Do you guys buy your powder locally or online? If locally where do you typically buy from?

Grafs. Not the best price but NO SALES TAX and the cheapest Haz-Mat fee.
Another place is Powder Valley. Kind of a mid-range in terms of pricing and no sales tax.
Midsouth has very good prices, very fast (rocketship fast) shipping. They get a lot of my business when I am in a hurry.
What you need to do is estimate your annual powder and primer consumption. Then double it. Ask your reload buddies to join in a group order (aim for 50 pounds). Find the best price for a complete order.
I have not bought powder locally in at least a decade. I have had a heart attack and cannot take such a jolt to my wallet.
If you ask why double it: The 2012 December school shooting caused such a hole in the reload universe it has only just the past six months healed up. And many will tell you prices have not completely reverted. This is 2018. Nearly 6 years of scarcity.

I've bought from Crossroads firearms off broadway, kinda near Skatetown and Mikes gun shop in Tazewell up the road about 40 minutes. I'd call before i went either place. The Halls Wal-Mart has some powder bullets and other RCBS stuff as well.

Re: Knoxville area reloaders
What caliber do you plan to reload? I've got a bunch of 30 cal stuff that I could get you started with. I usually order powder and primers from Powder Valley but when I'm not getting a lot of stuff I just pick it up at Outdoor Junction in Cookeville TN when I'm at our lease.

Re: Knoxville area reloaders
I get powder from either WalMart in Halls (small selection but it's close by) , Academy in West Knoxville or at the Monthly Gun Show

Fox and company has a good selection and inventory at normal prices.
