Where's the best place to buy these right now? Also, best place to buy 9mm/45/.223 bullets?

Primers, where ever you can find them. Some places get them and are sold out quickly, so you have to check often.

For bullets, I really like Rocky Mountain Reloading. rmrbullets.com. They make FMJ bullets in-house that cost not much more than plated bullets. But you can also check out americanreloading.com and evergladesammo.com.

Rmr is what I use, good stuff. They have went up on their prices a little and their wait times have come down some. My last batch late last year took almost 4 months to get. I like their 124gr a lot but have debated going another route so I don’t have to wait 8 weeks
 
For the bullets you listed I typically use xtreme. xtremebullets.com For primers... well I guess you haven't paid much attention in the past year and a half. IF you manage to get some from an actual online source, the going rate is around 75-90 right now for a brick of 1000, limit to one or two bricks, then add in hazmat, shipping, and tax.

Or, you can go to gunbroker and pay 200+ for a brick. Or, wait for someone locally to you to post some for sale on forums like this.
 
I snagged 2000 spp from Brownells for $190 (inc tax, shipping and hazmat) yesterday. This forum tipped me off to the in stock now status.

I grabbed plated 115 and 147 grain 9mm ball projectiles a few month back from Berry's. Can't remember pricing. I've also come across 90 grain 9mm solids from Lehigh Defense, and 168 grain Amax .308 has been found online and recently in Academy on the shelf (until I got there anyway). Also found LRP at Academy a few months back...this was the bigest score of the year because they were only $5 per hundred and I was able to snag 400 of them.

The delay really sucks, but they are getting better. They had a shortage of copper, and now have enough to keep them busy for a while, but are having a hard time getting lead. But the only thing they make in-house are jacketed bullets (they have invested a lot of money in bullet stamping machines). All of their plated bullets come from elsewhere, so they don't have much control over that. I use a LOT of their plated bullets.

The last "big scare" event in 2012-2013 caused me to stock up with supplies once they became available again. About the only thing I would like to get more of right now are some Zero 44 mag JSP bullets. Which reminds me, a good source for jacketed bullets is rozedist.com, but they have not had much available for a while now.
