VhitaVhouri N320 and N110 powder.

9mm, .38, .40 and .45 jacketed bulk bullets. Montana Gold is my preference but good luck becoming a distributor. Zeros are great I hear but hard to get sometimes so that might be a good sell if you can keep them in stock. If you could get into the Hornady HAP "blemished" I'd buy in bulk. Those are some good flying bullets.

In rifle: Hornady .223 55gr FMJBTs and a good match grade .308 165/168 grain JHPBT like Sierra, Hornady or Nosler, no real preference, they are all great.

IMR 4064, IMR 4895, AA2230, BLC2 powders

You might want to focus on powder and primers, since the hazmat fee of shipping those components makes them impractical to order unless you buy in bulk. Most of us cheap *******s use cast bullets, plated bullets, or cheap FMJ like Precision Delta; you would have to order them in huge quantities to be able to sell them at prices competitive with buying them direct.

I use Bullseye in both my 9mm and 38 Special reloads, and I like CCI primers. It seems like Power Pistol, Unique, and W231 are the most popular all-around pistol powders though so you might want to give them high priority.
