So, I go to the gun show here in Richmond, VA. Went looking for some Ramshot Magnum powder...None to be found. But, what did I find?...Federal LR Match and CCI BR2 primers. Federal's $46 per 1K and the CCI's for $39 per 1K. I got 3K of each. Just last week I almost paid $69.97 for the CCI's (1K) but, I didn't, hoping against hope I would find some at the gun show.
 
Hopefully primers in general and match-grade in particular will become easier to get now. At least for the next couple of years.

I stocked up as I'm sure so have a lot of others. I look for SALES and cut throat competition in the coming months for everything firearm related. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised to see a few more mergers in the works.

IMHO, availability won't change and could get worse, especially if the military is upgraded as they get first shot at components. Given the great Social Expert YoYo gutted the military, your wish unfortunately may turn out in the reverse. So like the "hog" says, keep your eyes open for components where ever you can get the best deal. Others may also also be buying more due to pure demand and resupplying the military may get 1st shot and when they buy, they don't buy just a few boxes....it's crate fulls that take manufacturers LOTS of time to make up.

There's been a lot of capital investment in new equipment since the "greatest gun salesman that ever lived" has been in office. "Hopefully" production will meet or exceed demand. As a side note, I think my large investment in components and powder is going to be a financial loser though it'll sure be fun using it. :p :D
