is a challenge anymore. But I just literally stumbled on this place that's actually nearby. My grandson told me about it and I stopped in yesterday. It's called Republic Ammunition located near Lima Ohio (he has a website you can search). This place is literally a hole in the wall location....but a very big hole in the wall. I've never seen so much powder in one spot. I was looking for large pistol primers adnd he had those for $7/100, everyone else around em wants about $12/200 for the same primer. His powder prices are very close to what Grafs or Midway USA would charge. Anyway, if you need powder and it's currently in production (he didn't have any Unique, which is a ghost anymore) he'll have it. I have absolutely no connection to this guy or business, just passing some info along for Buckeyes (or eastern Hoosiers) who may be in the area. For calibration the place is only a few miles off I 75 exit 120.

That is an amazing find, seriously, a local spot with primers at $7 per 100 when everyone else is gouging? That's practically a public service. Thanks for the heads-up, it's always the "little hole-in-the-wall" places that have the best stock and prices. If I'm ever near Lima, I'm hitting that Exit 120 for sure. Spread the good word

Real awesome intel...finding a local spot with decent primer and powder prices is a serious win these days. Thanks for sharing the tip on Republic Ammunition, especially for the Ohio and Indiana crew. I'll check em out
