3 years ago the OP was not interested in reloading or buying supplies. Now he is. That is different from somebody who has been loading for 20 years and seeing these things happen. I sure did not see this one coming. I do have some supplies because I have had a continued interest for a number of years. Some people, me included, do not feel comfortable with large quantities of primers or powder stored. So we tend to by as we need them rather than to "load up" when the market is depressed.
