Powder & Primer Deals Today

Attachments

Realizing this location is out-of-the way unless you live in southern Ohio/ northern Kentucky, west of Peebles, OH on Route 32; stopped at Dailey's Outfitters after birding the Shawnee State Park and Forest (was able to get great views of one of the Mississippi Kites nesting in the Lodge/Cabin area, couldn't locate a Swainson's warbler).
Winchester 209 shotshell primers were $100 per 1000, Remington 9 1/2 Large Rifle Magnum primers were $109 or $119?, no Large rifle primers, Reloader 16, 19, 23, 33 ($65 per lb), I picked up a lb of Ramshot Big Game for $45 and a brick of 209 primers, etc. Most powder prices were $45 to $65.
Yoders Amish Market is nearby and you can get glazed donuts the diameter of your head. Seriously. The glazed pecan cinnamon rolls are a best buy.
 
MidSouthShootersSupply has Alliant Powders in Stock: Reloder 7, 10x, 15, 15.5, 16, 19, and 25 as well as Power Pro 2000.
 
I had occasion to be in the city last week and it seemed like all of the Hodgdon powders and some of the IMR were available in good supply. I noticed quite a few H4350 and Varget, mostly in the 1-lb. canisters but also a very few of the larger jugs. If you need it, get it while it's available.

Had to laugh at Sportsman’s warehouse today. They don’t actually have many powder so they spread them out to fill the shelf and make it look full. . .

I wish we had a SW nearby me. But we're about to get a Sheels just a hop from my house.

I used to travel for work, and Covid was awesome because I could drive. And I wound up hitting probably 27 different SW's along the way. Was talking to a district manager of theirs about it one time and he wound up giving me a nice discount on some primers since he thought it funny I'd covered 2x more stores than he had.
 
There is a cabelas and three sportsman’s warehouses within one hour ish of my house. I would skip all of them and go straight to Scheels-also within an hour.
I do have a favorite mom and pop gun shop nearby I visit weekly but scheels is heads above the rest in their hunting dept imo. We were buying fishing stuff today but I always check the other depts hoping to get lucky

I’ve got a cabelas literally a 15 minute walk from my house..

And I drive 20 minutes to scheels the vast majority of the time when I need something..

Bass Pro killed Cabelas unfortunately… I used to love Cabelas..

For those of us that remember what Cabelas was like back in the day it is absolutely painful to browse their website now.

You are going to love the Scheels!

Couldn't agree more. I was never a big fan of BPS but loved Cabelas. After the buyout, they just turned every Cabelas into a BPS with different name on the store front and killed all the advantages that Cabelas had.

Unless somebody got some in very recently, that is 100% more powder than all the sporting goods stores in the county that I live in combined.

Nugget here. A guide gave me the nickname as I looked similar to Nugent at the time. Hunting for over 50 years yet I am new to hunting in another country and its inherent game species. I plan to do archery. I have not yet ruled out the long iron as a tag-along for a stalk. I am still deciding on a short list of game. Not a marksman but better than average with powder and string.

may I suggest Intaba Safaris in the East Cape by Port Elizabeth, Eugene is a great guy, 2 of us will be there April 6th to April 14th. he does cull hunts(that's what I am doing) and if you go to his web site he is and offering daily fees of 200.00 and good cull prices. Thanks Jim
Everyone always thinks about the worst thing that can happen, maybe ask yourself what's the best outcome that could happen?
