Midsouth in my opinion is the cheapest. Natchez comes in second.

Since you are in MN, check out The Wolfs Den in Hugo (right off 35E). They have a pretty good selection, and their prices usually beat the online places once you add shipping cost. It is a neat old school gun shop to visit anyway.

A second for Grafs. Shipping is included in the price you see.

If you are like me, you will probably get supplies from all of them and keep your eyes open everywhere you go and pick up something when it hits your fancy from now on. Good luck. 8) Steve

I agre with callshot. I buy from Midway, Midsouth and Graf's. I shop the specials like my wife shops the grocery flyers. Always check all three when looking for a specific items. Their prices do vary- sometimes significantly.

Hi,
I mostly use Midway, Graf's and Ballistic Products myself. A buddy has Midsouth on his list, and Natchez comes up in the conversation every so often.
One thing I've learned over the years is to watch your TOTAL cost carefully. For example, Midway might beat Graf's a bit on an item's price, then charge enough for shipping to offset Graf's fixed rate shipping cost. Maybe a couple of vendors will even out otherwise, but the order includes powder and/or primers, and someone's having a "half price haz-mat special" and so forth.
Ya gotta watch carefully.
Then check the "In stock" status, too. I don't like placing backorders, but my brother in law does it every so often. He says Cabela's is his choice for "out of stock" items as they're a bit more expensive than some others, but offset that by handling his backorders better than some others have.
So that adds another thing to watch... all in all, I don't think I know anyone who's a "single source" buyer!
And, once you've ordered from them, most of the vendors will put you on their "specials" list. A lot of good prices can be had if you have Rainman's "shopper's eye" and keep it open for their flyers and e-mails.

Shipping and Hazmat fees have gone up significantly in recent months. And the rules for shipping are nutty. It isn't just about weight or size or zones anymore, plus there are USPS flat rates boxes. It pays to really look at the shipping costs. 8) 8)
