Anybody have a recommendation where one can find a good selection of gun powder in the DFW area? Besides Cabelas. Thanks.

SPS at Beltline and Josey in Addison has powder. I hear the Bass Pro Shop is reintroducing reloading supplies but haven't really looked for powder there.

Bass Pro Shop on IH-30 East near Lake Ray Hubbard does indeed sell powder. The prices appeared to be near retail and most were Hodgdon. I did not notice other reloading supplies, but, that was not why I was in the store. I am a licensed dealer and order powder in bulk so rarely do I purchase any at retail.

Southwest Ammunition Supply Co in Mesquite is where I buy my stuff when not ordering online. They sell powder, primers, bullets and just about anything else reloading related, but no presses.

Last time I got powder at cabella's it was 19.95 per pound. At SW Ammo it is $14 and change. You just cant beat that price.

For mail order, I have had the best results with "Powder Valley"

Their are also deals to be had at the gun shows.
You can also buy much cheaper if you buy in bulk.
Several months ago, I purchased the AA #2 for $44 (4 pound carton). It's normally around $20 if you just buy one pound.

I normally buy from Southwest Ammo at the gunshows in Mesquite. Imagine my surprise when they were NOT present at the TSRA Mesquite show. :confused5

I bought some powder from SW yesterday and they had a good selection although most of the prices were 19-20 bucks a pound, don't matter they had what I wanted. Cabela's is about the same price but I like to give my business to the dealers without the fish aquariums. I also talked with Gander Mountain in Sherman two days ago and they had a 20% sale on powder but the "dude" on the phone wasn't willing to check for the particular powder I was lookin for. SW are nice people.
