Raptor brings up a good point. There's ways to mitigate the costs for sure, surplus powder, free lead for bullets, and range pickups make great centerfire plinking ammo.</div></div></span>
Good luck finding Surplus Powders, and lead has to be mixed w/ antimony, and you actually think WE HAVE a few years of the right to reload/keep weapons???.
Not if the King see's the Economy turn around, and then he will get PASSED everything he wants.........when and Where.
Plus, we're a gnat's ass away from the total BANNING of lead used in bullets................
Need to start prayin for a couple of seats in the Senate to go to Repubs, or our collective ass is dead. </div></div>
I agree with you 100% for people not in the situation I have. Quickly that is:
1) I have more than 100# of surplus powder already.
2) Antimony is easy to get for me since I have family that teach chemistry. If you don't want to go that route, mix 19# of raw lead with 1# of magnum shotgun pellets. It's now hard enough to shoot from a Glock OEM barrel without any issues. I've done it, I have 23# of mag shot left.
3) Just because the King says I can't have lead bullets doesn't mean that I will give them up, just like having firearms that don't have a 4473 attached to them, they don't exist. I'm not selling them to anyone and I have an essentially private range to shoot at with family's property.
4) Given the ability of me to get the necessary stuff for making primers, I have enough to get me through the "winter" that we may be approaching. If it gets really bad and we're in teh worst case scenario I can make them completely.
You're exactly right that we need some Republican senators willing to stand their ground or else we're all hosed. If that happens it gives creedence to all the hoarders. Powder is my weak link, so I am buying lots of it.
