Didn't do a very good job hoarding

I ordered primers and powder from PV in April, October, and December. My December order was the same price as the two previous ones--$26 per K for CCI LPP and SPP and $113.50 for 8# of HP38. Still showing the same price, except for a small increase in the HP38.
Each time they did not necessarily have everything I wanted when I first looked. Some times they would have SPP and no LPP, or vice versa. Sometimes they would not have them in the morning, but would in the afternoor, or vv. But with a little patience I would soon find everything I wanted. Even on the Dec 30 order. It did take about three weeks to receive that order, rather than the normal three of four days.
Now however, this is on PV's home page:

BACKORDERS: (Effective 01/29/13 at 8 AM ET)
Due to the overwhelming number of orders and the extreme supply shortages we are temporarily discontinuing our policy of accepting backorders. Over the past two months we have done everything we can to keep up with the orders including hiring several new employees and working 7 days a week. However, recently we have come to the realization that we simply can not continue to take orders for items that we have no idea when will be available, nor can we expect customers to continue to wait 4-6 weeks for us to process their in stock orders. Orders that are placed for items listed as "Out of Stock" on the website will be immediately canceled. All customers who have backorders in our system currently will not be affected and these orders will be processed as soon as the items come available. We are extremely sorry for any inconvenience this may cause.

Just got to the bottom of my Bullseye powder. Somehow I had in my head that it lasts forever, and I had a year's supply on hand. Oops.

Gotta find me a four pounder somewhere. Going to have to order it and add in some other powders to make it worth it. Bummer.

Maybe we will see how power pistol works for target loads. I don't have high hopes for that experiment.

CCI, but they are NOT taking backorders at this time.
the reason I was asking is i put some winchester small pistol primers on backorder at PV january 7th and was wondering if they had gotten in any whinchester which could mean mine might be filled before too long.
 
Got an 8 pound unopened can of WW Super-Lite. You can use Bullseye data or the #14 Winchester loading manual
