What supplies do you want?

Primers and lead to cast bullets with. I have plenty of powder and quite a few rifle projectiles, but most of my pistol loading is cast lead.
Lead seems like it would be easy. Hit up the local tire shops and metal recyclers, right?
 
I was just pondering this yesterday. Are the LGSs getting re-supplied, or are they SOL, with all the current supply going to the big boys that had contracts in place?

I'm set for primers, except for small rifle, but I can probably trade for those. I'm set for powder, as well. Only thing I'd really like is some 30-06 brass to feed the Garand. I'd have to check, but I probably have only 100 rounds, or so.

If you are looking for pistol bullets, check out RMR. At least they are allowing back orders and I have confidence they will deliver, sooner or later.

As for primers, all bets are off. If you are willing to pay 15-20 cpr, you can probably get them on GunBroker.

If you're wanting 30-06 brass, jump quickly. Right now, the only brass I've seen available at my usual haunts in 30-06 is Prvi Partizan and Lapua. I just ordered another 200 pcs of Lapua 30-06 brass from Powder Valley. Mostly to just absolutely ensure I've enough to last until I expire. Did the same with my 7 RM and 6.5x55. BTW, Lapua is the only brand Powder Valley has on hand in 30-06 as of 20 minutes ago. Either Grafs, or Midsouth, does have, in addition to Lapua, Prvi Partizan.

The LGS, and subsequently us, from what I can ascertain, are pretty much SOL for at least the next year as it pertains to loaded ammunition, in almost every chambering. It's the same with components.

You'd think so, but most tire shops have gone to installing lead-free wheel weights, so they don't get many. I work at a Walmart, and the ACC has to send the lead ones in. (different routing and regs for the lead vs. lead-free ones) It's still worth an ask at other shops, but all the local ones either have at least one tire tech that shoots, or a buddy of the owner that does it seems.. Your most reliable source of lead right now is either someplace that sells shot for reloading shotgun shells, (an expensive way to buy it for molding bullets) or RotoMetals:

No, but I will share my source;

3K more SPP, and 2K-3K more SRMP would be nice. Bullets would be good to find, but not anywhere near as bad as primers.

Feeling the pain of being a new reloader, just glad I started at the beginning of the virus
