Powder and primers

#1

Post by dukalmighty »

I just ordered some powder and primers from Powder Valley,wolf primers were 19.00 1000 or 90.00 5000
Unique 8 lbs 93.50
reloader #7 5 lbs 78.30
They ship together and only charge 1 hazmat fee,i believe a company i ordered from in the past charged me a hazmat fee for the primers and a hazmat fee for the powder.The powder prices i saw were the cheapest and even tho the primers were 1.00 more per 5000 i saved by buying everything here as far as shipping and hazmat

Powder Valley is a good company to do business with.

Hey folks. I know this thread is a few months old.....hope a few still follow the "old threads" :lol: Anyway, I will check out Powder Valley. Meantime.....has anyone used these Wolf primers? Normally use CCI but man....they are like almost 25 or 30 bucks per thousand here locally now. I quit ordering via mail with the advent of HAZMAT fees. At the time it eliminated the savings but with the cost of powder and primers now it almost makes reloading pistol not worth it over just buying Wolf rounds for plinking from ammo-man or aim. Same with cost of good old hard lead slugs. Any other reloaders here in Odessa that might be interested in combining some orders with my uncle and I and see if we can get the prices down? Well, as usuall....got off the subject a little.....how did the Wolf primers shoot? Honestly didn't ever realize they sold primers. Have a great weekend.

I don't know anything about the primers, but I would be interested in getting an order or two together to save on supplies. btw, welcome to the forum.

Thx for the welcome. Let me see what unc thinks and I'll get back with ya. I just checked Powder Valley. They will send up to 48 lbs combined primer/powder for one $20 hazmat fee plus shipping. CCI primers were about the same as local....Wolf was cheaper but on powder....they were 7-12 bucks PER pound cheaper across the board than what we have been paying locally. By the time you knock off sales tax, I'm betting 3 of us can order enough to save some money, especially if you load enough to pick up 8 pounders of a couple of your favorite powders. I will go ahead and send in the required paperwork to them to be able to order if we decide to. Meantime, check them out and see what you think. Just sent me private message if u like and we can trade cell numbers if you want to pursue it. Greg

Thx guys. Believe I will give them a try. At least on my bulk loaded stuff like pistol. Stick with what my load is worked up with for my rifle/hunting loads. Have a good one.
