Need a stock of SPPs, preferably Federal or Winchester.

I've always bought local but that's getting expensive.

Isn't there a web site that shows in-stock reloading component deals?

Don't forget to factor in the hazmat and shipping fees. This usually drives the mail-order price well above the local price.

I'm going to start following you around! LOL. I paid more than that for a holster. You did good.
 
Running low on primers myself and will have to resupply before the end of the year. A few weeks ago I checked the prices of both SPP and LPP primers at Midway, but it didn't seem worth while to buy them when I pass through Columbia in November.

But now with the fall of the $NZ against a the $US it is looking like a 1/3 saving now with better savings next year once sales taxes are added by retailers here (15% on everything). Weight is negilable but I'm not sure of international shipping rules. And I have not yet researched airline rules (Air NZ).
 
You can shop around and likely find the best prices online but factoring in the shipping and hazmat, online isn't always the best deal. I bought my last 1K LPPs at Cabela's and it cost me nothing, nada. Secret: Cabela's points that I earned from using their credit card paid for the primers.

Nope. Factor in local sales tax and for me, 5k primers are about 18% cheaper than an LGS.
