I remember in the 80s in eastern Idaho the stores carried everything, including a stock of various bullet molds, sizing dies and nose punches. Most of the people that I meet lined up at the local emporium the morning after a shipment are mainly looking for AR-15s and loaded ammo. I know a few folks that cast their own, but they are my age or older, 60+. The appearence of quality cheap bulk lead bullets and surplus ammo was great for shooters, but maybe not for the sport itself.
