I go through about six thousand rounds of reloaded ammunition shooting 'burrowing rodents'. I'm watching my stockpile dwindle. I'm now starting to go to alternative loads; bullets, primers, powders to stay shooting. Glad I kept good notes developing loads as when I run out of Powder X I'll got to Powder Z and the same with bullets/primers. Groups might be a 1/4" bigger and velocity off 100 FPS....but thats what it will soon come to.

Unless components start coming back by next year I guess I'll take up fishing.

Nothing wrong with that. Like many others, I also save all my reloading notes. The #1 load with a given combination is usually only marginally better than the #2 load with different components. Both are easily plenty good for hunting. If one is running short or out of supply, switch to the other and keep shooting!
