Knoxville reloading supplies?

[battleop]

I looked through the sticky thread and I didn't find anything recent so I would consider half or more of that thread as possibly stale info.    I've got to make a quick trip in the morning from Chattanooga to Knoxville (south side of town) to do a 2 minute job.   Are there any decent reloading places along the way?  I'm looking for Remington 7 1/2 Bench Rest primers and I've not found any in Chattanooga.  Normally I send one of my guys to plug in a router but I figured I would use this excuse to search for some primers in another city.

Have you checked Sportsman's Warehouse in Chatt? They have a better selection than anywhere in Knoxville.

2-3 times a week. They have every Remington primer except for 7 1/2 BR.

I have never had great luck with the 7.5's. Try some Tula SRM primers and you will see a reduction in your SD numbers. Matter of fact when using 7.5 primers I had the worst SD numbers ever. This was against CCI 400, CCI 41, Wolf and Tula. I bought a bunch of 7.5s back in 2008 when all primers were scarce and I still have a bunch left over as last resort, or plinking, primers.

For everyone person that tells me Primer X sucks someone else tells me Primer X is great.   The Nosler manual I have suggests the Rem 7.5 BR for the .224 bullet I'm loading.   I've got some CCI, Winchester, and Tula Small Rifle primers but I wanted to try the Rem for my self to see how they work in my gun.    The Remington may or may not work for me but I won't know until I try it.   

 

On my way back from Knoxville to Chattanooga I took the scenic route and stopped at Benton's and found what I was looking for cheaper that I can order it from anywhere because of the hazmat fee.  $4/100 or $40/1000.

Primers are the only thing that they are reasonable on.

Powder is still 150% MSRP.

When I stopped there earlier in the week in the vain hope that sanity prevailed on his pricing, they were marking down Unique from $32 to $30 ...

I bought 3 pounds of Unique from Sportmans Warehouse a month ago for $65 tax included.

Every time I drive by the place, the parking lot is empty.

They are very proud and think highly of their well stocked shelves.

Bummer.  When I work down there on occasion, I frequently stop by Sportsman's Warehouse just for kicks.

 

They had powder and brass that I wanted when no one else did.  But that was several years ago.

I think most everyone in Knoxville gets their reloading supplies from either the internet or David at the gun shows.  No really a good place around here to find reloading supplies.

+1 for this

Guardian Armory has some reloading supplies. I even saw primers at Academy last time I was in there.

I use Midsouth Shooters Supply. But then I live near Nashville and Clarksville is just an hour north for free pickup. Keep an eye on their website for powder and primers. I get a lot of bullets from them. I use a local store for powder (mostly). Not too off on their prices
