Have you considered selling projectiles, primers, brass, and powders?
maybe dies and Lee parts ?
i know I would love the opportunity to purchase these from you

How does everybody else feel?


thanks
Walt
 
I'd like to see it too.

The old/original Lever Arms would occasionally have ammo cans full of pulled-down components.

We are edging towards this, we've started with Wolf cast lead projectiles - https://www.ammosupply.ca/shop/kit/263/ and will head into brass and primers for sure. We're also looking at powder but I don't think dies etc will be coming in the short time. Give us another year on that one!
 
I definately wouldn't rush into dies.

- There are a qui-billion places to order them online.
- They are unrestricted to ship from the US.
- They are a very durable good, so the used market flourishes.
- There are a crazy variety, so you need a big investment in inventory to sell a relatively few units.

While I'm obviously not in your shoes, I'd think a better option (for everybody) would be to offer great prices for drop-shipped dies. Because dies are very rarely an impulse or emergency purchase.

And if you are thinking of powders, perhaps give some thought to surplus powders, or maybe acting like an "order accumulator" for Higginson's?

This is absolutly spot on advice! Die prices are substantially cheaper in the USA, good 40%. My Nitride Hornady die set for my 357mag/38sp was $42 to my door. They want about $70 after GST up here for them.

I like the idea for the Higgonson Powder Accumulator, thats who I order through, not one place in town can come close to their prices because they dont gouge the consumer on markup due to demand and actually get powder in regularly.

Got all my dies from US, way cheaper, lots more selection, unrestricted shipping as noted.
