I also just got into reloading with the purchase of a new Dillon 650. Got it all set up and went to get supplies, SURPRISE, no powder or primers available anywhere. I just went and back ordered 75,000 assorted primers and 25 lbs. of assorted powders from Cabela's with the hopes that some of it will ship. I figure if I get lucky and get them all at once, I can at least help out some other enthusiasts who can't find any.

Although I am new to reloading, I have read extensively on the subject, have my Lyman and various other powder manufacturer manuals in hand, just hoping that I will receive the correct combination of supplies to reload the calibers I use most frequently. By the way, I do know NOT to jump in and use this reloader to its fullest potential (say 1,000 rounds of .223 right out of the gate) until I get the hang of it. I hope one day to be one of the guys giving the advice, rather than asking for it!

Good luck to everyone else on your quest for these currently elusive components!
