[QUOTE="BringBackThe80s, post: 5216218, member: 19834"] I am a long-time Tennessee hunter and lurker at TnDeer, but I have taken my many deer over the last 20 years mostly with a bow, some with a muzzleloader, and a few with a shotgun. The only centerfires I own are a National Match outfitted AR in .223 Wylde and some 9mm sidearms. I have some reloading experience but no equipment or components yet. However, I plan to buy this year (1) a light, compact rifle in .243 or 6.5/.260 for my kids to use; and (2) a mountain rifle to take out west, primarily for elk, in .300 PRC, .300 WSM, or *maybe* .338 Norma Mag or .270 WSM (the .270 WSM only if I decide to get one rifle to cover both deer hunting here and elk out west). A major consideration in selecting new rifles and calibers is whether I can find ammo and/or components this year and for the foreseeable future. When I search for reloading gear and supplies, many components are available while others are nowhere to be found. But until I choose calibers, I don't have manuals or enough familiarity to know which items (particularly powders and primers for precision loads) will be needed or can be substituted for each other, etc. So, given present supply chain issues, how likely am I to be able to find the equipment and components I will need to start precision reloading any of the following calibers? .300 PRC; .300 WSM; 6.5 Creedmor; .260 Remington; .243 Winchester; .338 Norma; .270 WSM; .223 / 5.56; and/or .9mm. All thoughts about reloading or ammo are appreciated! [/QUOTE]
