Lead and lead shot

JD Miller · 11-11-2021, 10:29 AM

I heard from a owner of a nice gun shop that has lots of reloading supplys that they cant get lead shot at all. There is a lead shortage because of all these 'eco 'lectric cars and their batteries.
Lead cost $$$$$$ has skyrocketed if you can even find any

Start haunting tire shops and garages for wheel weights. Not pure lead but it will work just fine.

That's a tough one there.
Lots of them claim "company policy" and "the law says we have to do X"
The downfall of the clip on weights and the advent of the stick on weights makes the wheel weight an elusive one to hunt.
Buying what you know is pure lead and stocking antimony and tin for alloying gives you all the options.
