Anyone knows if the raw materials for the powders or primers are coming from China? In other products supply chains there are already some delays.
 
Lots of vendors are on hold from getting supplies, it will be interesting to see how it shakes out. At the Hunting Expo in Salt Lake City today, a bunch of guys were talking about how they can't get their products or parts for their products in....
 
Given that the leftist closed the last lead smelter in the US a few years ago....


Fortunately our recycle circuit is pretty tight and with the value of "mining" berms now gun clubs are finding they can recoup some of the cost of maintenance by letting recyclers get lead from backstops/berms.

I don't think we are in danger right now but Im betting marketing dept will use it as a means to push sales/prices.

Im not a caster but apparently if you go to a boat yard and you buy an old sailboat keel you might have enough lead for a lifetime.

We should start killing condors and recover all the lead I understand they eat from devouring all the gut shot animals hunters lose.
