Heading into May.

Primer prices for the small size primers seem to be decreasing as does the number of vendors having a regular stock of them Large size primers still demand a premium price, especially the large rifle primers.
Redding is coming out with dies in 300 HAM'R from Wilson Combat. Starline is making brass for it. Looks like an improved 300 Blackout with about 250 fps increase over similar bullets.
Powder is has gotten better for the most of the general use powders, but there has been no IMR 4895 or 4064 or a return of the Enduron line of powders. We have not seen any Trail Boss in several years. And, the Hodgdon Extreme powders from Hodgdon Varget, Retumbo, & H1000 are still hit and miss. While H4350 and H4831SC seem to be regularly available. None of the Hodgdon Clays powders have been seen in years. Most all the Accurate Powders are available as is the Ramshot line of powders, save for Magnum. Winchester powders seem to be more consistently available for the most part save the new StaBall HD. We won't even talk about Alliant powders. Stuff comes in spurts. But nothing consistent. I think VV powders are the most readily available.
