Bass Pro Shops - Updated Info.....
:o OK, guys. This is it. I took a ride to Orlando this morning to redeem my Winchester certs.
:o :o GOOD GREIF!!!!! :o :o :o
WOW are their prices high! $50 bucks for a box of 1000 Win WLR primers.
$38 for a 1lb can of IMR4064!!!
I walked past the bullets and sheilded my eyes so I couldn't see them. Or the prices.
If any of y'all need some odds & ends and go to Bass Pro... Y'all better bring 2 checkbooks!!
I cashed in my certs, left with 2 boxes of WLR & 1 box of WSP. Ran for the car, hooked it out of the parking lot & didn't look back.
Funny thing, though. The place was PACKED with people.
Go figure.
Thank you for listening.
Anybody buy their reloading supplies (powder, primers, bullets, brass, etc...) from Bass Pro Shop?
I was looking over their prices and it appears if I don't pay a haz fee & shipping, the prices are most comparable.
Also, I have $150 worth of Winchester mfg. certs. that I can't seem to find anyplace to use.
I called Natchez, midway, Powder Valley, etc,.... No luck. Gotta use 'em locally & I just happen to have a Bass Pro about 50 minutes west of me in Orlando.
What say ye of vast knowledge on the subject? ;)

I needed some 209 primers and stopped by Bass Pro and almost fainted in the aisle. It was $6 plus tax for 100. I bought one pack to get by and started looking around.
I decided to get what primers and powder I needed along with the dies I needed for the .308 Axis I had just bought. I ordered my stuff from Midsouth Shooters Supply, the 1000 shotgun primers price made up for the Hazmat and shipping. The small pistol primers were $20 cheaper per 1000 and the powder was $10 a pound cheaper. Since I live in Tennessee I had to pay tax, but I got it in 3 days.
It would be nice to buy local, but I try not to be a complete fool.
Re: Bass Pro Shops - Updated Info.....
Bass Pro in Clarksville, IN had great prices for about the first two years they were open; the last couple things have gotten f'in ridiculous. The local gun shop is cheaper on just about everything, and now has a much better selection of reloading components than Bass Pro.
There's a Cabelas coming to Louisville in a year or two, I'm hoping that will bring BPS' prices back down to reality.
I'd just about kill for a Sportsman's Warehouse, though...
Re: Bass Pro Shops - Updated Info.....
I just bought 2 bricks of CCI LR primers for $24 apiece that is about $15 less than the local shops price.Bought them at Widners.
Also for 209's try Balistic products http://www.ballisticproducts.com/ thier prices on shotgun primers are pretty good. http://www.ballisticproducts.com/Sho.../products/290/. If you buy 5 boxes they are $25 a box, sometimes even cheaper when they are on sale or when the haz mat is half price.

Ive got a sportsmans near my house.... its a great place, but for the past 6+ months they have not had any small pistol primers..... I dont know if they just havent ordered them or if someone keeps buying them out, but either way, they need to get off their butts and get some in stock!!! 4-5 times now I have gone in to buy a few things, then when I get to the reloading isle, and see still no small pistol primers, I proceed to unload the cart and buy it all elsewhere.... the 45 min drive to cabela's is annoying, but at least they have primers in stock!!!!

Call ahead and save some frustration.
Here in Joplin we've got 2 stores that carry reloading components and another 15 miles away in Carthage. I've not had to pay a hazmat fee for powder or primers since we've got local.
Re: Bass Pro Shops - Updated Info.....
Its only about a mile from my house so i drive by fairly often... I just kept going in thinking "there is NO WAY they could STILL be out"...... I mean seriously, at some point they have got to get them, right?
Re: Bass Pro Shops - Updated Info.....
The place I get my loading supplies locally has not had CCI 450s or BR-4s for almost a year now. The store caters more to hunters so they don't stock benchrest items very often.
