Last month I loaded 500 rounds of .45 acp with Bullseye and J&K bullets. I also loaded about 300 rounds of .556 with Sierra 69 grain bullets and Reloader 15. 200 or so 30-06 with different bullets and IMR 4895.
I load almost exclusively with H4895, BLC(2) and Unique but I buy 8 lb jugs and avoid the hazmat fees as best I can. I would not want to try to make money on stocking and moving such a commodity. Reloaders that I know are a pretty frugal bunch when it comes to components.
About the only time I pay a premium is when I want to try something new. I might suggest a small amount of each in a variety and keep your eye out for the new stuff. You might do well to offer a monthly "Buy" for larger containers to give the opportunity for the volume shooters to soften their hazmat costs by being your customers. Most powder buying decisions are all about the price out the barrel with great accuracy, cleanness and recoil perception.

When I visit my local gun shop it's always the same routine for reloading supplies. I'm looking for powders, primers and bulk bullets (250-1000 count) FMJ 38spec, 357mag, 45s, 9mm and .223. I use Varget, Bullseye, Unique, and HS6 powders.
