closest place to central westchester to purchase powder?

[MikeGrad]

Im going to try my hand at reloading, and the usual places like gander mtn have the starter kits and tools. But I'm guessing there is some law in NY against selling the powder and bullets as i never see those in-store. So where is the closest place to purchase these in person? PA ?

Thanks in advance for your help!

What caliber are you reloading for?

 

[MikeGrad]

ill be reloading 243 to start, but i expect to be looking at 300 win mag and some 9mm and 45 for pistols when (if?) i get the hang of it.

45 ACP is probably the easiest round to reload. Why not start there.

Togmaster, thanks for this - i will be making a trip up there next week.

45 would be a good place to start - but ill have to shoot up some boxes to get the brass. I have a ton of 243 and 300WM brass around so i was planning on starting there to see what sort of accuracy improvements i can get with hand loads.

There is no NY State law against selling powder, primer, or bullets. Why don't you make a pleasure trip to see bullet guy in Tillson (just south of Rosendale, you would get off the New Paltz thruway exit).

There is also no law against buying powder, primers and bullets and having them shipped to you. You will have to pay a hazmat fee on powder/primer, so it pays to buy a bunch if you are doing an internet order.

I also noticed that bass pro shops carries some in stock. Closet one to me is in CT - will invest able to purchase there or is that also subject to the ammo purchase rules in ct? I'm guessing it is so I'm better off at the bullet guy or master class.

I don't know what it is with the Bridgeport location but their prices are out of line. They only sell primers by the sleeve, 100 at a time. Powder and projectiles can be had for less elsewhere. Stick with the other 2 you mentioned.

And when I bought projectiles from Bass Pro they wanted to see my CT permit.

Didn't say I recommended them, just that they do have powder available.

just as a follow up, Precision Armory in Carmel had the best in-stock selection of powder and primers that I've seen. No other reloading supplies though. I've got a cart full of stuff at midway and my eye on an ebay auction for an RCBS supreme press kit. Just cant pull the trigger yet.

When the items you want are in stock, order in bulk to minimize Hazmat fee per item.

Group buy anyone? I'm starting to get low on primers and wouldn't mind picking up 4-5k. Let me know if there is any interest.

Slick Eddie was a price gouger during the shortage, sort of the Dicks of independents, I wouldn't buy shit from him.

Since you have to pay a hazmat fee, why not just pick up some powder at the same time?

I need primers. Someone else needs powder. Group buy = 1\2 hazmat.

Gun show in Middletown this weekend (Nov 5th & 6th). Might be a good place to score powder & primers if T&T will be there.
