So I've made a list of the equipment and tools needed to get me started in reloading. I think I'm content with the list for now. Considering Im just getting started and will probably upgrade to other things in the future. But that got me thinking ahead about componets. Right now Im just poking around comparing prices and checking avalibility. I won't be ordering anything until I have my manuals as refrences. But it does bring up a big question for me. Where does everyone buy their componets? And I do mean everything. Bullets,powders,primers and brass when you need it. I will need it all. I've been saving my brass but only have about 150 357mag and about 500 38 spl. I need more 357 brass and I'm studing real hard as a 30-30 T/C G2 Contender of being my next handgun purchase. So I will need brass for that as well if I still deide to go that rought. So please list your componet suppliers. If they are a smaller outfit that does not have a website please list their contact info. I'm curious to see how many pops up that I have not yet seen or heard of yet. Thanks

I used to shop online, now I just give my list to my local guy and he gets what I need. He is close enough in price that it isn't worth my time to pinch pennies and there is no hazmat to pay.

Brass and bullets from MidwayUSA.

I watch on gunbroker.com for certain items, sometimes on primers and powder if you buy it in bulk or use the "buy it now" option they wave the hazmat fee or even include the shipping also. I am 40 miles from town and don't go in that often, so online works best for me.

I just noticed that Natchezs is located in Chatanooga. I venture off up there ever now and again. I'll have to see if they have a store where I could walk in save on hazmat shipping charges. Thanks again guys.

I am not sure of this, but I was told recently by someone that went, they do not have a store front..only mail order.
