I am not going to make this a poll becuase there are way to many bullets to consider and it would take 3 days to type it all in.

For those of you who reload What bullets and what powder do you buy most.
Don't give me your loading data, this isn't the place for that. I just want to know what would sell first so I can stock my store with a little more knowledge than I possess now as a part time reloader.

America!
.308 Sierra Game King 165 grain, maybe 1 box of 100 every other year.
.223 Nosler ballistic tips, 55 grain, 3 or 4 of the 250 bullet box a year.
.243 Nosler ballistic tips, 70 grain, 1 or 2 of the 250 bullet box a year.
.308 Nosler Accubond 180 grain, 1 box of 50, maybe every 3 years.

Now pistol calibers. I have purchased a lot more. I would suggest trying to be a distributor for J&K cast bullets. Then pick a big name such as Speer, Hornady or Sierra and carry some JHP and JSP and FMJ in popular calibers. It would be tough to carry everybody choice of manufacturer so pick one and carry their line.

my .45 and .38 hasn't seen a jacketed bullet in years, I think but can't confirm that for every major pistol caliber bullet at least 10 lead bullets are shot for every jacketed.

A highway near you.
For rifle;
.223
.308
I like buying either the Winchester bulk or Hornady bulk.55gr FMJBT for .223 and 147gr FMJBT for .30
For pistol
9mm
.45 ACP
I shoot a lot of J&K bullets in 125 gr and 230gr. However I will occasionally buy FMJ in those two calibers if I find a good deal in bulk. Again usually Winchester or Hornady.
Powders for rifle;
I use a lot of AA2230 and H4895.
Powders for pistol;
WST
HP38
And you might want to lay in a good supply of primers. Im partial to CCI but they are all good.
