    Reloaders...where to buy in OC?

    BESIDES Fowler's and Stockade, for reasons which I will not go into.

    I need to find a place that has a great selection of bullets, powders, primers, and actually STOCKS them regularly. A place that I can count on to keep their inventory filled up. Where are you picking up reloading supplies?

    I reload a lot of .45ACP, and use Power Pistol, Federal 150's, and Rainier 200gr. flat points. Please share your favorite local shop to buy reloading supplies!

      Cliff's in Santa ana, but I am not sure if he moved to Utah yet. Besides Fowlers and Stockade, Turners is about it, if I were you I would just plan on ordering what you need or you will spend a lot of time on the road, specially if you need and uncommon bullet sizes or cases.
      Are you new to the county?

        I've found the best way to get powder (in bulk) is online from powdervalleyinc.com. Best price on primers is gun shows. If there isn't a show coming up, I try to order primers at the same time as powder so it is under one hazmat fee. Powder Valley charges actual shipping costs so it isn't too bad.

        I wasn't too impressed with the selection of bullets at Ammo Bros. They have lots of loaded ammo but not much for reloaders.

        The reloading store at Angeles Range has everything, including ridiculous prices.

        I order and buy Rainier bullets at The Firing Line but if I didn't get the employee discount, I'd probably order them from Xtreme Bullets (formerly West Coast Bullet.)

          Because of the hazmat fee's, sounds to me like small group-buys (2-4 people) is probably the best way to get supplies.

            Cliff's son (Spencer) used to post alot on the gunsmithing boards at Accurate Reloading but I haven't seen him in awhile. I kept hoping that Cliff would have a huge moving sale before he left. He had years worth of stuff in the shop that would have been neat to dig through.

              He was having a moving sale, his prices were/are not all that great for a moving sale. He sells a lot of his 'junk' on gunbroker also not very good prices. I think he lists as much stuff as everyone else on gunbroker combined.
              You would be hard pressed to find anyone that stocks as wide a variety as he does.

                  I wouldn't go that far. Their prices are really steep, but I have yet to go in there and be confronted by a bubba. Everyone is really nice and actually knowledgable.
