I stopped in last week and they had an ample supply of Berry's bullets in 9mm. 124 grain. I picked up a 1000 and some primers. They had all sorts of things that I haven't seen on store shelves (anywhere) for months at any price (I haven't been to a gun show in over a year). It was like Christmas in July. :)

Still no real loading components for my AR, but I expect that to be one of the last things to return (except maybe .22LR).

I just started reloading a couple months ago when Cableas and Vances ran out of 9mm factory ammo. Picked up a tumbler one week, went back the next and they had primers, next week was some Tightgroup powder, nest week some Berrys plated. They usually seem to have at least something in stock. I finally got to shoot my first 10 test loads last month then some more last week.

Is there lots of everything on the shelves?
No.
But, there are several flavored of small and large pistol and rifle primers.
They seem to sell only full bricks at about $38/1000.
Handgun powders are bullets are often on the shelf.
Some of us may need to consider adding other bullet weights - for instance, I have always loaded 115 gr Berry's bullets. When they are not to be found, I have seen 124 gr and 147 gr bullets.

Bottom line: ammo and components seem to come in and stay on the shelf longer than they did a couple of months ago.

I have been hearing that FF&F has been getting in skid loads of ammo regularly.
