Buying powder in the Calgary area

[Shibby!]

canadianbdx has a $500.00 minimum?

"We don't have a retail store, we limit any resale items to being bulk, prepaid, and arranged for meeting to pickup, and a minimum of $500.00."

Might be wrong but that's how I read it.

We have a group bulk buy over on AO every 2 or three months and bring in what ever the group needs from Higginsons. think they are planning on restocking Varget in april so that is when the group wants to order again. Last order was 59 pounds and shipping/hazmat to Loomis was still only $42.
Split 7 ways it was negligible and we still averaged around $28.-$30 per pound GSt included.
8 pounders were $200 and 7 pounders $175. 4 pounders $102.

I would certainly be interested in 4 pounds of varget. Would we just send an EMT to the "lead buyer" and then pick up the powder from their place.

Try Proline on 9th, they have powder.

Yes, Proline is my #1 local place for powder, usually cheaper than the 'big' stores too. Fly's etc in High River may have it too, might want to call first.

It used to be a minimum order of 2 cases, which works out to about the same, price-wise. I never ordered less than 4 cases from Kurt for a pick up order, so am not sure how he treats minimum orders. He really doesn't want to sell retail and sets limits to discourage it. Considering how much mark up the local dealers charge on BDX ammo, it is worth it (to me, at least) to get a few buddies together and buy a number of cases direct from BDX.

When talking cases, how many lbs is that?

I also didn't see prices on his page for any powder.

I think we have digressed from the OP, BDX doesn't sell powder that I know of. A case was 1200 rounds of 9mm or 800 rounds (I think) of .45 ACP.

BDX does sell powder and primers, or at least they used to, I know one fellow who buys from them but he is a very old customer of them, he says.
