Large rifle primers getting rare?

Finding LRPs has turned into quite the scavenger hunt lately. I've been reloading for years now, and I've never seen it this tough to get my hands on primers for such an extended period. There was a time when I could just stroll into my local shop and pick up a sleeve of CCI 200s or Remington 9½s without even thinking twice about it.
 
If you come across a solid source, get what you can. Just remember to be reasonable about it. Teaming up with a few friends who reload can really pay off, especially when it comes to splitting those bulk buys. Things are a bit crazy right now, but with a bit of effort and some good connections, you can definitely still find a few sleeves.
