So, I sadly sold my AR-15 and ordered a bunch of reloading equipment in the hopes to begin reloading for my Glock 20. My question is, where can I find decent priced reloading components, mainly brass and bullets, preferably Hornady 155 gr XTP's? I think I might want to use Starline brass since the reviews on their stuff seems great and their website sells 1000 for 147.00. MidwayUSA.com has the XTP's for 18.99 per 100. For powder, I'll purchase locally from Sportsmans Warehouse here since the IMR 800-x is 17.99 for 1 lb.
Thanx in advance for the much needed help.

The xtp's you'll just have to keep your eyes on sales. I bought an aftermarket Barrel and only shoot lead Hard Cast. I can load them to max published loads and cost 70-85 dollars per 1000. I do ccw hornady xtp's and have found them to a nice bullet. I love 800x but if you plan on metering it id go with something else. 800x is the best powder for handloading in my opinion. I also like Blue Dot for fun shooting because it is loud and flashy but it is dirty.

I have been Reloading for over 40 years & I have found the best prices for reloading supply is GRAF & SONS with FREE shipping. They Are great to order from & very quick to ship. I hope you check them out you will be glad you did.
True, hard lead works fine and I get some out of Oklahoma City these days 155gr I think and I run them hot. 7-8 grains of Win 231 if memory serves. I have a friend to gave me some NOS 180 grain flat nose copper clad I’d load for self defense. Depending on where you live you may want ammo off the shelf for defense and lead hand loads for the range.
