In the past several months since I got interested in casting boolits and reloading, I have mostly ordered from Midway. I heard of Midsouth on this forum and did order something from them. I just read about Graft today.

It would be nice to learn what sites forum members visit for shooting supplies, and perhaps a quick thought about them.

I know that I will find this information valuable, and hope that it might help others who are new to this 'hobby' as well.

Thanks,

Randy

I've ordered from Midway, Natchets, Midsouth and most recently Gaffs. I have done Midway the most but they do have a minumum $25 or they charge extra and if you back order anything they charge extra shipping so I make sure not to backorder anything. They do have liberal shipping so you can choose how much and how soon you get your stuff.
Natchets I believe was a little cheaper but I swithched to Midway because it's closer and I get stuff sooner. Also Natchets web site isn't very user friendly and they don't really give you much choice for shipping and I believe if I remember right they have a minumum order thing too.
I've only ordered from midsouth a couple times because they have some stuff the others didn't or they were out of stock. They take a little while for me too because of location.
I only recently ordered from gaffs and got the stuff super quick and they have cheap shipping. They also don't notify you when items are shipped. I like that feature but it is not a must especially if they get it to you quick anyway. They have no minumum order policy and since or at least right now I have most of the reload stuff I need except for small stuff they will be getting a lot of my future orders.
Last I would like to add that I have not had any problems with any of these places order wise except for my own errors in ordering and I would not hesitate to reorder with any of them if needed.

The above take 03 FFLs and provide dealer discounts. Maybe some other do that I'm not aware of.
I just got my 03 FFL at the end of February, sent copies to the above, and with two orders recovered the $30 FFL license fee. NOTE: I didn't really "save" money, but I was charged more than $30 less than I would have spent.

I've ordered from all the above with good results. Pay attention to their minimum order policies, and shipping policies. Also, you might find a better deal one one item at one dealer, but find that buying several things at another will get you a lower overall cost due to shipping. You have to shop around and check these things out.

You might try these places too:

http://www.powdervalleyinc.com/

http://www.recobstargetshop.com/

Also, don't forget the suppliers at the top and bottom of these pages!
Good Luck,
