I ordered my Reloading set-up this past weekend. I did a lot of comparison shopping on the net and found that Factory Sales LLC had the best prices and Natchez Shooters Supplies a close second. From Factory Sales I got:

Lee Classic Turret $84.48
4 hole Turret $9.98
2 Round Die Boxes $2.30 (each)
38sp/357 Lee deluxe 4 die set $33.28
45 Colt Lee deluxe 4 die set $33.28
shipping $17.90
Total $183.52

I ordered on saturday and on Monday their website said all had shipped (except 45 colt dies--backordered). Don't have it yet but I expect soon.

After some advice here I decided to go ahead and get the Lee Safety Prime and Lee Pro Auto Disk Measure. Decided I might as well go ahead and get my 9mm dies while I was at it (only need 45acp now).

I thought I would try out Natchez to see how I liked them. So on Sunday I ordered from Natchez:

4 hole Turret $7.99
Lee Pro Auto Disk Measure $32.49
Lee Safety Primer (large & small) $18.99
9mm Lee deluxe 4 die set $34.99
Universal loading tray $5.99
Shipping and Insurance $14.47
Total $115.00 (rounded up to NRA donation).

Paid Sunday with my debit card and it got here today! The charge hasn't even posted to my checking account yet.

So I got (I think) everything I need (for now) to get started on all my main calibers (I already have books and got scale, caliper, another loading tray, Lube, and Lube tray in trade) for a total of $298.52

Anyway sorry for the long post, but I have to say I am impressed with the prices and speed of Natchez Shooters Supplies.
 
THey're a good company. I've got them bookmarked, along with MidwayUSA, MidSouth Shooters Supply, Widener's, and Powder Valley. If one of those five don't have it, it's Brownell's.
 
I recently received my first order from Powder Valley. 8lbs of powder and 1000 primers, shipped with the hazmat fee, was still cheaper than buying it locally. Very fast shipping, I'll buy from them again.

It seems most of my local suppliers haven't heard of the internet as they price reloading supplies like they are the only game in town.
 
Unfortunately, they don't ship within TN, which is where they're located and where I live.

Go figger....... :confused:

I deal with Midway and MidSouth mostly.
 
Uncle H - I believe Chattanooga has an agreement that they would not compete with their dealers in TN since they started out wholesale only. They make deliveries to their dealers with their own truck fleet. I can understand where you are coming from, but I also understand the need not to compete with your dealers. I've been to their facility and came away very impressed.
 
I have ordered from Natchez, Factory Sales, Midway, and Powder Valley. I like all of them. It always pays to compare prices and also to calculate the shipping charges on their sites. Depending on what you buy, sometimes Midway will have slightly higher listed prices, but the shipping might be a lot cheaper. You never know until you total it all up.

For powder and primers there is just no competing with Powder Valley.

And if you're needing cast bullets, it would be hard to beat Missouri Bullets for price and service.
 
Good deal you got. Just to add this, the owner of Factory sales is extremely knowledgeable about Lee equipment and is real close to the factory. Just in case you need help or more equipment.
 
Jed,

You'll probably want to order the riser so that your auto disk will clear the primer tray. Also, you'll probably be wanting to get the adjustable charge bar so that you can dial in the exact amount of powder you want. It's useable the way you have it, but you'll see what I mean about the riser pretty soon.

Maybe the disks will come close enough to your desired charge weight, but if you're into experimenting with loads, it's nice to be able to pick the powder weight down to the nearest 0.1 gr for pistols. That's what makes the adjustable charge bar so nice.
 
I like Natchez and have order many things from them in the past. The only issue I have with them now is, they have gotten a little on the pricey side. Seems their prices are many times much higher than their competitors.

I buy from Powder Valley and Midway. Midway a lot but would like to check out Natchez. Could someone post a link? Greatly appreciated.

I've used Natchez and they've given me great service. My only hesitation with buying from them is that they have taxable nexus with Florida so they have to collect state sales tax from me.
 
I ordered some stuff from them on Monday, got a sale email on Tuesday and the rangefinder I ordered was $20 cheaper than I paid. Called them today and they credited the $20 back. Whole thing took about 3 minutes and they seemed happy to do it.

Not my first time buying from Natchez and won't be my last
 
I agree that other than the website being hard to navigate I think theyare the best thing going in reloading shopping.

If anyone on this board is connected with Natchez please note:

Y'all are awsome
Your website is not awsome;)

Seriously I have a hard time finding what I want but when I find it, it is usually the best price.
 
Folks at Natchez have given me excellent customer service.Frankly,outfits like Midway,Natchez Brownell's and other successful suppliers in the shooting sports,are pretty doggone excellent.Graf's is another.
When I have called Sierra,Hogdon,Nosler,Hornady,etc,they took time to take care of me.We have it pretty good,I think.
 
Don't know about Natchez but Midway is really quick about getting stuff shipped out. I ordered some stuff on Friday and had it on tuesday
