I live in the Knoxville area and have just purchased a Lee Progressive 1000 kit for 45ACP off ebay. I used to reload shotgun years ago but am new to pistol reloading. I went out to buy supplies and can't find any powder. Anyone know where I can buy powder and what brand would be best for 45?

I'm in Maryville and would be willing to sell a pound of Alliant Unique or Hodgdon Longshot at my cost to get you started.  Both have .45 ACP load data for their powders on their web sites.  If you have not found primers yet I could help you out there as well.  PM me if you want to discuss.

 

Also as stated above David is an active member here and will likely be at the Knoxville gun show Aug 17-18.

Get a .38/,357 carbide die set so you won't have to lube the casings.
