Title: Powder in bulk in tacoma?
Post by: wraithen on May 26, 2012, 10:00:46 AM: Anyone know where I can find powder in larger quantities than 1 lb jugs around jblm, tacoma, etc.? I went last thursday and got the powders I needed (FINALLY!) in sportco in fife but they didn't have anything larger than 1 lb cans. I'd like to buy the larger quantities for powder. Bullets too but I think that's not going to happen locally. I've only found the lacey cabelas to make it pretty easy to buy primers in bulk. I can live with buying bullets online from certain places, but not powder or primers. I don't know anyone else that reloads so buying in 20-30 lb quantities is not much of an option to avoid crazy hazmat charges. Anyone got any ideas? I'm about to start calling around and seeing if anyone can special order the larger jugs for me without ripping me off.

If they had larger quantity containers, they would have to be stored in a "magazine" designed specifically for that. :dunno:
