The trouble is finding ammo, what good does a gun do if you cant get ammo for it.

Actually airguns might be the ticket with the democrats trying to shut down access to ammo. The ammo is just a bullet and air. The bullet is usually cast lead for them and most serious airgun guys cast their own. Once you have the mold and a lead casting pot all you need is a supply of lead and you have all the ammo you need. Lead's easy to come by with wheel weights from a tire shop.

There was a guy on the local radio buy-sell-trade show selling lead cannonballs #20 and #50 for a $ a pound, his other lead supply...600 #s for .75 a pound.

I haven’t shot any but, a lot of guys with big bore air guns shoot round balls.

I plan on getting a .357 round ball cast. I’m sure I would lose accuracy but in a pinch I’m sure I could take a deer with it.

These shoot like a dream out of mine.

And small caliber PCP guns go through an air charge fast enough.

Can only imagine how fast a couple shots from big bore drains it.

I suspect the big ones are mostly a single shot and time out to fill the tank again.
