Reloading supplies getting any easier to find yet?

[Guest Arko]

I've been wanting to get into reloading for years, and now that I finally have the room, I'm afraid it's still going to be a pain in the butt getting supplies.

So the question is, IS this a good time to get into reloading? I'm considering buying a "starter kit" sometime in the near future and trying to collect all the supplies.

If y'all weren't already reloading, would you start now?

I generally order bulk from Powder Valley, and I can now get the bullets and powder that I use, but primers are still somewhat touch and go. When you find them, they are quite a bit pricier than they were last year.

We're getting there, but we may still be a few months out.

While it's still a hit or miss on certain items, supplies have opened up somewhat compared to recent history.

So to answer your question, go for it and start collecting what you can.

I have always heard that Natchez won't sell to TN residents. Have they changed their policy or have I listened to bad info?

Added: I just went to Natchez website and was going to order a free catalog and found this. I guess that the info I've been hearing was good.

Simply fill in the information below to receive a FREE 104 page Catalog in the mail. Loaded with good products at great prices. Please note, we do not accept orders from Tennessee, Georgia, or Alabama.

I'd go for it. Primers have become a lot easier to find than this time last year, I've found what I wanted for a reasonable price fairly easily.

[Guest canebreaker]

I ordered a catalog to my southaven address, but have misplaced it somewhere. Or GF filed it under T.

Could use my address if you can wait for delivery,

[Guest Arko]

Why won't Natchez sell to TN residents?

[Guest SUNTZU]

Why won't Natchez sell to TN residents?

I'd like to know this as well.

[McAllyn]

It is my understanding that they are a supplier to local shops, and they are trying not to compete with local businesses.

This is second or third hand information, so take it for what it's worth.

I appreciate the offer but if they don't need my money....kinda like the restaurants that banned handguns, there are others around that will take it.

They (Natchez & Chattanooga Shooters Supply) are wholesale to gunshops only in TN, GA, & AL.

If you are in the Chattanooga/Cleveland area.

Try www.skipsfirearms.com. He has an account with them and may be able to get items for you.

He's just open on Wednesday afternoon, so it may not work for you.

I tried to order a Night-Monicle from them,They refused my order.( Lynchburg Tn. address) I was told by a Natchez Rep that they had a No-Competition Agreemment with the states of Ga. Ala. and Tenn. I happend to mention that that was not free interprize and that they were losing money & Customers. I was told to Buy somewhere else.So I did!

But when a long train of abuses and usurpation's, (forcible seizure without right, of position, power), pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, (tyrannical power), it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new guards for their future security

It's their choice. they don't compete against their customers. It baffled me for years but when I thought about it, it makes sense. As a selling point to dealers in local states they have a non-compete agreement with them.

Besides.. they really want bulk orders and not the onseee twosee type customers.

Oh well.. look elsewhere or get a buddy from KY to order for ya like I do.

[Guest Oldsarge]

Yep!!! It's their Business,They can run it anyway they wish and I respect that. So I bought else where.

[Guest Arko]

Well, natchez aside, it looks like I may as well start gathering gear and supplies. Guess I need to shoot some ammo up for the brass!

Haha! My thoughts are the same.

Even better, I don't have anything I can reload yet, except shotguns. So its time for a new .30-06 for my birthday.

For what its worth, the Mid South website is actually Midsouth Shooters Supply, Reloading, Air Guns, Optics, Muzzleloaders & Shooting Supplies

Took me a minute to figure that one out.
