Went to local Walmart today and saw a selection of reloading equipment/supplies in sporting goods section. Never would have imagined this. A variety of reloading tools, primers, and a few types of gunpowder were available.

In my area they only have cleaning supplies and targets. No guns or ammo for two decades.

One of the stores near me carries a very limited supply of reloading stuff.
Any IMR4064?

We've always had primers, powder, dies, bullets etc. Haven't looked for quite a while though. Maybe they quit stocking handgun bullets?
Did not see that particular one.

Reloading is likely to get more popular as ammunition taxes are now popular with the anti-gun politicians. WA State is likely to enact an 11% tax on all ammunition during the current legislative session now underway. We have a 10.1% WA state tax retail tax on everything and ammunition production is taxed at 11% federally already (excise tax).
Now that I've picked up my new Ruger Security .380, even though I've yet to get up to the range with it. I'm scouting out Ammoseek for the best deals on a case purchase. CCI Blazer aluminum leads the pack 25-30 deep so far...but by the time you add in shipping, I have to admit, SG is probably the best bet with Magtech brass at $350/1000 case delivered. I've shot plenty of aluminum case Tula and others in .45 ...no issues but Magtech has always been solid and for a few $$$ more, the brass Magtech is worth it.
Will probably order this afternoon.
