. So there it is. If you buy 8lbs of powder as opposed to 1 lb I bet you would really be getting more bang for the buck as well in regards to the HAZMAT fees saving even more. I was disappointed that there weren't a little better deals but hey it is what it is. Still had fun today.Search found 2 matches

Re: Gun Show for Powder and Primers?
Ok just got back from the show. Here is the deal. It is pretty much break even if you order online vs. gun show prices. I priced H 4895, CCI large rifle, and sierra MK. I compared the gun show prices to those listed on Powder Valley Incs. Web site. The prices on the web site are so cheap that out of the three items you make up for the HAZMAT fee. For all three items it was about 98$ total both online and at the show. I am not sure what shipping is for Powder Valley orders but I imagine it is not really that bad. It will probably cost more to go to the gun show if you figure in sales Tax, gas money (getting more expensive), and the gun show entry fee. Of course I usually don't factor in the gun show expense and gas as I figure I am paying for the experience to go look at a bunch of guns . So there it is. If you buy 8lbs of powder as opposed to 1 lb I bet you would really be getting more bang for the buck as well in regards to the HAZMAT fees saving even more. I was disappointed that there weren't a little better deals but hey it is what it is. Still had fun today.

Gun Show for Powder and Primers?
Hello all,
My Lee 50th anniversary kit has recently arrived. Now I just need bullets, primers, and powder. There is a Conroe gun show tomorrow so I was thinking about driving that way to check it out. Do gun shows usually have decent deals to pick up the primers and powder? Is there still a hazmat fee associated as there would be if you ordered offline? As you can tell I am very new to re loading and just trying to see if the trip up to the show would be worth my time. Thanks in advance.
