    I already have (and have bought from):
    • Midway USA
    • Midsouth Shooters Supply
    • Powder Valley
    • Creedmoor Sports
    Looking for hard-core truly committed reloading sites with excellent inventory, broad coverage, and reasonable prices.

    What am I missing?
     
    Blue Collar Reloading. They are a small shop in Salisbury NC. They are having the same challenge keeping components in stock but for the stock they do have their prices are competitive with the sale prices of much larger shops that theoretically should reflect the economy of scale in their prices. Their website won't show you out of stock products.

    I saw an excellent selection of powder when I was in the shop a few weeks ago, along with some primers. I was able to stock up on Retumbo when it wasn't available anywhere else.

    Unfortunately they don't ship Hazmat so those would need in store pickup. It's well worth a day trip if you are within range.
     
    Jesus Christ, no Dillon? Really?

    Bobcat Armament sells used reloading gear.

    For custom dies and other stuff, go with Whidding. Talk to the die manager directly. Steer clear of CH4D.

    For components, yeah, Natchez and Powder Valley for sure. I also deal direct with Lapua for brass, much, much cheaper. .308 brass for $.50-.60 ea. in 1000 or 2000 quantity orders. Comes in a nice case too.

    I find it best to buy always in bulk and usually through the manufacturer if possible. I can usually get it for less that way.
     
    Gunstop
    Small shop but carries a good variety of items (maybe not components so much now like anyone else). Website isn't the best, but I've been able to call and talk to him.
     
    Dillon, but depending on what you order, you might be better off with one of their dealers, I've used Gunstop, Bobcat Armament, Ben Stoeger Pro Shop, Scheels, Grafs, Double Alpha, and Everglades Ammo.

    Bullets, Scheels was great a few months ago, they were shipping free, but with so many people ordering bullets, they started adding a $20 surcharge, which made it more feasible for me to buy local.

    Powder and primers, Whoever has them in stock.
     
    Unknown Munitions

    OTM Tactical has pretty good prices and fast shipping on Berger bullets, almost as good as PV.

    Is anyone taking back orders on powder?
