Its not surprising to me. More of the great unwashed are discovering reloading.That is interesting, didn't expect to hear powder availability was worsening (I'm well stocked now). I only joined the reloading ranks late last year, and outside of Dillon dies, have been fortunate to get everything I've looked for without too much trouble.
After ammo supply loosens up again, some will stop, having realized that reloading quickly becomes a hobby in and of itself. But for now, every day brings more reloader into the fold.
I have a crapy little place out of state. It works for me. Its also where I store my primers. At one point I realized that my primer stash was the most valuable thing in that place. ha. If you have an average primer cost of $25/thousand, not unreasonable if you were a savvy shopper. A $500 stockpile become $6000!!!!
