I am new to reloading, and aside from a few local gunshops, with high prices on reloading components, I only know of a couple places to buy stuff at good prices. I don't reload shotshell, but I know that in Ancaster, you can get good deals on pellets at Humasons, and good deals there also, for buying ready to shoot, flats of target loads, but I am more interested in deals for reloading 9mm, and .308. (down the road, probably 40, .45, and .223 and maybe more if I'm lucky)

A guy from the range I go to, suggested aimprojectiles, for 9mm, 40, and .45 boolits, and I checked there website, and indeed they are the cheapest I have found so far.

Does anyone have any suggestions on good prices for Powder, Primers, and rifle Boolits, in the Southern Ontario area ? I am in the Brantford area, and don't mind driving up to an hour or two, every so often to get my supplies, if they are good deals. I don't mind going anywere from Sarnia to Orillia, because I often travel to each of those destinations for other reasons, so its not really far out of my way to travel and get a good deal on components. So far, I found Lebaron's prices to be the best, but thats just comparing them to local shops, that are about 25% more expensive.

I'm not a super El'Cheapo, but I am starting to reload to try to save myself a bit of money, and to be able to shoot more for the price, in the long run. Some of the prices here on EE are quite cheap, but once you figure in the shipping, it really is'nt cheaper in the long run, so I would prefer to buy from a place that I can pick it up myself.




Thanks.

ou can get everything you need at Hummison's
 
Lawry's in Caledonia. Thanks. I believe I have heard someone mention that place before, but at the time I was'nt reloading. Glad it was brought up, because its not far away.

Thanks for the tips.
 
Hummasons does not carry rifle components, only shot shell. But they do carry a large powder selection.

Dont know what Lawrys has - never been there.

Triggers and Bows in Burford has everything. Pricey though.
Shooters Choice in KW has everything - resonable prices
 
Hummason has great prices on lead bullets. DRG brand. Also carry Winchester primers, maybe CCI primers too and powders for all reloading.

Lawry has best pricing on Federal primers. They also sell powder and have a small selection of lead bullets.

Both require 24 hours for ordering of powder since it has to be brought in from their respective magazines if you are picking your order up at their stores.
 
If you want DRG lead bullets you need to look up F.M. Shooting Sports (Based out of Guelph). Since they are his, his prices are usually $2-3+ cheaper for them.

DRG is some of the best lead bullets I've ever used BTW.

+1 for Frank in guelph, very nice guy to deal with and talk to
I get my powder and primer from him
 
As far as my shooting goes, I will probably get my boolits for my 9mm CZ75 Shadow from aimprojectiles because they are copper plated, and I would prefer to shoot them or lead. I am looking for the best prices on .308 boolits, primers and powder.

To be honest, I hate to shop from them because they are usually ignorant pricks, but Lebaron's in Missisauga is pretty cheap for powder, primers and rifle boolits. For me to drive 1 hour or so, out there once every couple of months is'nt that big of a deal...It would be worth it, than to be severely gouged by getting my supplies from Triggers and Bows, even though they are only 10 minutes away, and if I were to pay for there prices, then I'm better off just not reloading, and buying bulk factory ammo from a cheap online supplier.

If I can get my stuff from Lawry's then that would be good though because they are only 30-40 minutes away for me.
 
+1 on Epps. I love going there. That place has the most hunting/firearms stuff I have ever scene at one place. Talk about using your space wisely... The first time I ever went into Epps, I think I spent a few hours just looking at all of there stuff. You definetely can't judge a book by its cover. I don't know how they manage to have more stuff then a Bass Pro Shops or Cabela's, all crammed into a place about as big as rec room. Epps is my favorite gun shop in Ontario. I would prefer to go to Epps any day then to go to Bass Pro.
