Post Reloading Supplies & Ammo at Sportsmans (Fairbanks)
Just figured I'd give a heads up.

Was at Sportsman's Warehouse last night, and saw a bit of powder in there. Primers were mostly limited to shot shell, with some Remington 6-1/2 and smaller supply of Remington 7-1/2.

But they had 5lb jugs of Reloder 19, 10X, and had a bit in the way of Pistol powders in 4 * 8lb, 700X, Bullseye, also had large containers of Blue Dot, and a bunch of 1lb jugs.

Starting to look better, and ammo was fairly plentiful in there. Lots of UMC bulk packs of 9mm, 40, (only saw 1 .38 Special), a bunch of Winchester White box, and they actually had some Hornady TAP rounds. Still no .380 (that I saw), but everything else is coming in. Even some .22 on the shelves still.

Does this place have all reloading supplies and dies needed? Just curious because I plan on spending a lot of time on this for 3 or four different calipers.

Sportsman's has most of the equipment and items needed. Their stock has gotten a lot better recently, and being a chain store they don't carry as much of the specialty items, but they have most of it covered. Their prices are typically better than some of the local stores, but less overall knowledge.

They had a pretty bad go during the main ammo shortage, because they went through bankruptcy at the same time, but that shouldn't be an issue any longer. Their stocks have gotten much better since then.

Was just into SW a couple days ago again and they had a decent amount of powder, but WOW the primers. I saw about 30 cases (1000 ea) of primers, Small Rifle, SR Magnum, Small Pistol, Rifle Magnum, etc. Mostly CCI and Remington (some Federal). Most I've seen in a very long time. About $40 for the CCI SR (a little pricey still IMO) and about $35 for the Federal and Remington.
