I alway bought locally. That was before the internet & hazmat fees. It's been a while.
Ballistic products may be a good place to look.

I have heard handloading some loads are not worth it.

Dave:

I don't know about prices (you'll have to compare those yourself), but as far as selection for shotgun components, I have used the following with good results:

www.midwayusa.com
www.grafs.com
www.precisionreloading.com

For primers and powder:

www.powdervalleyinc.com

(but it is probably only worthwhile to go online for powder and primers if you can get a bunch of people to go into together to spread the shipping/HazMat fees).

Besides those mentioned, try:

http://www.conniescomponents.com

http://www.recobstargetshop.com/

But buy locally if you can. Shipping costs ain't cheap.

I'm guessing you want the Ballistic Products Ranger Plus wad. So I would go to their website if you can't find them somewhere else:

Looks like these wads are not cheap ($13 per 100) ... at least not compared to standard lead shot wads.

As I said in your original thread, ballistic products can't be beat for non-toxic loading supplies.

I use BPI and Precision Reloading. They both have things I need that the other might not have. PR has a good selection of hulls, and the Lyman SS manual specifies BP wads and cards. CB.
