March 27, 201214 yr Just curious I have always bought at the valley forge gun show and well we know what happened to that. Just wondering if there is anywhere local, ie. central jersey shore area that sells components.
March 27, 201214 yr Solomon's in Farmingdale. Sorry not at my home computer, but someone will post the address and hours.
March 27, 201214 yr I just placed an order at powder valley. You can't beat their prices. Just find someone to split hazmat with. Solomons in farmingdale isn't bad either.
March 27, 201214 yr Is it legal to have powder and primers shipped to NJ? I thought I read somewhere that it wasn't or maybe it just was the vendor's policy?
March 27, 201214 yr Is it legal to have powder and primers shipped to NJ? I thought I read somewhere that it wasn't or maybe it just was the vendor's policy? Perfectly legal.
March 27, 201214 yr Author Ok forget just central jersey what about throughout the state?? I don't mind a drive everyone once in a while.
March 27, 201214 yr Solomon's in Farmingdale. Sorry not at my home computer, but someone will post the address and hours. 142 Yellowbrook Road Farmingdale, NJ hours; OPEN most days about 9 or 10 Occasionally as early as 7 but Some Days as late as 12 or 1 We Close about 5:30 or 6 Sometimes about 4 or 5 But occasionally as late as 7 or 8 Some Days or Afternoons We aren't open at all None of those hours apply in case of high tide or full moon...
March 27, 201214 yr I just placed an order at powder valley. You can't beat their prices. Just find someone to split hazmat with. Solomons in farmingdale isn't bad either. Split hazmat? What does this mean? Why would anyone want to split hazmat with me to wedge in the extra 200 primers that would fit under a single hazmat charge? It's pretty much either solomons, go to PA, or mail order. powder valley, wideners, grafs, etc.

It's pretty much either solomons, go to PA, or mail order. powder valley, wideners, grafs, etc. Brian is talking about 2 or more people going in on a larger order and split the hazmat and shipping fee, just like we have done in the past and do with other group buys.
March 27, 201214 yr Brian is talking about 2 or more people going in on a larger order and split the hazmat and shipping fee, just like we have done in the past and do with other group buys. Really? I would have never figured. My point was 29lbs isn't much weight to split, especially if you load for rifle.
March 27, 201214 yr We actually ordered so much we had to pay 2 hazmat fees. Guess 48 pounds of powder and approx 20k primers weight a lot. Ha. Once we found out our original order was already going to be 2 hazmat fees we figured we might as well max it out and order some more. The initial cost kinda sucks but it will be nice to have everything stocked up.
March 28, 201214 yr +1 for Powder Valley. Though some of the volumes you're talking about make my eyes pop, so long as you order 10+ haz items, the price savings typically beat out what you can find locally even with shipping/haz fees included.

Wow! They've expanded their hours.
March 28, 201214 yr I've learned to call Solomon's before heading out the door to make sure they are open. Otherwise you are taking a chance.
March 28, 201214 yr I know that solomans is open both wed and friday from 7pm to 9pm. Then sunday at some point.

LOL! Yes, pretty much. I was even told by the guy sometimes they close early on a Sunday if there is a good football game on. Hahaha! Good place though. I got a pistol there once too. You'd be surprised at what they have in stock for guns.

I got a pistol there once too. You'd be surprised at what they have in stock for guns. I'm continually shocked at what they have in stock and don't have in stock and the fact that any of it has the ownership transferred to an individual in exchange for money at that place. Not that I'm saying don't go there, but don't go there with an preconceived notions about retail transactions. I think being a retail establishment was the result of some sort of complicated accident.
April 13, 201214 yr if you order powder and primers, be aware there will be two hazmat fees (25.00 each) as they cannot be shipped in the same container. Rules, Rules, Rules. Make a day of it go to gun shows. Check T&T Reloading. His website home page (bottom left) will tell you what show he's going to the nex weekend. Can be sure its one of the bigger shows and he will not be the only one there selling reloading supplies.
April 13, 201214 yr Powder Valley will mix primers and powder in one box for a single hazmat fee. A full box is either 6 eight pounders of powder or 10 five thousand cases of primers, or a combination thereof. They ship promptly and their prices are outstanding. Take it from a satisfied customer!
April 13, 201214 yr Just put in an order for 8lb's + 4k primers last wend. delivered yesterday. Powder valley gets a thumbs up, just make sure you send your license to them after you order, it takes 2-3 days for them to process your order since its a manual system. I also ordered 200 bullets and 2 hornady one shot cleaner, all came in one box under one hazmat fee. So i could have squeezed more actual hazmat material in there and had them shipped the non hazmat stuff separate. I think i'm set for a very long time. And i can get more primers locally they are just a bit more money. 30 bucks for 1k primers is a great deal. and $109 for 8lb's of titegroup. I thought it wasn't too smart getting so much poweder i've never used before, but worst case scenario i can sell some if i don't like it, or just hold onto it and use it for a rainy day, i wanted the 4lb option but it was sold out, and 1lb wasn't worth the hazmat fee. Right now, powder valley has a lot of stock.

I already had free hazmat and shipping by catching a sale.

I ordered 20lbs of powder, and 10k primers form powder valley inc. One hazmat fee. They DEFINITELY came in one outer box, although there were multiple inner boxes. From their front page "WE CAN COMBINE UP TO 48 LBS. OF POWDER AND PRIMERS UNDER ONE HAZMAT TO SAVE YOU MONEY."
April 13, 201214 yr As everyone else said, Powder Valley DOES combine hazmat up to a certain quantity. Midway however does NOT combine as they ship from different warehouses (or maybe even drop ship) I believe. So if you order powder AND primers from them, they will charge you hazmat and shipping twice. Powder Valley's prices are better anyway. I try to wait until I need a few thousand primers and a few pounds of powder before I order, or I combine with a friend.

April 14, 201214 yr New place opening today 4/14 Banger's , Winslow ,N.J. Add says he stocks all reloading supplies . I would make a cll before driving down .

May 8, 201214 yr Where do you buy locally? Ramsey outdoor has CCI and Federal primers, maybe some others too, but nothing in terms of powder/bullets/cases and hardware. Mastodon Ammo and Camo had primers last time i was in there too.
