buying in bulk?

You can get .223 bullets for about $.10 each at Xtreme, with free shipping. I generally go with coated bullets for handgun calibers, from SNS Casting, Bayou Bullets or Missouri Bullet, or plated from Xtreme. Buying at least 500 or 1000 at a time is the only way to go.

RMR has 55 grain FMJ's for $82/1000 and free shipping. If you catch a sale at Cabela's, you can get Berry's 55 grain FMJ's for $70/1000 and free shipping.

I'm getting super excited for having a range 10min away and reloading. I have loaded a hundred or so rounds and just bought 100 primers, 100 bullets at a time.

I will be shooting a lot more so will need more supplies. my questions are below.

I shooting 223rem bolt action and 9mm luger. I have 1lbs of h335 and 1lbs of benchmark, 100-cci-br4, 100-400 primers. I see h335 would be better with a CCI mag primer but not sure I'm going to use that powder exclusively cause I have yet to find the super accurate load.

should I buy a brick of cci-400 primers or experiment with 100packs first?

should I buy a brick of small pistol primers or experiment with 100packs first?

bullets-I would like to shoot plated bullets in 9mm for cost, should I try say 250 bullets of one brand first or just buy 1000?

i would buy a case of bricks,

I always buy in bulk, whether local (not much around here) or online. I try to buy a minimum of 2,000-3,000 bullets or 5,000-10,000 primers at a time. Powder is always a minimum of 8 lbs when shipped, but will buy a pound or two if in person.
