Depends, watch for specials. We have a local guy that has his dealers. 4-6 of us go together to buy large amounts of powder, primers bullets and brass and split it. Saves shipping, we get dealer prices and we get quantity discount.
Plus just keep an eye out for "good deals", stock up and if in a bind, the local gunshop or Sinclairs.
I am a Hunter Ed instructor, most catalog places will let me buy at dealer. For example Midway will. Mftrs will also give big discounts, my price as Hunter ed instructor with leapold was $575 for 8.5x25 LR. You only can pickup one a year at those prices but well worth it and I enjoy teaching the classes. Something to look into. NF will not give discount guys.
