I know someone in the market for approximately 80lbs of reloading powder. Is there a good place to get powder at wholesale for someone who isnt a retailer?

Powder Valley is about the best you can do. They sell retail and wholesale and are distributor for most manufacturers. Nice people too.
Any particular flavor of powder?
5 are under test. These include:Quote:

Varget (metering unit accuracy not so repeatable)
H335
And an oddball powder that I'm not going to bother to spell because it's a little to no info situation.
Another +1 for powder valley. From that list of powders you have ar comp would probly work well for you too.
So just two jugs of each type of powder?
No. He wants 77lbs of 1 type of powder, just hasnt determined which one yet. Those are the candidates. Someone sent me a good lead on BLC-2, so that's the next up for testing.Quote:

That is a lot of powder to keep in local storage. I think I would consider purchasing a surplus magazine or having some dedicated storage away from my house if I had the land for large quantities of powder and primers.
I also recommend PV, and it wouldn't hurt to give them a call to see if they could supply that much powder or make recommendations for where to look for a wholesale supplier. PV is located just south east of Wichita KS and they do pick up sales. It is an easy drive from there to anywhere on the front range. Very nice people and easy to do business with.
We have received a few resources to obtain some of the powders on the list.Quote:

Is he going to be done in a week? I'll be heading back through there soon.
