Buying Reloading Supplies in the Houston area

[Amistad]

Howdy, folks!

I have sorely missed the Sportsmen's Warehouse stores since they closed up shop here in San Antonio. I bought virtually all of my powder, primers and other supplies there. But, alas. They are long gone...

I'll be visiting over in the Houston (actually Missouri City) area next weekend. So let me ask you good folks who live over that way where you'd consider the best place to buy reloading supplies in that area? Thanks a bunch!

You have a Carters Country on Hwy-59 that should have everything you need. If you want to take the short drive down the beltway south, you can get to the Bass Pro Shops in Pearland, they have some there also.

It's on the NW side of town but 10 Ring is the best place I've found. They specialize in reloading supplies and equipment.

I was going to recommend Bass Pro also, but I guess there is one in SA too.

On a side note, I miss Sportsman's Warehouse also. They lost their bank funding when the economy hit the skids, and didn't have time to line a new one up. There are still some locations up north that were bought by a company in Canada, and from what I hear, they are just as good as they ever were. All of our locations down south got the axe. Hopefully they will return someday, but don't hold your breath.

A lot of Gander Mountains in Houston -- I think their reloading supplies are a little better than Bass Pro.

Thanks for the replies, gents. Yes, we have a Bass Pro Shop store here in San Antonio. However, the prices of reloading components there are the highest that I've seen in my area. I'll take a look next weekend at one or two of those places that you've suggested.

10-ring is good for reloading supplies. They have most everything Carters has, and lots of items that Carter's doesn't, such as Lee bullet molds.
The girl behind the counter is sweet.
I don't buy from Carters unless I have to. Ol' Bill doesn't care for sales at gun shows...and he has plenty of $ to enjoy his retirement at the Senorita Ranch or whatever its called. His homey sayings in the newspaper really choke me up - makes me want to cry.

Bill has been very anti-gun show. Correct me if I am wrong, but I understand he supported legislation calling for mandated background checks at gun shows.

...I don't buy from Carters unless I have to......

+1. Unfortunately, sometimes they're the only ones who have much reloading stuff. Gun Emporium in Conroe generally has powder, but rarely a selection of primers and very few bullets. (I've given up trying to figure that out.) I generally buy powder and primers locally and then get the bullets on-line from Grafs or Midway.

I guess I need to make a trip to 10-Ring.

i stopped by 10-ring the other day and was amazed at the selection their prices were very reasonable as well

Thanks rio grande,

I did not know about that. Now I they will never get my business at any of their stores, or their range. They have always been high, but convenient. Now I will make an extra effort to support their competitors.

Stopped by 10 Ring today and they are awesome! Anything you could need was in the shop and the service is top notch! Highly recommend them as your reloading needs arise.

I was told there is a store on the north side of Cypress-North Houston just before it hits 290 from the east. They are on the back side, not visible from the street, if I understood my buddy correctly. I will try to get by there since I'm also looking for a new warehouse.

Not sure if this is what you're thinking about, but Lohman Arms is off W. Little York just east of the 290/BW8 interchange.

No he's talking about the industrial lease spaces across from cyfair high school.

There's a gun shop facing the street, but I don't know of anyone not facing the street that sells reloading components.

 

[acorneau]

Gotcha.

Sounds like some "back door deals" going down. Hustling 22LR, no doubt.

Anyone know of a place in the Clear Lake area that carries reloading supplies? Need some small pistol primers, powder and some .355 bullets.

 

[kenpoace]
