Best place in Alberta for Powder and Primers?

[Haagen_Dazs]

I'm moving from one end of the country to the other and I'm going to make the most of it by picking up powder, primers and bullets so I can save on the massive shipping costs usually associated with these commodities. Because sales taxes are cheaper in Alberta, I'm wondering where all you Albertans get your stuff from. Wholesale Sports, Cabelas, or somewhere local?


Thanks for the help!

Isn't the Bullet Barn located in BC?

marstar is not far from Higginson's. Higginson's also sells hornady bullets as you probably now.

Bullet Barn is on the Sunshine coast, so if you buy directly from them and live on the mainland, you pay shipping or a ferry ride.
Rusty Wood trading company in Mission also carries BB bullets - the shipping.

What's the fee for dropping me off a few 8lb'ers and a few thousand 55gr .223 fmj projectiles here in NB?

Just tell me what you need from where and I'll see if I've got the room in the car.

Thanks for the bullet barn and Rusty Wood recommendations. If I'm going to buy lead cast I can get them from private sales for cheaper and it looks like Rusty wood doesn't do plated bullets. I sent them an email anyway.

Buy what you need before you hit the NB border. There isn't much available here in the Maritimes.

Higginson Powder also sells berry bullets, I just got some from them.

Plated projectiles. You could try can-pro in montreal. I know they were offering some discounts on bulk purchase.

Good service but shipping kills any savings you may get.

If I were buying Hornady bullets I'd get them from P&D and they also have decent buys on the ZMax bullets in the 500 round boxes. I just got some in 40gr 224 for 80.00. Primers in eastern canada seem to be a lot cheaper than out west.I have paid as much as 40 per thousand a few years back when they were tough to get, but they last forever and you can't load with out them.

Thanks for the tip. I had to pay more than $40 for the last 1000 primers I bought in BC. I'd love to avoid that!

Contact Rayner Shine Gunworks. From Sask but they have an outlet in Redcliff AB so you can save the some taxes. They usually have a good selection of powder and bullets.

I WISH!!! I paid $62 at ATRS for 1000 CCI BR2s a couple of months ago, they may even be more now, lol.
