BiMart is my go-to reloading supply store in Oregon. And no sales tax.

Sportsmans Warehouse is decent as well.

No, Sportsmans has a much larger selection.

If your loading in any decent quantity I’ve found it’s cheaper and easier to buy online and pay hazmat

h20hunter · « **Reply #8 on:** June 19, 2018, 06:02:51 PM »

8lb 'ers

Oh Mah · « **Reply #9 on:** June 19, 2018, 06:07:20 PM »

What is the hazmat fee for 8 pounds?Is it the same as buying a 1 pounder?

h20hunter · « **Reply #10 on:** June 19, 2018, 06:11:09 PM »

I think on naches its like 18 bucks up to x pounds.....

BULLBLASTER · « **Reply #11 on:** June 19, 2018, 06:19:01 PM »

Same up to 18 or 20 or so. Lots of places run specials on free or reduced hazmat.

Oh Mah · « **Reply #12 on:** June 19, 2018, 06:28:28 PM »

Thanks you both.I go thru a lot of powder never have ordered online yet.

Right now I'm trying to come up with a new load for my 30-378, have been using 180 grain Barnes and they've worked well for me, doing some upgrades to the gun and it was recommended by the gunsmith to use heavier bullets, I tried early on but didn't give it much effort since the 180's we're working, so for now I'm just going to buy a few different powders couple of different bullets, he suggested Remington 9½ primers which I'll try but I have 1000 Federal 215 primers

Oh Mah · « **Reply #14 on:** June 19, 2018, 06:32:26 PM »

I'm no gunsmith but i would stick with the 215's,@ min. 200 grain whatever and imr7828 or h1000 powder.

The Barnes generally like a big jump and work well in the Bees. 230 Berger would be nice if you could get it to shoot. The brand new 230 SMK's mite be good but require 1:8 twist.

royalbull · « **Reply #16 on:** June 19, 2018, 07:38:13 PM »

I believe my twist is 1-10

CarbonHunter · « **Reply #17 on:** June 19, 2018, 07:51:14 PM »

I recently found that Midway runs good sales on bullets (I’ve been buying Hornady lately) so I would get on their email list and watch their sales.

hogslayer · « **Reply #20 on:** June 20, 2018, 10:55:41 AM »

245$ for 8 lbs of H1000. Same price as buying it from store and you don’t need have to be there to sign for it.

Oh Mah · « **Reply #21 on:** June 20, 2018, 06:36:43 PM »

It's not just price though.When you have a favored powder you want that powder and if stores are out(like they are most times)You end up looking at these other options.

Brownell's huh>I will look into them. Thanks
