I don't see it getting any better during the summer months but this go around is a little ridiculous - I just got 500 (5 boxes) of 230 grain Gold Dot bullets (.451) last week from Brownell's that I've had on back order since December 2012.

Powder by the pound is available around my neck of the woods but not much in 8# quantities.

VihtaVuori powder is a trick to find.
