 1 is really a player. Fortunately he is not a gouger. Nothing is cheap anymore, but he charges what he has to and no more.

When all else fails, Gunshows, prices are all over the place but sometimes you can find someone selling at a decent price. Power seems to be inline with Cabelas but primers are selling from $80 @ 1000 to $150 @1000. Lot of tables moving old stock bullets to new stuff.

A large majority of S. Carolina gun owners that I have met are “reloadaphobics”. Seriously, bring up the subject and most have never heard of reloading or fear it. Not everybody here is this way, but it’s surprising. Interestingly, the exceptions I know are often fellow members of this forum!
Mostly, people just want cheap 5.56 and 9mm ammo to stuff into their hi-cap magazines.
As a result, even at the best of times, reloading supplies have never been comprehensively available here.
If there is an independently owned LGS these days that stocks anything related to reloading here in SC, I haven’t heard of it. Closest thing might be Redeye Reloading. But, they sell once fired brass, scroungings from estate sales, Shooters World powder and primers from Argentina (I think).
Cabelas occasionally has spotty inventory, as does, (to a lesser degree), Sportsman’s Warehouse. But, their prices have always been outrageous. Palmetto State Armory is basically prepper HQ; the place gives me the creeps.
Other than that, there are a few range-stores and pawn shops. They cater to the newbie crowd.
Gun shows used to be the best bet. Not anymore!

What has happened to the American firearms retail industry????. It’s like Zombie Apocalypse meets Toys-R-Us!

Baton Rouge Louisiana is blessed with Three large Gun Shops , one , Baton Rouge Shooting and Reloading Supply , specificaly caters to reloading components .
But the last time I wanted some new 38 special brass , none of my local dealers had any ... or had much of anything ...That Surprised Me !
Abot 20 miles away is a Cabela's ... they sell reloading supplies and had some new 38 special brass .
I hope Cabela's stays around ... I know Bass Pro bought them and I'm just waiting to see them disappear .
Bass Pro doesn't cater to shooters / reloaders ...all they want you to do is ... " Go Fish " !

Seems like there is a song in there somewhere....

In the Dakota’s and Wyoming, we got quite
few options here. I had to edit out a few
secret hang outs.

Scheels, Fleet Farm, Running’s, Dakota Mart,
Gun Vault LLC, Cabela’s, The Rooster, Gary’s
Gun Shop, Teton River Traders.

Sportsman Warehouse, Murdoch’s, Frontier
Arms, Rocky Mountain, Walmart, Chey-Cast
Bullets.

Good luck and stay safe out there.

A local shotgun range carries a lot of powders and primers for shotgun, pistol and rifle. The prices are very competitive. There are still shortages on a lot of popular shotgun powders. For example, I haven't seen any American Select in a very, very long time. I also haven't seen any Clays. There are some good alternatives, but they are more expensive.

In north Florida, Green Acres, St Nicholas, Nd Shooters are three local shops that have a decent supply of reloading components. Green Acres is proud of their stuff but has a good selection. Shooters has primers and powder, but not much else, and St Nicholas has a bit of everything, but not a lot of anything. Of course if looking for 32 cal handgun bullets, you are buying online.

Zero availability of reloading components in my town. Nearest, maybe, is in Coos Bay, 110 miles north of me. May or may not still be in business. I cast many of my bullets, buy primers and powder only when on sale with "no Hazmat" specials. But I still have plenty of powder, primers and brass and only rarely need to purchase on line. Grew up in "Earthquake Country" (So. CA) and had "be prepared" hammered in my head so when I moved to Oregon, I brought several pounds of powder and thousands of all size primers with me...

All you need is a divorce, dog and a boat...

never get out of the boat

This is a pretty populous place nowadays. We have several big box sports type stores that I never found anything I needed in, Palmetto Armory is probably the biggest but I got used to them not having anything on the shelves. Maybe I should check again.

There's ATP gunshop/range which is nearby, but pretty high on the prices but at least they keep a fair amount of stock so I can buy some stuff there. But nearly all my reloading supplies nowadays come from the web.

I use typically Midway, Midsouth, Natchez, Brownell's, Powder Valley, Graff's.

Looks like there is a new local place called the Ammo Dump I'll have to check out. It's funny, when I go out of town I can drop into a place and walk out with something useful.

Always found them to be fair on pricing.

There's a couple local gun stores that usually have what I need.
Rarely go to Bass Pro. Cabelas is too far away. Sportsman Warehouse on occasion. But I find that all these big corporate stores rarely have good deals on primers or powders.
I've bought most at the gun shows and have often bought at estate auctions to fill my needs. However, the latter source usually take the better part of the day.

We have lots of choices here in Tulsa. I typically go to Jerry's, but I also occasionally buy from Bass Pro Shop, Dongs, Sportsworld, Academy.

Cabela's occasionally, but I'm luck to have a dedicated reloading store less than 5 miles away.

I think our NW Bimart has the best buys, but I have seen during the pandemic the ammo shelves completely bare. Sportsmans Warehouse is now here, but prices are usually high compared to the small stores. Scheels in Reno, Nv. usually has full shelves with a good selection and reasonable prices compared to Cabellas and Sportsmens. I probably do more buying on the web.

The only larger stores that carry reloading supplies are about 90 miles north or south. There are a couple small gun shops with extremely limited supplies within 60 miles. Almost all my supplies are mail ordered.

No chain stores anywhere around me that stock reloading stuff. A couple of small LGS that have some things, best is in Savannah, TN, about 45 minutes away. They usually have a pretty decent selection of powder, although no bargain prices (if there are any of those anymore).

The local Outdoor Range has a Reloaders Store. Nice size place with a good variety of machines, accessories and of course components.

Went in Bass Pro/ Cabela’s in Rock Hill S.C on our trip. Walked out with several bags weighing close to 50 pounds. They had everything I was looking for. Very happy.

I buy most of my supplies off Kings in Pa. They have a range and building another. Shop around on the web and can sometimes save a dime. But I feel suporting your lgs is really important. You don't support them and they go away what do you do then?

Most LGS here are a RIP OFF. There is 1 new one that I have bought reloading stuff from, nice folks and decent prices.

The only store around here I've been able to find powder and primers is Sportsman's Warehouse, and they have kept their prices reasonable, unlike some on-line retailers.

Someone earlier in the thread brought up BiMart which I never thought about. I think I'll check them out soon.

What could possibly go wrong?

I live in the suburbs of Houston, Texas. I am amazed to read that folks can get reloading components from the likes of Academy and Bass Pro. Retailers in Houston keep firearm related stuff off their shelves as they are too near urban violence centers. Walmarts carry no firearms. Carter's Country was my go to source for years, but they suffer from the panic driven shortages we all cope with. I have a small LGS that specializes in reloading components with a side business in used firearms. They are amazing. They even carry black powder, the only source in greater Houston.

None, I have been getting my reloading supplies through estate sales and from a friend that buys estates and keeps the guns and we make a deal on the reloading supplies and equipment. Some of the equipment gets sold on our end and some stays with me.

For now in my area, one chain store - Cabela's. Pre-covid, Bridgeport Equipment, and a local, Spring Hill Rod and Gun. Don't know about the small local stores, as their websites say they have no reloading supplies. I buy reloading supplies online for now. It's sad to not support local, but no choice.
