Prices are higher, but is anything not available now? Lots of rounds are not available now. just checked a few online and go no hits and the bullet choices that are available in several more popular cartridges are not what I really like in the, glad I reload. Best I can see they have a few selections out in lots of rounds but not much selection in then for bullet choices. Try things like 22 Hornet, 338 Federal, 358 Winchester, 375 Winchester.... What they do in limited runs have not been done since the "RUN" started and many will not be for a while. You might go in a store and see one or 2 choices of loads in soe cartridges but not the 5 to 10 there might be there in normal times. Glad I reload for about all I shoot.

Mainstream news might be fun to watch

I didn't know anyone that shot .357 didn't reload.

I don’t personally know anyone with a 357 mag that does reload…. They all have owned for years and never thought about the US being a 3rd world country supply wise.

Full shelves don't mean much when it's all 9mm, .223, .308, 7.62 FMJ. Try finding some real hunting ammo or reloading supplies.

That is also why if you don't, stick with NATO. Also why ALL avid hunters should reload. I don’t personally know anyone with a 357 mag that does reload…. They all have owned for years and never thought about the US being a 3rd world country supply wise. Then you have friends that never stopped to look around and see what has been happening for DECADES. Sure, it's a hard time to start reloading but there is never a bad time.
Pass the gravy.
