My Reloading vendor is moving

[Russ Woody]

I went to my reloading vendor up in Little York today to pick up some supplies only to find out they are moving to W. Virginia. I damn near got the last pound of Varget but the guy juuusssst before me got it. Anybody have a good vendor in the Cortland/ Tompkins/ Broome/Chenango county area with decent reloading supplies in stock? I guess I have 6 more weeks to stock up on goodies on sale but I need a new vendor.

Nope, my main supplier has given up on reloading. Beikirchss is done with re-loading. Last time I was in there they had laid off half their personnel and they were only going to sell firearms, period.

BTW: their website blows

Online and gun shows. I usually try to combine as much power and primers as possible on one order. My go to lately has been Graf and Sons. The Reloading Authority - Graf & Sons

When you order in bulk the hazmat and shipping is not significant and the components are usually cheaper than local retail.

They’re Moving to W. Virginia... I think your best bet is to follow them there.

Is that Mountainside, the only people I can think of in Little York. If that’s true, quite a shame as I really like their store, and it’s conveniently on the way home from work for me.

check out Powder Valley, Inc. .. and follow on FB if you use it .. there hazmat shipping is 19.95 ..

Yes its Mountainside. Its a shame because they have all sorts of sportsman stuff in stock. Guns, Ammo, fishing gear, reloading stuff, trapping stuff etc. Damn near as good as Mayhoods over in Oxford. I should call them and see if they have reloading stuff. I was there a couple of years ago before I got into reloading.

I like to be able to go in and look stuff over hands on so to speak. I don't mind giving local retailers a little profit. I am an independent business man myself. I am a Cabinetmaker Contractor by trade. My son and I do a lot of cabinet work in Ithaca.

That being said, I have done business with Graf's, Natchez and Missouri bullets to name a few. Its just nice to be able to go in and look over the products and finger *** them. KnowwhatImsayin?

I sold a lot of reloading components in Tompkins County from 2001 until 2016 and I moved the hell out of NY. I took all my leftover inventory with me when I left. I don't miss NY BS laws. I have a lot of powder, primers & bullets left including 10 lbs. of Varget. Everything I have left will probably last longer than I do.

The Reloading Authority - Graf & Sons and Ammo, Optics, Bullets & More | Natchez are my go to. Natchez does free hazmat pretty often. Even with hazmat I can get a better deal, than buying local. (as long as you buy in bulk)

 

[XP100]

The big sellers are a good part of the reason the small shops like mine and others either don't sell reloading components or closed and moved out of NY. I had to either drive a long distance or pay hazmat on powder & primers. When I opened I could get 70 lbs. of powder in one box then they cut it back. I am trying to sell some of my left over stuff at dealer cost and when I looked up the latest prices most are less than I paid when I bought it 2 yrs. ago. Also when i closed I had to pay Fed., State and sales tax on my inventory in stock.

Good shop in dutchess always well stocked if you travel.
Quattro’s

 

[penrod72]

MAyhoods has powder. Was there ~3 years ago to pick up something I couldn't find elsewhere (don't recall what). They had a decent stock of bullets too, if I recall correctly.
Franklin's in Locke is just over the hill, they have powder, limited stock on other components .

While not a mom and pop local gun shop, Runnings also has a decent supply of reloading supplies at reasonable prices.

It sucks not having or losing local gun & gun related shops. I like to go personally thou a shop and pick out what I want and look at other stuff to see what else I might want.

Not that Sucks has much, but I will go with out before I spend a penny there.

Since Bass Pro bought out Cabelas I quit shopping there unless it is the last resort.

I would take the drive to methods and talk to the . m person who does the buying for the reloading stuff and tell that person you are looking for a new semi local reloading supplier and there are others as well. They might expand their reloading supplies.
