Ammo scarcity has me breaking out the old Rockchucker again. Is there anywhere in the Denver metro area with supplies, or has that stuff dried up too?

Sportsmans had zero rifle or pistol primers on the shelves the other day, I asked about powder and one of the salesmen laughed.
Good luck. Midsouth, Natchez, Midway, Bass Pro, Cableas, Palmetto, Brownells, etc., etc., etc., etc., etc., etc., etc., etc., is out of just about everything with varying degrees of "backorderability." I did find some shotgun powder for my pistol loads at Sportsmans though...
I've had to resort to bringing reloading supplies from out of state. I've got three pounds of powder and 2000 primers coming from Washington. Good luck.
You can find bullets and powder for pistol. Primers are damn scarce. 223 is in the not going to happen category. Large rifle is hit and miss. I have everything I need, but a few people I know are having a really hard time. Dad's Wholesale marked up his stuff (as always), but people were still getting components from him as of last week. You will likely need to go online and pay the hazmat fee. Widners and Powder Valley are pretty well cleaned out, but they get shipments in if you pay attention; they go fast.
The last time I was at Sportsman's, they had a run on reloading manuals and dies. I never thought I would see the reloading manuals cleaned off the shelf. A couple weeks ago, Sportsman's reminded me of Black Friday, people picking up and grabbing whatever they could find whether they needed it or not. It is a total zoo out there!
I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them.

Right now a small rifle primer is like the holy grail.

It's been just about impossible to find any reloading supplies here in Durango as well. Wednesday I went to Farmington NM and stopped by a pretty good sized pawn shop and asked if they had small rifle primers, the lady says "yep we have a surplus of the 1000 ct boxes of the federal primers" My jaw dropped and i proceeded to pull out the wallet.
