PRE-PANIC Powder and primer group buy
Mali:
I don't have my press yet but I am picking up supplies while I debate the merits of the various kits out there.
I will see what I want to do here, OTF and perhaps be ordering through you.
OnTheFly:
Two things to consider...
1) The price I get on these powder and primers will be considerably lower than what is listed on their website, as I'm getting discounted pricing. For example, 8# of Hodgdon CFE Pistol is normally around $140 + tax (~$9.80) (CORRECTION: I used powder as the example and I should have used primers) a 5K pack of CCI 500 primers is around $150 + tax, but I can get it for about $118 plus the HazMat & shipping split. Assuming we get enough people together, the savings could be pretty good.
2) You can find PLENTY of powder now, but the election in November could turn that around pretty quick. So what's the best way to prepare for the potential panic? Buy as much as you can right now! And how do you make your dollar go further to buy as much as you can right now? See 1) above!

I'm still on the fence. I need to save up for more NV, but this is tempting...

Sorry Robert. I just saw your post. Let me know what you are looking at and I will call to get a price. I know that there are some pretty good discounts on powder and primers, but I'm not sure about bullets. Of course, any non HazMat items will not be included in the split of the HazMat charge.

Sounds good. Let me know as soon as you can.
Thanks,

A little update for everyone. Besides my order, I have received pretty firm commitments from a few people. Most people are just looking for primers, but from what people have told me what they want, the HazMat and shipping should be a pretty nominal charge when split between each of us.
I have to go to work this next week, so please give me some time to call on prices and get an estimate on shipping. I can contact everyone to give them the estimate before I order if you like. If work gets crazy busy, this process may be further delayed.
PLEASE NOTE: in order to get their dealer pricing, I have to mail them a check, certified check, or money order. Of course, with a personal check, they will wait for it to clear before they ship so I will try to get to my bank branch to get a certified check to expedite the process. Regardless, this will slow things down a little as the check travels via snail-mail to Graf & Sons.
LAST THING: Could everyone PM via Facebook, or NFOA with your email or phone number where I can contact you? Let me know if you prefer a phone call or text message. I will use this to get in touch with everyone when I have an estimate and am ready to pull the trigger.
