    Looking to start a group but in Modesto

    I am looking to do a group buy of primers or powders. Powder I am looking at is HP38 or Win 231. Primers I am not the particular on, since I need all kinds.

    The Gun Shop in Oakdale can help you out.
    A 30cal will reach out and touch them. A 50cal will kick their butt.

        Problem with group buys on powders is availability. Manufacturers can't keep up with current demand and get full price when it is available. Why offer powder at a discount when its not going to sit on the shelves and they get full price (if not more).

        I've looked into it a couple times and have never been able to get any traction.

          The big road block to a group buy on powder is having the facilities to receive and store it. As the sales rep for the powder wholesalers told me " Others is no way I can deliver 300 lbs of powdec to a residential neighborhood." Setting up the proper facilities in a commercial building takes $$$ with permits, storage regulations and a sprinkler system. Not to mention liability insurance. I just don't see it happening soon.

          But feel free to beat your head against a brick wall like I have over it.

            I did a group buy in ~2007 I think. I was over 150 lbs. (two hazmats at that time)

            edit to add it is scary to put out over $1,500 and hope everyone comes through.

              My wife would be mad but I'd look at the bright side if half fail to pay me I'm set on powder for a good year or so. Lol
