1. Bruno Shooters — Primers on Sale, Free Shipping, Free Hazmat

⏺ With 5K Primers Sealed Case $0 Hazmat and FREE Shipping

Primers are still in short supply these days. Some sellers are still charging over $200 per thousand. But Bruno’s is running a Springtime Primer Special that can save you big bucks. And if you purchase a sealed box of 5000 primers Bruno’s includes FREE HAZMAT and FREE Shipping. That can save you $50-$70 per shipment. In stock now are a variety of CCI, Federal, and Remington primers, with some European primers due soon. Prices start at $92.95 per thousand, with 5000 minimum for free shipping with $0 hazmat fee.

2. Creedmoor Sports — American Bullet Company Match Bullets, $18.95 – $38.95 per hundred

⏺ Top-quality bullets at half what some others cost

Creedmoor Sports has a new line of American Bullet Co. Match-Grade Bullets. These .224- and .308-caliber bullets are first run — no blems or seconds — with all bullets in each box from a single lot. A great value, these bullets let you shoot more without breaking the bank. The .224 bullets are offered in 75gr HPBT, 77g HPBT, and 77gr Tipped. The .308 bullets are 155gr, 169gr, and 175gr HPBT.

3. Midsouth — New Frankford F-1 Single-Stage Press, $128.99

⏺ Versatile press, built-in light, good primer exit, plus FREE shipping

Here’s a handy, single-stage press with some cool features. The new Frankford Arsenal F-1 press has an open front for easy case placement, plus a built-in LED lamp at the top (great for inspecting cases). And after decapping, spent primers go straight down a tube into a catch cylinder (as on a Forster Co-Ax). We think this would be an excellent secondary press used for decapping or bullet seating. The intro price — just $128.99 at Midsouth — is a great deal as you get FREE Shipping. NOTE: This press does NOT have priming capability — you must prime cases with a separate tool. Also, the power cord for the LED light is NOT included. For more details see Frankford Arsenal F-1 Press Review. Here is a review from a recent purchaser: “Amazing press for a great price. The ball bearing ram is smooth and feels right. The leverage is great and all-around operations of the press are [excellent].”

4. EuroOptic.com — Vortex Scope Close-outs, Save 44-54%

⏺ Massive discounts on Vortex scopes for PRS/NRL, varminting, and tactical

EuroOptic.com has Vortex Close-Out Optics sale, with savings of 44-54% on nine scopes and two deluxe Red Dots.

5. Midsouth — Aguila .22 LR Ammunition, $34.99 500 rounds

⏺ Large variety of Aguila rimfire ammo at great prices

With the high cost of centerfire components (bullets, brass, primers, powder), more folks are shooting rimfire rifles and pistols. Right now, Midsouth is running a major sale on Aguila rimfire ammo. Choose standard velocity (1130 fps) or high-velocity (1255 fps), solid point or hollowpoint. Ammo starts at just $3.49 for 50 round boxes of 38gr or 40gr ammo. And if you need large quantities, you can get 2000-round bulk packs for just $119.99. That works out to just $0.06 per round — a steal. For varmint work, consider Aguila’s 1700 fps Hyper Velocity Supermaximum 30gr ammo, priced at $7.49/50 rounds.

6. Precision Reloading — Lee PRO 1000 Press Package, $189.99

⏺ Amazing deal on Progressive Press with case feeder for loading pistol ammo

If you want the efficiency of a progressive press, but have a limited budget, consider the Lee Pro 1000 Progressive Reloading Press. This reloading kit includes 3-station press, dies (Carbide FL Sizing, Powder-Through Expanding, and Bullet Seating Dies), 3-Hole Turret, Shell Plate, Powder Measure, Universal Case Feeder, and priming system. Yes that’s right this $189.99 Kit includes the case feeder! Foe the $189.99 sale price you can order the kit for these cartridge types: 9mm Luger (9x19mm), .38 Auto/.38 Super, .38 Spl/.357 Mag, and .45 Colt. Just get other dies to load other cartridge types. NOTE: Lee cautions that “Only CCI or Remington brand primers are safe to use with this press”.

7. Palmetto SA — Leupold LRF and Binoculars Combo, $50 Off

⏺ Great price on Laser Rangefinder and Binoculars bundle

Here’s a nice Leupold Optics Combo for a hunter/varminter. For just $279.99 you get BOTH the Leupold RX-1400i TBR/W Laser Rangefinder (LRF), plus the quality Leupold BX-1 McKenzie 10×42 HD binoculars. The RX-1400i LRF is rated for 1400 yards, and offers angle ballistics correction. The display is bright red — good for both sunny days and darker dusk/dawn conditions. The binoculars come with GO Afield shoulder strap, binocular case, lens covers, and lens cloth.

8. Palmetto SA — Taurus TX22 Competition, $415.36

⏺ Affordable .22 LR match pistol with compensator has earned positive reviews

Rimfire pistols let you enjoy action pistol competitions without spending a ton of money. Among .22 LR pistols, the Taurus TX22 Competition SCR offers great performance for the price. The TX22 Competition SCR builds features a precision-engineered slide and match-grade bull barrel. The “skeletonized” slide with enlarged ejection port is designed so that a red dot optic can be mounted to the barrel. That helps prevent problems during ejection of empty shells. Taurus claims this mounting configuration enhances accuracy compared to a slide-mounted optic platform.

9. Amazon — NEIKO 6″ Digital Calipers, $25.89

⏺ Good, reliable digital calipers at attractive price

Every handloader needs to measure shoulder bump, cartridge length, and other dimensions. A good set of calipers is essential. If you need calipers, check out the NEIKO Electronic Digital Calipers. The tool’s body/frame is constructed of finely polished stainless steel with a knurled thumb roller and locking screw that ensures smooth sliding and accurate positioning. If you’re getting started in reloading or are looking for a back-up set of calipers, this is a good option.

10. Amazon — Ear Muffs (assorted colors) 26dB SNR, $15.99

⏺ Good compact muffs for the price with a good 26dB SNR

We say it all the time but don’t ever shoot without quality hearing protection. Consider these Vanderfield folding ear muffs. Priced at just $15.99, these come in a variety of colors (black, brown, green, gray, red, purple, pink) so you can easily tell yours apart from others. The 26dB SNR sound protection rating is above average for compact muffs. For maximum protection use plugs under the muffs. (FYI, “SNR” or Single Number Rating, is the EURO equivalent of the NRR noise rating in the USA.)
