Hornady makes good bullets, Speer, Sierra, and Prvi Partizan also make fine bullets.

IMO Prvi gives you the best deals on bullets and brass. Federal sells unprinted brass for a good price too.

I order most of my stuff through Graf and Sons. Hint, they tend to ship orders at the end of the week.

When selecting bullets, general rule of thumb is faster the twist, the heavier the bullet. I wrote a small program that figures it out for you. It is a sticky.

Primers: CCI or Winchester Large Rifle have always worked for me. Never bothered with the benchrest or mil-spec primers.

Powder: I like Hodgdon powders. Varget, BL-C(2), H335, CFE223

That said, if another panic starts, it becomes a "get what you can that works" scenario. Go to any powder manufacturers website, they post reloading data with their brand of recommended powder.
