Powder locally. Primers locally.

Bullets on sale or off the internet once you find out what your gun like to shoot.

Key is first find out what your gun likes. Then buy in bulk of 500, shipping should be bulk flat rate at $13.50.

If you shoot the right caliber (223 or 30 caliber) Cabala Hornady Zmax are very good bullet and seem to shoot well in all my guns. Its a Varmint/target bullet. $144 for 500 in 30 caliber.

Locally you save shipping cost but often bullets are not on any kind of sale.

First you want to buy 1 lb powder until you find a powder you like.

Then 8 lb just are the way to go. It saves money and it maintains a reserve. It does not look like a powder shortage any time soon but you never know. I had to do serious scrouiing to keep shooting and now I have 4 or 5 that I refill with 8 lb when I get low.
