As the post title states, most people already know the info that follows. As my buddies and I prepared to put together an order for some supplies, we decided to compare how badly some companies are taking advantage of their (once)loyal customer base. I will go out of my way to avoid ordering anything from any company that knowingly gouges the consumer, especially in times of need(CTD). That being said, I will also promote and praise any company that goes above and beyond in customer service as well as pricing and availability. Here is the price difference between Powder Valley and a competitor that we will just refer to as Half-Way.
Sierra .338" 300gr Matchking(500) PV $364.44 HW $468.99
Sierra .224" 95gr Matchking(100) PV $37.96 HW $48.49
Lapua brand 338 Lapua Brass(100) PV $277.36 HW $369.99
Nosler .308" 180gr Accubond(50) PV $40.04 HW $53.99
Hornady .224" 53gr VMAX(100) PV $20.07 HW $23.99
Nosler 257 Weatherby Brass(50) PV $91.49 HW $123.99
A small sampling of just 6 items for our order, but telling nonetheless. Math on these identical items shows a total of $831.36 for Powder Valley and $1089.44 for Half-Way. Components are hard enough to find nowadays without being raped on the pricing of them. Just imagine what you could spend the extra $258.08 on at Powder Valley that you saved by not ordering from Half-Way. Powder Valley definitely gets the bulk of my business and will continue to do so. Not a rant. Just the facts.
