Powder is cheaper at Recob's

If you have it shipped via SpeeDee Delivery you can save big $$$ on hazmat fees too.

The Alliant rebate runs through 6/30, so if you're not in a hurry for the powder, I'd suggest waiting. It seems like one of the big three (Midway, Midsouth, Natchez) runs a free Hazmat promo every month.

I am running low for my 6.5 Creedmoor but waiting for Recob's anyway. Its hard to find all the powders you want at one place at the same time! :-) Midway's free Hazmat is usually bogus though and tied to their expensive primers. Natchez wants you to buy some of their powder that is not selling.

As I mentioned earlier, if you can wait, it seems like someone is always offering free hazmat...

Natchez Shooters Supplies - free hazmat on orders of $99+

I saw that this morning but the site that @RipVanWinkle mentioned the cost difference of the powder already covers the Hazmat, I will not order powder from anywhere else going forward.

Well, just remember that Jeff Recob is the guy who thinks gun owners need to make some “common sense” concessions on gun control measures.

https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.jsonli ... /447982002

Jeff Recob, of Recob’s Target Shop in Prairie du Sac, is a good illustration. He doesn’t sell guns, but his family business sells almost everything else a target shooter might need, whether it's shells or shooting gear or reloading supplies. His livelihood and passion revolve around guns, which he said he views as simply a tool for recreation — “noisy golf clubs.”

He mistrusted Obama on gun rights. He is a member of the NRA, but “I don’t agree with everything they say.” Recob opposes a ban on assault-style guns like the AR-15, which he regards as a legitimate sporting and hunting rifle.

But he cited a number of changes he could live with — from limiting high-capacity magazines to tweaking the minimum age for purchase — even if some are anathema to hard-liners in the gun community.

“I can get myself in trouble with my customers but that’s OK,” he said.

Recob said he thought it was time for gun owners to make some common-sense concessions — "something that actually works" — in the firearms debate that is renewed by every mass shooting.

“We’re going to have to listen to common sense if we’re going to get anything done,” he said. “This has been going on forever.”
