Overall, things have improved. Primers can be found. Bullets are showing up some. Lead bullets are doing much better. Brass is popping up from time to time too.

My LGS (Sportsmen's Warehouse) isn't the whole nation, true. My perspective is anectodal. Sportsmen's Warehouse does seem to be fairly well connected; and they've been able to get a small - but steady - supply of components throughout the shortage. But they've gotten very little powder in the last 6 or 8 weeks. And it's only mag rifle powder, with meager exceptions.

There's other stores in the area too. Same thing.

The Sportsmen's inventory truck shows up every Wed evening. I'm out there, standing in line with a about 100 others every Thursday morning, waiting for the doors to open. I get to see exactly what they get in stock every week. They haven't gotten a significant amount of powder in a long time.
