Quite keen to get into reloading, but have been hesitant as sounds like the LR primers and some other components seeming so hard to get atm?

yes AND no...... its still loud enough to damage hearing....and killing power will be less,your in effect downsizing your cartridge eg turning 22-250 into 222 or .300wsm into 308 or 308 into 30/30 or 7.62x39mm subsonic is the extreme end of doing it but killing power sucks if aim is off.
