[QUOTE="_CY_, post: 1553838, member: 7629"] you should handle RCBS and Dillon. RCBS is good for entry level and low volume experienced loaders both. the only one in Tulsa with any reloading inventory is Dongs. seems most folks only go there when they have to. one can tie up a HUGE amount of capital in reloading supplies. some which are slow moving. if it was me stocking, I'd stock the 20% of part numbers that move 80% of the time first. then add the slow moving part numbers later. it's hard to sell from an empty basket. folks generally like to support local businesses first. don't mind prices being slightly higher for in stock merchandise. but not double. this is where line like Dillon has an advantage. almost NO one sells much below retail. folks expect to pay full retail on Dillon products. Dillon must keep tight control over what their dealers sell $$ Dillon products at. most buyers are looking for the lowest deals vs seller needs to sell at highest $$ and still have customers. don't fall into the trap of selling too cheap... retailers generally need to make at least a 33.3% profit to stay in business. some folks have calculated profits wrong and gone out of business. if cost is $100 ... then you need to sell it for $150 to make a 33 1/3% profit.
