I sold $7000+ worth of precision platform and ammo before going OCONUS few years back. The QP who bought them warned me what could transpire....

Well, luckily I have enough good brass to outlast each of my barrels 3-4x. I make sure of that when I buy them. The hardest components to find lately have been primers, and I did squirrel away about 10k Federal 210M's about five years ago and have resisted the temptation to use those until now. Powder has not been that big of an issue. I shoot 6.5CM and everyone is gaga for H4350, but I've been using Superperformance to good effect and don't seem to have much competition for it. I think it's because there are very few published loads - but I was just able to get another 16 lbs. at normal prices from Midway.
Bullets have been easy to find via Ammoseek.
By far the hardest lately has been loading for my 28 Nosler hunting rifle. I had to trade a kidney for 3 lbs. of Retumbo and some 215M primers!
