What is the best place to buy primers and powder lately? My most recent supplier is getting out of the business and I’m sucking fumes on most of my commonly used powders and primers. Most likely will be looking to place a bulk order in the coming months. Seems like shipping/ availability is the biggest decider in suppliers. I will be looking for:

8lb hodgson H-380
8lb IMR-4350
8lb hodgson Longshot
& maybe a lb of CFE223 to play with.

3000 CCI BR2
2000 W209

What’s everyone’s favourite supplier?
 
Personally I use budget shooter supply for everything I need with reloading I’m pretty rural and he’s the only one I’ve found willing to ship at a reasonable price (in my opinion)

I know he has a few of those powders but I think it’s mostly cam pro for primers right now, hope this helps

Also I’m in Newfoundland so my pretty rural is other peoples desolate

Higginsonpowders has all the powders in stock that you've listed, and they're a bit closer to you in Ontario. No luck with primers though.
 
Mom and pop don't have very much stock these days !! Same answer every time you call...sorry :(

W209's are no where to be found for the past 2 yrs. You MAY find a brick now and then if you're lucky enuff to afford them at the greedflation prices guys are trying to cash in on with them...dollar a primer...how fn greedy is that.??

Most guys I know are using Cheddite's for the past couple yrs. Lots of them around most places. Still some Longshot around here and there...8 lbers too.
you almost need to check daily for supplies. I see some new stock Remington primers hitting a few places. Got some sm rifle BR last week. Who knows, just maybe some new LR and LRM will soon hit the shelves and websites.

Best of luck with it
 
Cheddite primers are bit hotter, but there is a lot of tested powder company loads with them now. The compliant is from Browning O/U lower firing pin piecing them. Ginex LR primers are said to be pretty good.

Higginsons will be the best deal on powders.
Large Rifle primers you got a choice between Ginex and Ginex, $200-$250/1000.
Not much available. Lots of small rifle primers around.

And cheddite and cheddite for .209. I was able to grab 2000 ginex LR primers for $175 per 1000 shipping wasn’t horrible.
