Even if you can find stuff, The hazmat fees and shipping will crush you on primers and powder.
They are out there, though, even online, but they cost so much nobody will buy them. Came across some rifle primers the other day for $160/1000. They used to be $40. It's highway robbery. People used to be able to Tinker with hunting loads for dirt cheap, but no longer.
I have heard that Bass Pro gets primers sometimes and sells them for about $70/1000, but it's a total crapshoot what comes on their truck and what doenst.
As for websites, there are dead giveaways for scam sites. Just go to their "contact us" section and find the address. It's usually a random industrial building with no signage on Google Street view. Stay away from those.

If one's buying only a pound or two of powder, the S&H and hazmat fee indeed can get expensive. I also try to get a friend or two go in a powder/primer order. It works best if one can order larger quantities of powder. When I bought 8# of CFE 223 from Midway, including S&H and hazmat fees, the total price was about $32/pound. Remember, Midway only charges $13 hazmat fee and frequently has free shipping available for orders >$49, as well. OTOH, my closest powder dealer is selling powders from $45-65/pound. Primers are a different issue entirely since I've not seen online primers that were reasonably priced in 1 1/2 years.
