I have been away from reloading for a long time. What is the best source for Large Pistol Primers, VV powder and 185 gr. .45 lead wadcutter and .45 230 gr ball bullets?
I have just purchased Starline new brass for my loads.

Powder Valley, Bruno, Hi- Tech and sometimes Natchezz or Midsouth for primers and powders.
Bullets, HiTech, Zero, Magnus and Dardas. I'm sure there are more but I have used all of these and am satisfied. -- Bill --

With the hazard fees added for powder and primers you would be better off buying locally, talk with some shooters in your area.
If you do not know anyone, contact your state assoc, pistol director for shooters in your area.
Other stuff order online, magnus makes good bullets. He also carries zero.
Google for your needs.

Powder Valley generally has good enough prices to make it worth the hazmat fees if you buy in bulk. Get together with your friends so you can make a bulk order, or shoot Camp Perry every year and buy your powder and primers there.
Walmart generally has a pretty competitive price on Primers but at least the one I go to does not carry the powders that most people like for Bullseye.

At this time Bruno has a deal that if you buy 10,000 Federal primers, hazmat is paid. You will have to do the math on their primers and powders without hazmat compared to somewhere else with hazmat. I also like to know how much total shipping will be before I complete my order. I don't like surprises. Some places will combine powder and primers and others won't. Another I should have added but forgot is Wideners. You might even be close enough to one of these places to pick them up yourself if allowed.-- Bill --
