So I walked into Bass Pro to have a laugh. They are seriously PROUD of their powder! The H335 was $35.99 and IMR 4227 $39.99!!! What???!!!! On a good note I did talk to an older guy for 30 minutes about what he loads and he was asking me a lot about loading for the 450 Bushmaster. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...23d247ff98.jpg

Have you ever seen a local store with better prices? Unless you place a bulk order, even online after hazmat and shipping would be more than that.
I just bought H335 for $23.99, IMR 4227 for $24.97 and get Varget for no more than $26.97. Either Cabela’s or Gander.

I can Order online 5 lbs at a time and pay shipping and hazmat cheaper than I can Buy 4 lbs at my local bass pro. Couple of the local shops are a little bit better on powder but don’t carry what I normally Use.
The funny thing is Cabela’s and BP are the same company now kinda sorta maybe lol

My girlfriend works at Cabelas and it’s a slow transition but man is it just all bad. A handful of managers fired, bargain cave is gone, and employee discounts are basically zilch unless it’s store brand. Thankfully they price match MidwayUSA and I get a hell of a deal on some stuff plus 5% mil discount.Quote:

As far as powder goes I feel like they would. For me their prices are cheaper than midway so I don’t have to. It has worked for getting primers though. But I know a few people there so maybe that helps?

That's good to know. Thanks. Luckily a friend of mine is a gun dealer and i can get my stuff at his cost. But sometimes I don't want to wait if he has to order it.

Thank goodness I have a local dealer who's a competitive shooter and Hunter. He keeps more powder and primers in stock than Powder Valley! I also get excellent pricing as opposed to online stuff because he keeps everything possible in stock and I only buy from him. After talking with him a bit, he told me he keeps so much at all times because he loves the shooting sports and wants to help others keep it alive. Picked up an 8lb jug of AR Comp for $180+ tax the other day. I think they were on PV for around the same price plus shipping and hazmat. Really hard to beat that. I'm sure I got it a lil better priced because I'm in there quite regularly getting stuff for me and a couple shooting buddies.
I tend to get powder from either Bass Pro or Cabelas. My local gun stores don't carry a big selection, and my local Cabelas has really stepped it up in powder selection over the past 5 or so years. I hate paying the marked up price, but as was mentioned above, unless you're buying a large quantity, when you tack on shipping and haz-mat, the price is roughly the same, or at least within relative reason.
