I feel your pain.... haven't been to the range, but once in the past year.....Spent $100 at the range Wednesday. Two 12 rnd. magazines of 9mm and four 16 rnd. mags of .22lr
I Have a good supply of ammunition, but the fact that resupply is difficult has taken the fun out of range days.
Last panic it was powder I could not find...now it's primers. I never seem to get smart enough to guess right. I am knee deep in powder and srp, but I can find a pistol primer to save my life.I put 150 or so rounds of 9mm down range at Oak Ridge the other day and it cost me about $15 ...money I spent on components long ago.

Hell, buying required ammo quantities for Advanced Firearms Courses really sucks now. Some here may still have Uncle Sugar providing the ammo and paying all related costs.
I agree that pistol primers are very hard to find, and I've seen them bring some prices that are beyond crazy. Fortunately, I was a bit of a hoarder (even more than now) back in the 80s & early 90s. Today I'm still using Winchester pistol primers (large & small) that I bought for around a penny each, and I have "plenty." Same with powder, bought long ago and stored properly.Last panic it was powder I could not find...now it's primers. I never seem to get smart enough to guess right.
