It looks like the only reason there is more available is because there are more manufacturers, which if there weren't there'd be fewer loads available then at first.

The sad part is that there have been some really nice jacketed bullets available to the handloader that have been discontinued. And the fact that all the experts in the field killed the .41AE that had a couple bullets made for them that are gone now too is disheartening.

But, I have plenty of moulds and like cast bullets better anyway. Plus I've played around with some specialty stuff, have made a couple different types of shotshells and am working on a buckshot load...as of yesterday.
