I'm a newbie and I finally bit the bullet haha here's some things I finally got my hands on. I didn't realize how big of a shortage there was on primers and powders.

Looks like you got some decent equipment to start with!
Good luck getting everything mounted and set up.

I also started off with a hornady progressive, now I have 2 single stage presses as well.
With a bit of common sense you can learn reloading on a progressive. Take it slow at the start and use it as a single stage by only putting in one piece of brass and finish that one completely.

Patience is a virtue with getting components over the last 10-12 yrs, at the moment you have to be searching constantly and grabbing what you can where you can. That won't be changing in any big hurry.

Get some reloading manuals from some of the big names; LEE, Lyman, Hornady etc and read them cover to cover. They all have lab proven data for reloading but it is the other stuff that you really need right now. The complete loading process, how to set up your equipment, tips on loading safely and more. The ABC's of Reloading is also a great book to have in your collection. Knowledge is your greatest asset.
