Best Shops for Reloading - Vancouver?

[pontcanna]

I'll be in Vancouver for a couple of days soon and was wondering if I should load up on some reloading items. Any shops particularly good/cheap for cast handgun bullets, primers, powder etc?

try italian sports

I'd try Reliable on Fraser St before Italian, but both wouldn't hurt!!

 

[Gatehouse]

Both have pretty hefty prices on powder.

Why don't you try the bullet barn for your cast bullets?

Give Stillwater Sports a call. He has some stuff and his prices are decent. Also, it is in Ladner - not far from the ferry.

I actually went to both today, Italian had a better selection, Reliable seemed low on stuff. Both are about the same price.

For cast bullets check out OMA Products in Burnaby:

Al might also have the primers depending on what you want. Think he mostly has small pistol primers though.

For the primers and powder check out:
http://www.bcredneck.com/

Dave is in Chilliwack but he can likely meet you somewhere in Abbotsford. Call or e-mail first.

Thanks for the suggestions. I already deal with Bullet Barn, I was just thinking of saving on the shipping costs for lead and hazmat fees for other stuff. When work takes me out to the Valley (as it does a couple of times a year) I'll check out the Redneck in Chilliwack

For powder, bullets and primers, get in touch with John Parsons at Accurate Reloading. For brass, go see D.J. Friesen (bcredneck) at the monthly HACS shows. Al from OMA usually has a table at the shows too. Better yet, come on over for the 2-day HACS show in April.

Wouldn't that be Custom Reloading?

 

[bcsteve]

How's John Parsons for prices? Is he comparable to Russell's or Wholesale?

 

[HPL]

Wouldn't that be Custom Reloading?

Oh yeah, that's right.

And his prices are very comparable, if not better.

John's prices are typically better than Wholesale or Russell's. if you are going to be in the Vancouver area head up to Burke (Poco club) and buy off him up there. He keeps a van full of supplies. if you need his contact info his handle on here is Curese.
