    What shortage?

    I keep hearing of a shortage of components for reloading the .303 Britishicon specifically, and other cartridges generally. In which country is this alleged shortage? In light of my impending retirement I decided to start stocking up on reloading components for my favorite cartridges: .303 British, .308 Win/7.62 NATO, .223 Rem/5.56 NATO, 7.65 X 53 ARG., .380 ACP, 9mm Parabellum, .45 ACP., and .50 BMG in order to have a decade's worth of shooting without spending a penny. The only component I'm a little short of is primers. It's taken a little work scouring sites on the interweb but I currently have 3,500 bullets just for my Lee Enfields and M1891 Mauser. I have that much again for my AR15s and AR10s and almost as much again for my handguns. The supply of certain powders was off and on but not stopped completely and primers are once again plentiful although at grossly inflated prices. It would be interesting in hearing from reloaders around the globe regarding the availability or lack thereof of reloading components.
