Did the very same with a very successful TA/FC. The moment I walked away was very much like getting a huge raise, plus a ton of time I'd spent working on, traveling, and competing.

I do not disagree with the posts here about the prices of reloading supplies.
However, look at what you have and what it's worth with and without ammo.
An example -
I have a Westley Richards double rifle, last estimate on it's value was $20k.
You want to talk about expensive to reload for, it surely fits into this conversation.
Without ammo it is pretty much useless and worth about $4k/5k as a collector piece.
It saved my butt more times than I care to remember. I do take it out an shoot it about once a year, so need to reload ammo for it.
If I do not 'have' components available to make some ammo for it, it loses it's value by a lot.
Just the same as all of your weapons would.
Again, I am in the same boat as all of you, I don't like the high prices we are seeing today.
Not trying to be a smart a$$, but anyone that has a rifle suitable for benchrest that shoots 0's and 1's and is willing to sell it for a discounted price (due to reloading supply costs) I will seriously consider buying it.
I'm not a rich guy, but not a poor guy. I will continue to do the things I like to do as long as I can ...... and shooting is one of them.
