From another board:
I ran across this in my search for ways to find out when the powder I'm looking for comes in stock (if such a thing ever happen again for 8208), and hadn't seen any posts about it so thought I'd mention it:
https://www.shootingbot.com/
The most important feature in my opinion is that you can get notified by text message, which matters these days when things only stay in stock for minutes. It seems to have all the powders and primers that would be relevant for high power, but for bullets and some other categories it's more pistol-oriented (seems the creator is mainly a pistol shooter).
Some other resources, which I think I have been mentioned here before but just in case anyone hasn't run across them yet:
- https://ammoseek.com/ - Provides in-stock notifications by email
- https://discord.gg/reloading - There's a way to get notifications just for categories you're interested in, like small rifle primers and powder. I've gotten some decent-for-these-days deals on primers through this.
Plus of course you can also request in-stock email notifications from a lot of the suppliers themselves.
Anyway, I'm not affiliated with any of these sites, just wanted to spread the word in case I'm not the only one who had a hard time finding them.

One of the supplies I neglected to pick up were shot shell primers and now I’m really regretting it.

I use ammoseek constantly. It is not perfect by any means. I get more false alarms than I do actual real notifications. However, because of the notifications provided by ammoseek I have been able to barely keep myself in small pistol primers. If it were not for ammoseek I would be using up my small rifle primers for my pistol ammo and I would be getting close to running out of those as well. But I was able to purchase 5k small pistol primers from Midway and Brownells over a months time so now I have enough SPP to keep me busy for a while.
Today my LGS had 4 pounds of pistol powder for sale (1 lb Titegroup and 3 lbs CFE Pistol) so I bought them all.
