triggerpresser Posted March 26, 2003 Share Posted March 26, 2003 I am curious to find out what sources the majority of shooters utilize for obtaining the supplies to reload with. Like bullets, brass, powder, primers, corn cob media... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shred Posted March 26, 2003 Share Posted March 26, 2003 How about "From vendors at a match?" That's where I get most of my reloading supplies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shooter Grrl Posted March 26, 2003 Share Posted March 26, 2003 How about an "all of the above" option OR... a dedicated competition retailer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bullets for limited gun from Precision Bullets. 4. Bullets for open gun from local gun store or online distributors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shooter Grrl Posted March 27, 2003 Share Posted March 27, 2003 I'm in the process of switching to .38 Super Comp, so the brass will be bought from Starline. Powder and bullets are bought from Chuck @ Shooters Connection. Cleaning media is bought from Petco and the Dillon Rapid Polish is bought from be.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I do only have polymer but you can even use those for steel, USPSA and IDPA. I've got an umbrella and I'll have a new poncho as well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mark123 Posted March 29, 2003 Share Posted March 29, 2003 I buy primers and powder locally whenever there is a sale or I run out. I buy jacketed bullets online, I buy lead SWCs locally (cheap).

triggerpresser Posted March 30, 2003 Author Share Posted March 30, 2003 Looks like maybe I should have made this poll a multiple choice, as those who have replied listed more than one source. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ErikW Posted March 31, 2003 Share Posted March 31, 2003 To be economical, you have to buy heavy (bullets, media) or hazmat (primers, powder) items locally. That's why a lot of people don't use one source. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peanutbutter Posted July 8, 2003 Share Posted July 8, 2003 Cleaning media is bought from Petco Hi, I was just wondering what your cleaning media is, since Petco is a pet store? The only thing I thought of was kitty litter (I've owned cats for years). If this is indeed true, does this really work? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
