    don't forget Grafs

    www.grafs.com

    I'll normally shop around to find the best prices/shipping costs.......although lately it seems like ya just have to go with who has what you want "in stock"

    I was about to suggest Grafs, but Trappst beat me to it.
    www.grafs.com


    Don't forget to calculate your shipping prices. What I do when I want to make a major purchase is to generate a spreadsheet with prices and shipping costs from different vendors.

    Better place than Midway? ANYWHERE!!!
    Joking aside, I really like Midsouth & Powder Valley.
    Natchez is alright sometimes, but their website REALLY stinks.
    I'm a firm believer in the theory that if it bleeds, I can kill it.

    The C&C also makes Midway tough to beat.

    Cabelas frequently has free shipping, or $25 off purchases of $100 or more. If the items you are looking for happen to be on sale also, this can make for some good deals.

    I rerally like midway but for components I've been spend alot of money at powdervalley. He had brass for a 6.5x47 lapua almost 50$ a hundred CHEAPER than midway. PV runs a special every once in a while where if you buy 5K of federal primers no hazmat fee, and you can add all the primera and powder ( to his shipping limit) you want

    Graf's has a very reasonable handling charge compared to Midway. I recently ordered 204R and 7mm bullets along with 100 204R brass cases. Shipping was $4.98.

    With a C&R Grafs dealer prices are untouchable.
    Midway's dealer discount is a very very bad joke.
    Unless it is available nowhere else I will not buy from Midway.

    Grafs is good for dealer prices on optics and reloading supplies, but they charge a bunch extra to use a credit card and their shipping prices are worse than Midway.

    Midway's dealer prices are good for all the gun parts and gunsmithing supplies.

    I always shop around for the best deals.

    Grafs charges 3% for CC purchases. I use a check or MO.
    Shipping at Grafs is comparable to Midway but I often negotiate reduced shipping charges with Grafs. Try that with Midway.

    As for gun parts and gunsmithing supplies, the great Brownells gets all that business.
