I understand the current climate we live in and supply is very low and demand is very high but how are you reloaders keeping up, are you sitting on that much reloading stuff or just willing to spend a little (alot) more just to get what you need?
My local shops are always dry for powders, most of the time its the same guys who know thier shipping schedules and/or have buddies that work at these places and go buy them out. Its also rumored that when a mom and pop shop out here gets thier hands on any powder they put it straight on Gun boker for better profit. And it wont piss of any of thier current shoppers as they are always "out of stock."
local Sportmans within the LAST YEAR has "only" got a total of two 1# of RL26, and a couple of h1000, IMR 4350, varget and retumbo, rare unicorn dust out here. While you go to Scheels and they have all the factory ammo under the sun. and walmart has all my rimfire stuff i need.
Any help and advice I would be greatly thankful!

... exactly my strategy. Over the past 3 years, this has allowed me to accumulate about 12,000 Primers, almost 100 lbs of the varieties or powder I use, and plenty of cases and bullets. Use the tools available to add in opportunistic fashion, and backorder stuff (like bullets) a year before you need them. I'm at the point now where I could find literally "nothing" available, and still shoot comfortably for several years.
