Clone of a National Brand of Chili Powder

Chef # 8654321's Note:

The chili powder I like has become impossible to find. I found out later that it's being discontinued. I bought a case of it a while ago but it's almost gone. So by using the ingredient label, the nutrition facts, and my digital scale I was able to come up with a pretty good copycat recipe. It's not quite as hot as the brand I used to buy but that can be fixed by adding more cayenne pepper. I'd rather have to add heat than to have it be too hot. I was mainly going for the actual flavor of the chili powder.
