If you're not willing to build up a good stock if the powders you use the most, then that's how it's likely to go. Buying online has the downside of having to pay hazmat charges, but buying 8-pounders can offset that expense easily and online prices for powder are mostly still very reasonable if you shop around. It's too bad the same can't be said about primers, at least not for te ladt couple of years.
Primers...I had to find recipes using magnum primers for my 380 and 9mm. I gave up on finding small pistol standards at a reasonable price.
