I think you answered the question for yourself. If it's hard to come by or you can't get any, then yes reloading is the ONLY way to go.

I can still get it just getting fewer and farther between. What are some good reasonable presses to look at?

Yes totally worth it! You can save 40-50% on your first reload with new bought brass and 60-70% the second go around. The upfront cost isn't bad if you get what you NEED and upgrade as you go. I've reloaded about 1200 .45 acp I don't think there's any way I would buy that much of the shelf. Just bought 1000 5.56 brass I'm about to do.
And reloading is super simple, take your time and check and double check yourself and it will become second nature. Get a good reloading book (the hornady 8th or 9th edition is the best I've seen yet) and read the first 30 pages a few times and you'll be like a small ammo factory

Well worth the investment. I load with an old RCBS single stage press and have gotten pretty efficient at it

Reloading is defiantly worth it. I shoot 223 and to buy factory ammo when the cheap stuff is on sale will run about 25-30 cents a round. I reload my own 55 grn load similar to factory loads for 5 cents a round.
It's also fun to tinker around with loads for your gun to see if you can make a good load even better.
Suprised no one mentioned its a good way to get away from the wife for a few hours. My wife will try to come out to the garage and talk to me but after a few minutes she gets bored and leaves

Damn lol. I should teach my wife how to since she shoots up all my 223 ammo when we go shoot prairie dogs and then asks why I didn't load more when she runs out

If I had one of them I would shoot it once and then it would stay in the safe cause it would cost too much
