Academy on top of things..

[vmax]

Abilene Academy store just reopened in a new ,larger building
It has been super packed so I have not went in there till today

My son told me he saw some reloading stuff so that got me intrested
They had a fairly decent selection of dies and tools and Hornady bullets presses and brass

I noticed they had 30 06 and 25 06 brass
I'm not saying people around here don't hand load for those but they can't be that popular

That tells me that some purchaser in a land far ,far away pushes a button and ordered what he thinks they will sell

Our Academy has been selling reloading stuff the last couple of years or so. Saved me a lot of time because the next closest place is at least a half hour drive.

The local Academy here is the end of line store.
The store sucks but they do have a very modest selection of reloading supplies.
Its very disorganized and not cheap.

Also they have everything but POWDER
That's kind of dumb

Hmm. Ours almost always has titegroup, cfe223, cfe pistol, H110, longshot, and some others.

Mine too. They regularly have 20+ lbs of powder, and its stuff we all want. Varget, H335, H110, CFE223 and the like.

Academy in Waco has supplies, but usually only stuff I don't use. Not buying Hornady pistol bullets, don't carry powders I use, don't ever have the tools I need. Grab primers from time to time.

Maybe of they stocked some Berrys plated or something I'd buy more from them.

Good point on the bullet selection. They used to have amax's (before Hornady quit making them) which I got from them and they used to carry cheaper jacketed pistol bullets from Remington and Winchester. Can't really justify buying high-end Hornady bullets for plinking. I do buy their lead cowboy bullets for .38 spl because they've got the boxes of 300 and they're convenient.

Try looking in the gun cabinet for powder. That’s where the one here keeps it. But the usually only have CFE223, and BLC2. And a handful of primers sitting next to it.

Okay..I never looked there

I think the reloading section grows a little everytime I go in there.

They still don't cover my main needs but have just enough to load almost anything.

I know it doesn’t make sense. Also I would never store primers right next to the powder, but I guess that’s just me.

 

[Dawico]

I see it all the time and have no issues with it personally.
