Her's the deal. The better and less expensive the Company is - the less likely they are to have what you want in stock. For instance, Mid South is excellent, but I hope you don't need anything for a year! Sites like Lucky Gunner might have something in stock, but you will pay through the nose and be prepared to grab your ankles when you check out. Unfortunately, that is just how things are right now.
Once in a while I'll wander into a LGS or Dick's and they will actually have something I want at a reasonable price. That has not happened too often though.
I realize you were referring to reloaded ammo and I am giving you an answer related to new ammo - but the same principles apply. My suggestion would be to "bite the bullet" and get into reloading. Unfortunately these days reloading is almost a requirement of you are going to shoot a lot - unless you are very well off. Not only will you pay for the equipment in short order, you can custom taylor loads to your specific needs and always have ammo to shoot.
I have a couple of friends that got into shooting about 3 years ago and when I originally talked to them about reloading they said they were not interested and did not have the time or ambition. Guess what....... after seeing how much ammo costs and how difficult it is to find, they all of a sudden found the time and bought reloading outfits.
