Does anyone know of a local store that sells reloading equipment near Piscataway? I'm looking to get into .223 and 9mm, and need everything. I've heard T&T reloading in PA is good, but they're at a show all weekend and I was hoping to find somewhere closer. I'm trying to avoid ordering online because of haz-mat fees/shipping costs.

If your talking about powder and primers, "good luck"! Pretty much non existant.

Effingers usually has powder in stock. They are located right on Rt 28 in Bound Brook. Nice store, OK Prices, attitude depends on the person and the time of day.

 

Sportsmans Center and Cheyenne Mountain down in Boardentown also usually have powder.

 

Sayerville Sportsman is spotty from what I hear.

 

I also heard that Solomon's in Farmingdale is pretty good, although I've never been there.

 

But for Primers, it seems you need to lurk on message boards and continually check all the major websites. Hopefully, the shortage will get better with time.

Thanks. I'm starting from scratch, so I need everything. I know primers and some other supplies are hard to find now, but I figured it was worth a shot. I'm hoping to start reloading asap to maximize my investment, vs. buying 1000 rounds of .223 and then buying all the equipment.

 

Are there any local places to get tools (press, hand primer, scale, powder measurer, etc)?

Hmmm. Are you sure that Effingers carry reloading supplies? I was there about 1-2 months ago looking for reloading supplies and they told me they don't carry it. :?

I was there probably 6 months or so asking for powder and primers and the guy said he usually carries a few different types of powders.. it's possible, they stopped because of the shortage?

 

mjs3350: I don't know what kind of press you are looking to get, but the Lee Breech Lock Challenger Anniversary Kit contains almost everything you need to get up and running, and it can be had from midway or natchez for pretty cheap. That's what I did to get started and I love it.

 

Yes, it is not a dillion, and it is not progressive, but you can turn out some damn fine ammo with it.

For powder, primers, brass and bullets, Salomon's in Farmingdale is the best. He's open today from 1 to 4

 

For reloading equipment places like Midway and Natchez are very good. Order today and it will be at your doorstep on Thursday.

Efinger's doesn't carry any reloading equipment, other than the "ABC's of Reloading". I stopped by yesterday to pick up some ammo.

 

I actually just purchased the Breech Lock Challenger Anniversary kit this morning. Now I have to find consumables.

 

I'll check out Salomon's, maybe I'll get lucky.

 

Thanks for the help everyone.

Effingers is supposed to be a Hornady dealer. Rutgers Gun & Boat Center , 127 Raritan Ave in Highland Park is supposed to sell Lyman reloading equipment.

Don't know! Rutgers is 732-545-4344. Have to look up Effingers. Doubt Rutgers is open today.

More then likely they do.

I heard that you can use 9x19 brass and use the .380 lee case cutter to cut it down to size? Any experience with that?

well, technically the .380 shell is known as a 9MM short

just called Effingers and they said they dont have any reloading equipment.

Just start a WTT add in the marketplace.

I had listed federal small rifle primers for trade, but deleted it as no one was interested. I also have some powder. Probably have some used 380 cases somewhere. I moved in July and trying to sort out everything. Let me know exactly what you are in need of...............
