Stuff is in really short supply right now but it won't last forever. Generally finding components is easier than finding ammo because it is selling to a smaller group of people. However if you want to be picky, IE only shooting one brand or kind of powder/primer then you do have to look around a bit more.

If you want to get into reloading right now I'd say buy your press, dies, scale, etc right now and start watching components and seeing when stuff comes back into stock. The best thing about reloading is you can buy a 8lb jug of powder, 10k primers and suddenly you have enough stock to go through these panics unaffected. I personally try to keep a years supply of components on hand so even if it comes time to buy again I can wait for months before actually needing the stuff to shoot.
