So I found a "new to me" wholesale outlet thats real close to me (50 minutes), its in NE Maryland.

They only carry AFW, Glorious and Orion brands.

Im only looking to buy 500g cakes and re-loadables.

Any suggestions under those three brands which are the best ones?

Thanks in Advance.

As far as reloadables go electric rain is the best they carry. American Chief shells are well worth the money. I don't think you can go wrong with any of their 500g cakes, I have shot most of them and never been disappointed with any of them. Depends on the effects you are looking for as to what choices to make. Check WFboom.com for videos.

Almost everything I shot was AFW and Glorious from WFBOOM. Those are there top two brands. They also carry Century and Orion, I was not two thrilled about. AFW and Glorious i have no complaints. Both have nice product. A couple i can recommend are, RE-LOADABLE: Electric rain, American Brave, Spirit of Liberty. 500G:Gold dust(step cake), Pure awesomeness(step cake), High stepper, Badlands, Vibrant, Pirates treasure. That's just a couple to consider.

Yea. I went to WFBoom and looked at the videos. You can clearly hear the difference in the breaks of lets say a 500g 9 shot Challenger compared to a 500g 32 shot Evil Serpent. I have a real sound system(Two 6" in 3 way studio monitors and 2 15" subs) hooked up to my computer, so I have the bass needed to hear deep thud and bangs. I was telling Dave a while ago, that when I was watching his Kellners Demo footage that my neighbor thought I was shooting guns in my house. LOL.
So Im pretty sure the vids from WFBoom are recorded with the same camera so it should be all fairly the same quality.

I went through all of the 500g repeaters and picked out the best sounding ones...heres the list I came up with and I cant wait to get my purchasing on soon!!

500G Cakes:
Liberty Parade 2/1
Pirates Treasure 2/1
One Bad Momma 4/1
Challenger 4/1
Mardi Gras Fiesta 4/1
Tropical Typhoon 3/1
Fatal Error 3/1
Badlands 2/1
Battlefield 2/1
Blast Furnace 2/1
Dual Wielding 2/1
Blast Radius 2/1
Scramble 2/1
La Dolce Vita 2/1
Epic Effects 2/1
Unleash the Power 2/1
Grenadier 2/1
Shock Wave 2/1

Re-Loadables:
American Brave 12/12
Electric Rain 4/2/6
Mortar Attack 3/24
Spirit of Liberty 2/48
