The amount of bullet lead that gets recycled is probably quite low. None used by the military gets recycled. Very little hunting ammo is recycled. Very few outdoor ranges tear down and rebuild their berms so they can reclaim the lead. That leaves indoor ranges which account for what, 25% of all ammo fired? Eventually the amount of recycled lead won’t be able to support new projectile requirements, especially with lead-acid batteries still being used in cars.

Have not heard anything from any industries about anything like that. No whispers, nothing. Unless you have. One thing I can tell you for sure there is quite a bit of apathy around about hauling in lead to get recycled. You can practically trip over the stuff. I know of battery packs for electric forklifts laying around. Nobody wants to mess with them since they can't get anything for them so they just pile up.
