Are there any local shops that carry reloading supplies? I live in Hunterdon County, near Clinton. Been checking out places like Grafs and Midway for supplies, but that darned Hazmat fee to get it shipped is a killer ($25 per item! Yikes!) and then shipping charges on top of that just make me wonder if I'm better off driving to a shop and buying the stuff?

 

Anyone have any recommendations of places I can go? Looking to buy Bullseye powder and CCI small pistol primers.

Best bet would probably be Cabela's in PA. Probably about an hour west of you.

 

Instead of the Hazmat Fee's, you'll be shellin' out gas money at these prices.

Are the prices for the supplies comparable to Grafs or Midway? If so, I can haul my little 4 cylinder Honda Accord to Cabela's and won't spend more than $20 in gas.

Comparable from what I've seen.

 

Compare prices from their website.

EH Solomon's in Farmingdale. Not actually that far from you and they are well stocked with powder and primers. There's some more info in the reloading source sticky in this forum.

It will cost less to buy online, if you buy enough. grafs is the best for hazmat stuff

Both Grafs and Midway charge $50 in hazmat fee's to ship an 8lb tub of Bullseye and 5000 CCI small pistol primers!!!

I dont know what you are doing wrong but tis $25 with 4.95 handling for grafs. And with the free handling coupon (i think its "blue") its a flat $25

Hmmmmmmm... not sure. It looks like it's charging $25 hazmat fee per each item in the shopping cart.

I just figured it out... One item is out of stock, so it would ship seperately... therefore the hazmat fee is x2.

It's about a 60 mile ride from where I live... BUT my parents live in Monroe Township, which is not far from there at all. I might take a ride over to this place on a day I am at my parents to visit.

Tony, here is a post with Solomon's info. They have strange hours, and I would call to find out what the hours of the week are, also to check to see if what you want is in stock. He's my local supply for now on as the whole $25 thing kinda stinks. It may be worth it for a big bulk purchase, otherwise not.

Thanks Dan!

I was searching online and found T&T Reloading in Easton PA, which is only about 20 minutes West of me. Anyone have any experience with this shop?

Weird hours, impossible to get in touch with. Stopped by the store once, its an unmarked garage in a gravel lot. Nobody there. Went to the house that was at the adress which did wedding dress alterations or whatever, woman said its her husbands bussiness and to come back later and they dont pick up the phone

You cannot find T&T using a GPS. PM me, I have the GPS coordinates. T&T is open 7-9PM, Tues, Wed and Thurs. He has a good selection of powders.

Just checked out their website... It says they'll be open this Saturday from 9am to 5pm... I might try and take a ride there on Sat.

I know you're talking about a different vendor, but Cabela's hazmat is 20.00 for the entire order. It doesn't matter if it's in stock or not. I just ordered a bunch or powder and primers and one was out of stock. I received 3 boxes over a several day span. The only problem is Cabela's doesn't ship powders or primers to NJ. I have it shipped to NYC of all places. I usually buy when the stuff is on sale and free shipping.

I've dealt with T&T before. First time was driving over and couldn't find the shop. I did find it and he was nice enough to stay a couple minutes passed his closing time. I thought the prices were good and he had what I needed.

 

Second time i was lazy and put in an order online - was shipped without incident. I need to make another trip and pick up some supplies.

 

I also believe that jim Flynn's has some reloading components as well.

Isn't T&T the guy that does most of the gun shows in the area? I believe that he was at the Philly Armory show and he does others. Good prices and good selection. My buddy left that show about $260 lighter.

T & T has excellent prices. Sign out front says Computers. No mention of gun stuff. Just North of the Airport. Across from the Stone Church. Hours as listed above. On week ends he goes to gun shows.

Here is photo of T&T from Goggle Earth street view:

 

 

 

The GPS coordinates are: N 40 degrees 45.168', W 075 degrees 15.037'. T&T is about a half mile northwest of the Wachovia Bank at 1300 Uhler Road, Easton, PA 18040. T&T is located in Forks, PA but the address is Easton. The bank is at the intersection of Sullivan Trail and Uhler Road. T&T is on Sullivan Trail. You can use Map Quest to find the bank. The Forks U.C.C. church is on left immediately before T&T. There is a cemetary directly across the street from T&T.

 

T&T is closed on Saturdays if the owner, Tony, is at a gun show.

FYI - They are closed Saturdays if the owner is selling at a gun show.

Yes that's him, I usually buy from him at shows since I'm there anyway.

These are the hours and it's the smaller building in the back.

Wednesday: 6:30pm-9pm

Friday: 6:30pm-9pm

Sunday: 1pm-4pm

I made it out to T&T Reloading today and got all my supplies... Picked up some Bullseye and Winchester 231 powder and a couple of thousand primers. Prices seem to be on par with most other retailers and there's a pretty good selection of supplies (bullets, powders, primers, brass, etc.). I definitely recommend checking this place out if it's not too far a ride for you.
