    Default Group buy: reloading components

    I'm looking to get together with some people to purchase reloading components in bulk in the Portland area.
    Specifically I'm looking for primers, 224 bullets, and surplus powder.


    Not having done a group purchase before, I'd also be ok with someone else doing the purchase as well.
    If anyone would be interested, chime in and let me know if you have some good ideas on the best place to purchase.

    I saw Wideners has wolf primers for a good price as well as surplus powder. Powder valley has cheap primers as well but no surplus powder. And I'm not sure the best place to find bulk 224 bullets.

    This is what I'm looking at currently:
    Bullets:
    Hornady 55 gr fmj: http://www.wideners.com/itemdetail.c...|281|1081|1141
    $430 shipped for 6000 = ~$72 per 1k

    Powder:
    WC 844 8 lb jugs: http://www.iidbs.com/hitech.zkb?9722...1&object-menu6
    $85 each, purchasing 4 waives haz-mat = $93 each shipped.

    Primers:
    Wolf primers, from powdervalley http://www.powdervalleyinc.com/
    There are multiple types of primers, most of them are $15.5 per 1k. A lot of mix and matching can be done. The more that's purchased the cheaper they are.
    Purchasing 10k, add $16 shipping and $25 hazmat makes them just under $20 per 1k.

    Hi Manchu,

    Not sure when you plan on ordering, but I have been checking this out as well. I may be in, but probably sometime after the holidays. Not sure what you are planning as the due date.

    Please PM me in Jan as well. I might be interested in 844/846 powders, 2k primers, and 2k bullets. I would need to check my finances beforehand of course

    I will pm everyone who has expressed interest in early Jan so I can get a firm count and hopefully place an order then. I plan on purchasing 1 jug, 2k bullets and 3k primers for myself, so hopefully will only need a few other people to have enough for an order.

    I hope to make a purchase before that time. I did get an email from Widener's the other day saying they ran out of 844! Hopefully, the supply lasts a little longer at hi tech

    Ha! It might be a while until there's a next one for me! If you are really interested, might I suggest starting a new group buy? Might need to wait a bit to get enough interested parties however.
