Home Forums Reloading Big Game Rifles Has Anyone Purchased Online From Bruno Shooters Supply?

Their website indicates they have some hard to find reloading supplies in stock. They seem legitimate, but I'm perpetually suspicious of unfamiliar websites, especially if they have items unavailable nearly everywhere else.

The last place I would buy from is Bruno’s. Not that they are unscrupulous but because their prices are always high. Benchresters and long range comp shooters are who they cater to and they don’t mind paying 20% + more for items.

The are the only source I can find for Lapua Brass in 6.5 Creedmoor. The price was good, given the current situation.

Placed an order with them Monday (because they were the only place that had what I needed - (400 gr .410 bullets). Tracking shipping says I get them in the mail today. Terry

This is exactly why I won't buy from them, they pulled the same $hit last time stuff was hard to come by.

Midway has 6.5 Creed, Lapua, small primer, $118.99.
Bruno's is selling it for $90 so I'm not seeing this 20% premium.

Midway is just as bad, did you look at Brunos hazmat fees and shipping costs?

I've been looking everywhere I can think of for Lapua 6.5 C Large Rifle. Out of stock with no estimates of availability except at Bruno's, which had them in stock. Since pretty much every other brand of cases for that cartridge is also unavailable, Brunos it is. Since starting this thread I emailed them and they responded pretty quickly saying they do actually have them in stock, but are a week to 10 days behind on shipping orders out. I think $90 + shipping is a decent price these days.

With shipping Bruno's is $105.54, still less than Midway.

I was in there a few days ago and they had a lot of Lapua brass. Their powder and primers are expensive but their pricing is still decent on reloading equipment and brass. They are always really busy filling mail orders when I stop in.

I have shopped at Brunos for at least 20 years. Their prices definitely rise and fall with demand, but they often have what you need if you are caught shorthanded. I have bought many components over the years at very good prices including volume discounts on Lapua brass etc. Won't be seeing that for some time I'm afraid though.

I paid 188.00 for 8lbs of accurate powder about 3 months ago at my local LGS, Brunos wants about 250.00 for the same powder add in there 37.00 hazmat and shipping.
If my local LGS can make a profit at that price and I know Brunos is selling a crap more than my local LGS.

Bruno's has been around for awhile. I never bought from them due to they were higher than elsewhere. In todays climate, if they had what I needed I would probably pull the trigger. Midway has exploited the market which kinda pisses me off....I've gave them a lot of business over the years.

I have bought a couple of barrels from Bruno's. Good experience.

Precision reloading had Lapua 6.5creed brass couple days ago.

I have bought Lapua brass from Bruno’s twice. If they had something I wanted I wouldn’t hesitate to use them again.

been friends with Lester since he was in Hazelton PA many moons ago, got some really good buys off him when he moved to Arizona and needed to clear out inventory. my to go guy when I need a BAT and Stiller actions

Bruno's can be very deceptive on shipping charges.

Their shipping and "HANDLING" charges for an online order can be shady, which have been added on later twice on my orders.

Other times, there were no surprise hidden fees.

If you buy from them, call and ask for the final total charge before making a purchase and carefully check your monthly statement.

I agree completely, sometimes Lesters shipping charges are completely outrageous and other times seem normal.

My biggest beef is when the pandemic was at its worst so was Lester, he was the worst gouger on the internet. now that things have backed off a bit so has his gouging................will always try and find elsewhere

No problem with them from me… ordered multiple times - no hitches.
