Howdy everyone!! I’m a rookie in the reloading world! I will take any advice y’all may have.
Has anyone had any luck tracking powders and primers down?

Welcome. My best advice is to use the search function and read about everything you have a question on. In reloading & shooting, reading is your friend.

Find a knowledgeable, experienced mentor. They may be old and hard of hearing but they will flatten your learning curve greatly.

And as has been mentioned, READ a LOT!

For newbies, best to start out with one of the reloading books. The bullet companies publish good ones but some limit their info to bullets they manufacture and rounds they've developed. I gave a Lyman book to one of my buddies who started and he found it very helpful.

Great advice here. Purchasing and reading a reloading manual years before I got into reloading paid off big time. Lots of good knowledge and fantastic members here.

Like Tim said get someone that will let you watch them and ask questions.

I just retired and moved a couple of years ago. I set up an area that will be my reloading area and bolted down my press and powder measure. Then I looked at my old supplies. I only had a hundred primers and half a pound of powder. So off last October to the stores I went. In three months I found 6000 primers, and 7 pounds of powder, 2000 projectiles and 1000 cartridges. I found my stuff at the local gun stores. You need to be looking at multiple stores many times a week. After a while you will get what you need to load. Online you can get powder and primers, too. But online you will pay premium prices hazardous shipping too. Look on your lunch hour, look after work, look on the weekend, look online. But you will need to look at 8-10 stores multiple times a week.

Stuff comes available online. You need to get into a routine: choose several retailers, and check their inventory often, like several times a day often. Supplies don't stay in stock very long (often no more than several minutes.) Stick with it though, and you can get hold of what you need. Eventually. Maybe.
