Along those same lines of component availability, keep an eye on Extreme Bullet Company ( http://www.xtremebullets.com/ ). They make very nice 55 Gr FMJ projectiles for 5.56/223 and always have stock. They even have had 24 hour sales where 500 cost $41, which is about 3-4 less than their normal price. I only load their 124 Gr Plated RN bullets in 9mm. Once you move to 124's and experience how well the plated work, you wont go back to FMJ. These guys also make a nice 158 Gr PSWC for .38//357 Mag work and a great 240 Plated Flat point for .44's. The advantage of the plated I that they don't have lube like a lead bullet so there less smoke when you shoot them, and you can push them pretty hard if you need to.
Have you seen all the IMR-4227 around lately? It works great in .44, .38 and .357 Mag, meters as well as spherical powder and is clean. Only problem is where you would use 4-5 Gr of Bullseye, you will use 9-10 Gr of IMR-4227. That makes it a bit more pricey to load but it runs and while other powders are hard to come by, this stuff will play.
