Time to get into reloading. Nice thing about it, besides lower cost and getting a load just the way you want it, is that you can put the supplies into which ever cartridge you are most interested in at the moment.
Going to a gun store, or even Wally World, looking for ammo or reloading supplies (especially primers) is right out of Monty Python’s “The Cheese Shop” sketch!

Good luck finding primers... It seems that the major manufacturers are using their excess primer production for loaded ammunition.

Breaking News!
I just found large quantitys of ammo in stock at:
www.sporterexpress.com
Click on the contact us link and their phone number will come up they have in stock 7.62 .223 and 9mm I am not sure what else they have in stock. 1,000 round cases great prices. Oh and did I mention they have it in stock.
Their current stock of ammo is not listed on the web site but they just got this shipment. If you need ammo call them now.
My psychic powers tell me that there's a strong possibility that you are talking about 7.62x54r.
I need to get some of that myself.
My local WalMart got 6 boxes in tonight. 100 rds each and 31.97 per box for 38 special. I bet its gone by tomorrow.
Tried to buy .32 revolver ammo today at Cabela’s...any .32 revolver ammo...aside from nice signs advising the ammo was 3 times as expensive as it was a year ago, they did not have any....actually, any about anything. They had a half dozen boxes of .25 auto...a score of boxes or .22 CB caps, maybe 200 rounds of .22 long rifle target ammo, and, for some odd reason a good stock of .38 special ammo at a decent price, so, if you need .38 special and live near Boise, hit the Cabella’s, while they have some ammo.
Some Ammo at above URL.
Thanks for the heads up!!!!!

Next, I need to find a lever-action carbine in .357...

And after that, bullet casting.....
I couldn't afford to shoot much at all, if I didn't handload.
Before you buy any equipment, buy a good book. I usually recommend whatever version of Lyman's manual is.
I have a friend who has a friend that works at the local Remington Ammunition factory and he said the same exact thing. Said a new pallet of ammo never goes into their warehouse. It's loaded straight onto a truck and shipped out.
http://www.jgsales.com has always has done me right.
I just got a Romanian AK47 variant (GP75) from them.
Prompt service and no problems.
