I do my online purchases from Widners and in person purchases at Scheels in Reno. We have a Cabelas and Sportsmens warehouse but Scheels has better prices.

At this point I hope the bullets don't show up so I can at least make them refund the price of the bullets being as I'll have to eat the shipping cost either way.


You don't have to eat anything. Call your credit card company. Midway can only get away with it if you allow them to. My response would have been that it's "against may policy" and I don't accept the charges, wouldn't have purchased from them if they were going to stick me with the charges. You can refund my excess shipping charges or I can call the credit card company and dispute the charges...

Grafs and Brunos. Most places don't carry the stuff I need locally.

Mostly from Grafs but I do purchase locally at Cabelas or wholesale sports if I need it sooner than mail order.

Since Midway USA made their website such a stinking mess I don't even use them anymore their shipping cost damn near ran me off and the very poor website finished it.

I use Midsouth and Power valley or who ever else has the best sale price I can find online.

Since I hunt with Northforks, ya gotta buy direct from them. They ship in the post office, 1 price box. What is it? About $8.95/box or something?
For other bullets, it's usually Sportsman's here in Fairtown. Back during the 1st Obummer scare, I couldn't get Partitions here in town but I was able to order from Cabela's. Their price, with shipping to me was within $1.00 (literally) of what Sportsman's charged per box. Still have some of those bulletso n the shelf.
BTW, I won't consider Midway for anything, even T-P. Been ripped off by them too much.

I buy my supplies from my local shop, if they don't have it in stock, they can usually get it for me. Although, they can't get 300 SAUM brass for me, so I usually get that from Sinclair, because they ship from the same lot. I will pay a little more for quality and service, I also like to support my local buisnesses and economy as much as I can. Bullet prices are about the same when you figure in shipping and handling. Prices on primers and powders are way better because of the crazy hazmat fees one would have to pay if ordering online, and they can get every brand of primer and powder other than Ramshot which is a real pain in the ass to get on this side of the USA because of their dealer minimum order policy. Although, not a big deal for me, as I have family in Montana. grin
