Post by: moseslake on November 09, 2007, 06:51:24 AM: Just wondering if anyone knew if Sportsman Wharehouse in Spokane has reloading components for steel shotshells??

Their loaded shell inventory was incredible, but I felt like at least in regards to reloading for long rifles it was somewhat lacking.

I asked them to do me a favor, just for the heck of it, check what a pound of Varget would go for over there.

$21.99 at Cabela's
$17.99 at the White Elephant

You bet I'll go to check it out (maybe in march), but if prices stay high, I'll do my shopping elsewhere.....

My biggest worry, they will drive other local prices up....the Elephant's prices went up when Sportsman's opened up.

Post by: littletoes on November 12, 2007, 07:36:41 AM: I use to drive to Balck Sheep just to purchase Hornady New Dimension dies, nobody else in town had them. Now I mostly stick with Redding.

Powder was a buck or two cheaper at Clarck's in Colville, so I'd buy powder there. Their prices just went up too.

Don't know if I've seen many steel shot reloading components though....
