Luckily I have enough primers to go a while, the rest has been doable. For the 9mm I often load 115 grain RN for casual use, Extreme Bullets had them very recently.
One has to adjust a bit if what they want isn’t in stock, try something new.

They are not. Not any of the stuff I normally buy and shoot at least...
And what is available has gone up in price a good bit from where it was a year ago.
On the bright side - I did score a used but well cared for Eastwood powder coating setup today for fairly cheap. If I ever get to where I want to shoot lead over jacketed to save money at least I will be able to coat those bitches first and avoid the lead fouling.
I have plenty of specialty bullets (like 155gr .308 Nosler Custom Competitions). It's just the "bulk" stuff that I'm still buying — not because I'm running out of ammo, but because I'm down to a couple thousand projectiles, and I like to have a big stockpile.
I've noticed prices are higher, too, but I think Summers, for example, only raised his prices 5 or 10%.
That would suck. 10k primers is not good for much with no projectiles or powder to put over them...
A handful of years back I started keeping better track of my supplies via old school index cards. Very low tech but simple and effective. Those goofy index cards kept me very aware of where I was as far as my 'balance' of supplies and on more than a handful of occasions caused me to pass on particular sales of stuff I was semi well stocked on already and save / wait for the things I was low stock on to go on sale or be at a reasonable price point for me.
Yea,I get email alerts from Shooters Pro Shop all the time. Military/Veterans & LEOs get 10% off everything & shipping is $13 bucks for 1 Box or 100,,kinda cool cuz I have NEVER bought just one box, LOL Things move faaast as you would expect but they have been listing 168CC 30Cal lately a lot ! I don't need any but have grabbed some 22 cal 69grn & 77 grn CC the last month or so. Just keep your eyes peeled and move fast,LOL
