I cant find any reloading components that are readily available. Primers are the hardest to find. Literally non-existent. Powder and bullets are nearly just as hard to find, and prices are through the roof.
My competitive shootings days are over I think. Now I'm shopping for a new boat. That should keep me just as broke as shooting did.
Government has been issuing big contracts for ammunition not counting the military for at least twenty five years. They have successfully put many small to medium reloading companies out of business as main component suppliers kept increasing minimum purchase quantities higher and higher. This is nothing new - without ammunition all you have is a high priced rock or club!!!
Depends on caliber and demand. 9mm and .45 not too bad. .223 and .380 were both through the roof. Just had to suck it up on some RAS .223 because my tank was on E. Local shelves still empty at big box stores, and independent dealers still gouging at 75 cents/rd on just about everything. We won't see a real drop until product starts to stagnate on the shelves.
wally word in Abbeville, La has been getting some ammo, I bought 30/30 for less then $18 a box and 22 wmr for$11 a box. picked up a couple bricks of Federal 22lr for $18 a box.
Not great, but not a rip-off.
Have friends in Florida buying all the ammo they want at a Rural King, decent prices.
My son picked up a bunch of 9mm for $25. Its getting a little better, no doubt about it. Shelves aren't bare and the $$$ number is coming back to earth, slowly.

I haven't seen any Federal 40 S&W 135 JHP Low Recoil posted yet. It's my choice for HD, less likely to exit my house and into a neighbors. Last time I bought EDC/HD ammo it was about $14 for 20 rounds.

At my LGS yesterday, seemed like the loaded ammo shelves were well stocked (I reload so I don't buy much) but they had gotten a good supply of powder in and had primers. Not cheap, but it's been a long time since they had any.
.38 for 9mm at Fleet Farm. Keep on coming down....I'm running dangerously low, lol
