I have been buying for years. No shortages at my house. I did go by Sportsman's Warehouse today and the shelves were getting kinda thin. I went ahead and further reinforced my supply of powder and relieved them of their last Federal Match Small Rifle primers 4 lb keg of WSF, and a pretty good slug of Varget and TAC. Several people were buying reloading presses and components. One guy was looking thru a book as he was trying to match up the powders left to what he needed.
A lot of people are buying new reloading outfits. They are behind the curve. They shoulda bought years ago. In my opinion you buy reloading equipment and supplies to stave off inflation and shortages in the future. People buying now could save a bundle looking for used equipment but most don't seem savvy enough to do that. Oh wait... they are panic buying.
