Where is a good place to get bulk powder?

[Miller854]

Hey I was looking to see if anyone knew where to get some bulk rifle powder like H335, IMR4895, IMR 4064 or any powder for .223/.303/.308/8mm mauser? I dont need high quaility stuff just in larger bottles that are more than a pound that ship to the GTA.
Thanks -Miller854

Hummason is in Ancaster, best prices in the province.

Higginsons sells a nice surplus powder, WC785 (similar in performance to H335 and BCL2) in bulk for $17 a pound.

Thank you thank you. Now I will be finally be able to do some nice reloading without running out of powder every few days.

Actually the best prices are from John Emmett in St. Catharines. He's the importer for several powder lines including Alliant so he often has powder that no one else has. Unfortunately he doesn't ship and you have to catch him at home which isn't always easy. He's also a bit 'different' (will relate stories about UFOs, etc.) but he's an OK guy and his prices are the best For example, Alliant Promo is about $90 for 8 pounds, Red Dot for about $105, etc.

If you're in the area he's worth a visit.

How do you get ahold of Mr Emmett?

Probably a typo there; should be WC735

And yes John is an interesting person to talk to. Just be polite or you will face a very nasty temper.

"...dont need high quaility stuff..." Yes, you do, but the powder in kegs is he same as that in 1 pound containers. You may need to look at the silly laws about powder storage if you end up with several kegs too.

Anybody???

Higginson offers free shipping on orders over 21 pounds mixed and matched. I figured since people here have ordered from them they would know if Hummason does too without me trying to get a hold of them. If Hummason doesnt even though pricing is cheaper than its really not worth ordering from them over Higginson and Higginson will get my bussiness.
