"Roger that". It's nice that the SKS is considered an unfashionable, "ugly" gun.
The vast ship full of cash spent on ARs etc has kept prices down on the SKS etc.
I've been reloading for my six Enfields and FR8 Mauser since '11. About to begin for my Service Grade (CMP) Garand.

Even though I have 3,000 rds. of corrosive surplus as long-term contingency for the LEs, it could be tempting to buy a large case of x54R, simply to have a nice reserve of very cheap full-power plinking ammo for retirement in a few years.

The incentive to spend two hours carefully (balance scales etc) reloading 50 .303 cases, just to blast solid objects or sink them seems somewhat futile.
When the next panic hits, the x54R prices might stay much higher than they are now.
