I am about to place my first powder and primer order and just want to make sure that this will be good to go before I hit the submit button.
I am ordering 5000 CCI 450 primers and 8lbs of Tac powder for to use in my AR15 with 55gr bullets. I was going to get some CFE223 powder but it looks like the Tac may be a better value because it used less powder per load. |

Quoted:
You need more powder. Get 8 more lbs to use up almost all those primers. (at 24gr / load = 2333 loads / 8 lbs) * 2 = 4666 loads / 16 lbs powder Well I can get the powder loacally but the primers are the part that I can't find lately. I also didn't want to go crazy on the powder just in case I dont like it and want to try something different. |

If you're having to put down the HazMat Ship money for the primers, might as well get a big wad of them at one shipment. +1 If it were me, I'd add anything to make the HazMat cost worth it... new powders you might want to try out, tracers (if they'll bundle), & lots of primers. |

Pssst.....
Hey fellas, ovoir here. (5000 primers and 8#s of powder adds up to a pretty hefty chunk of change.) Buy what you can budget. If it were me I'd be fine with buying some powder locally since you can. Focus on ordering the stuff that's hard to come by locally. |
