Is Reloading on the way out?

[gumpokc]

I've seen pretty much what the rest of you have.

We had a good store here in OKC that used to have lots of reloading equipment and supplies, more than anyone else.
Basspro ran them into the ground

Basspro carries some stuff, but their pisspoor attitude, and high prices really don't cut it.

Several others stores carry some reloading stuff, but they are usually willing to order for you, just they cant go making special orders of small amounts of oddballs products generally.

I have three places that i've gotten a good enough relationship that they will order me whatever i need as long as I:
A: realise they are not a charity
B: give them a little headsup if possible
C: provide them with the information for _exactly_ what it is I
want.

I don't mind paying a reasonable amount for good service, especially if it helps keep the local shops around.
Might cost me a little more shortterm, but it saves alot of headaches and hassles in the longrun.
