For the last several years I've enjoyed reloading and spent a good deal of time with the hobby. But that enjoyment has waned due to the lack of component availability.
I have enough reloading components to last a few years at my current pace of shooting, but I just don't have the desire to reload (and shoot) when I see the components dwindling and no clear path for replenishment. And at this point I have no interest in paying premium prices for components just to keep the hobby at the previous level.
I've been through these type of panic driven shortages before and I'm not wishing to blame anybody, just stating my current mindset. Hopefully it will be a self correcting issue and the desire to reload will return when components are readily available once again.
