shooting/reloading supply stores in North Seattle area?

[WaTiger]

Any REAL shooting stores in the north Seattle area?   i need primers (a couple hundred not a brick of 500 or 1000) and/or bullets.  plus a few odds and ends...   back in the Midwest, there are gun shops in every small town and they carry most of what you would need for reloading and hunting but i am having a heck of a time finding components around here (Index, Monroe, Everett).   i drove all the way to DGS in Everett and found out they dont carry bullets and the smallest box of primers they sell is a brick of 500...

I'm sure there is a gun shop around here somewhere but i just cant find it.  any help or ideas?   even a decent chain store would work (Bass Pro/Cabelas/Gander MT...)

Thanks!

Closest Cabelas to you is in Olympia.  Sportco in Tacoma or Butches in Seattle might have what you need, but call first. There's shop on Broadway in Everett. Then to the north is Kesselrings in Alger. I don't know what's in Marysville.

Get one thing straightened out in your head right quick. You are not back east (midwest) in a small town.

Personally, I don't buy pistol primers unless I can get a brick or two at a time. Rifle primers.. I'll split with someone and still buy a brick.

Mention what you're specifically looking for, and maybe someone will know of a current local source for that item.

Thanks for the info.   yeah, i know i am not in the midwest anymore, just using that as a reference.   

i reload for my SRH in 454 so i dont go through a brick of primers that often, especially when i reload my 45 colt loads as they are the only ones that require large pistol primers (which is what i was looking for).  and some .452 bullets (XTP Mags or Barnes).   i live in Index and i was hoping to find a shop in Monroe or Bothel...

not sure of the name but there is a decent gun store right around the corner from safeco

Skagit Guns and Wholesale Sports in Burlington have reloading supplies.  That's not to long of a long run.

Outdoor Emporium is the name of the store by safeco. It's owned by sportco

Ah yeah.. Bothel.. I'm pretty sure that whole population there is tree huggin anti gunnin types.  I am surprised there isn't a guns shop in Monroe. Even here in the tiny town of Lynden we've got a pretty good sporting goods store. I forgot about Holiday Sports in Burlington. OK, who's in Lake Stevens or Stanwood with a source?

You would be surprised. There's actually quite a few of us that would rather cut down a tree then hug it. Me and all my buddies hunt.

[JackOfAllTrades]

Glad to hear it, but I'm bettin you're a minority in that town.

Sad to say, but your easiest/best option is to drive to Kesselring's in Burlington.  Make the trip worthwhile by stopping at the Alger Bar & Grill for some "broasted" chicken.

There is Adventure Sports in lynnwood and DJ's in Bothell.

[WaTiger]

Thanks all, now i have quite a few options.   Fremont, i will make that trip just for the broasted chicken

i had heard about DJ's, where is it?  and i also heard of a place called Sam's in Everett.  i guess i will be making another trip.

i had worked up some more loads and after i shoot them today, i will decide on my new hunting round.  i hope the 300 XTP Mag over 29 gr/W296 will be as accurate as 31 gr/H110.    If i can find some 250 gr Barnes, i would lke to try those.

+1 for Adventure Sports in Lynnwood.  Better than average selection of reloading supplies.

I agree, better than average, but that just means they have a few over priced items.  Last time I was there they had a pound of Blue Dot (that’s the good news), they wanted $32.00 for it (the bad news).  Similar story for the rest of their stuff. 

You could try Kenmore gun range in Bothell.  They have some items.  Best selection and prices around for shotshell loading, pistol & rifle is so – so.

Adventure sports in Lynnwood great.  Small Store, good selection, great service.  Prices are average for a small non-chain store.  I'll toss a few more dollars to the small store in exchange for the extra service.

Kesselrings is also great, just a bit of a drive.  Worth it though.
