primers are hard to find, especially CCI primers, but pistol powder is off the shelf here in GA; same for the brass and bullets.

Online places have ‘em, but what I don’t have a feel for yet is what is a good price, and what is a rip-off.

I can find plenty of primers around here. CCI primers were less than $30 before this nonsense started, I can find them for about $36/1000 locally, you can mail order them cheaper but you need to buy a lot to make up for shipping and hazmat fee.

Bullet prices vary a lot. I’ve started shooting a lot more 9mm because the bullets cost a lot less than .45. Missouri Bullet Company, you can get 500 9mm for $32. I bought some 200 grain 45 also but I can’t remember the price off the top of my head. They shoot well and don’t lead the barrel much. Precision Delta sells very nice target hollow points but recently raised their prices about 30%.

Once fired brass isn’t cheap anymore and 45 acp is much more expensive than 9mm and 40 S&W and harder to find but you can google and compare prices. Back in the day, not many people reloaded ammo and brass could be found for the price of scrap or frequently free.
