Most definitely. Primers are pretty tough to find as most are being used up by commercial manufacturers. Powder and bullets are pretty hard to find as well. I was lucky and loaded up on a bunch of components right before the crazy started. I shoot with a group every week and several have had to stop weekly practice so they have enough ammo to shoot IDPA or USPSA and they only have enough ammo to do that a couple more times.

I've still been able to get bullets...had to order and wait a few weeks one time...but at least they would still take your order and get it to you ASAP. Not so with primers...the online sellers won't even accept an order for any primers that are in "backorder" status. The story is that Winchester, Remington and CCI (the three largest suppliers of primers) are keeping all their primer production to use in their own ammo orders...which I can understand, given that they are all sitting on a stockpile of unfilled orders. Sure makes it frustrating though to be sitting here with several thousand bullets, plenty of powder, and no primers to make'em go bang.
