I've had my best success buying powder and primers at gun shows. The price of admission is much less than the hazmat fees. What about the the Frederick show this weekend?
Trop in Elizabethtown, PA. Stopped by today for pistol primers, they are stocked with Fed, CCI, and Win in sm and lg pistol and rifle, lots of powder too, although you should call first if you are taking the drive.
Thanks guys. Mbz, thank you very much, I'm trying to shop for some local stock. I'm going to get a few #s and and maybe a 5k of primers. I might try trop or Fredrick tomorrow.
Maryland gun shows usually don't carry much in the way of powder due to the state's laws for storage. Harrisburg and Allentown gun shows usually are stocked well.
The Easton Gun Show at the Talbot Community Center has a guy there selling powder in 1 and 4 pound container, primers by the 1000 and bullets. He has .223 55gn FMJBT and .308 150gn FMJBT. They looked to be Hornady bulk bullets.
Thanks all. I just ordered some stuff from BP and had it sent here. Had no time to get anywhere today. BP had free shipping and a 27.50 hazmat. My neighbor loves going to Shydas. Maybe we can carpool next weekend. Got some pistol dies I was waiting on in the mail today though! Have the stove warming in the reloading bunker as I'm posting. All is not lost. Thank you all for the help!
