Where do ya'll think the best place to buy reloading equipment is? Been trying to find where to go!
 
For equipment and some components I comparison shop between these:
http://www.sinclairintl.com
They are competitive on some items and not others. The big benefit is they don't carry much in the way of junk tools and equipment like some others.

http://www.midwayusa.com
Like the Wal-Mart of shooting and reloading. If you need bullets, a turkey call, and a holster they have something in every category. Their prices are not always the lowest and they will hammer you on shipping on certain items.

http://www.midsouthshooterssupply.com
Generally good prices and reasonably good selection..


For components I always check:
http://www.powdervalleyinc.com
Typically they have the best prices on bullets, powder, and primers. Their shipping is a little quirky, not knowing what it will cost when you place the order, but its not a big deal.

Others I occasionally shop:
http://www.cabelas.com
http://www.sportsmansguide.com
http://www.natchezss.com
http://www.grafs.com
 
On the equipment end, Ebay. Can't do much there in the way of components, but you can find all the equipment you need at competitive prices. some dirt cheap.
 
I buy from all those on Forester's list. Sinclair is #1 in quality; Powder Valley has good component prices; Midway USA has a large selection, but they screw you on S&H. I have found Midsouth to most often be the cheapest, and they charge actual shipping cost, a big plus.
 
If you want Lee equipment Lee Factory Sales is a good outfit to do business with. Just be sure you ask if the stuff is in stock before you buy.
 
Another vote for Lee Factory Sales. You very well may find a price that is slightly better but usually not by far and the service is as good as you can get, also their shipping is very reasonable and fast. Twice I have ordered without being charged for shipping.
 
2nd on Bruno's web site is not great (sucks) but service and communication is great.
 
Time to update this thread?

I once used MidwayUSA and Brownells exclusively. Now, I still use Brownells for gun parts, but Midsouth and Graf are my primary sources for reloading supplies. MidwayUSA has gotten expensive over the years. Powder Valley has great pricing and recently updated their shipping cost.....I foresee ordering from them and Brunos in the future. Anyone else have a new favorite?
 
Depends on what I'm buying. The last couple of years I've been buying Lee equipment from FS Reloading. Great place to do business.

I agree with the observations about Midway USA. About all I use them for now is to look at product reviews. They are no longer the good deal they once were.
