It is also almost impossible to find lead bullets for reloading these days. The rumor is that lead and brass are being bought up by China.

Learn to cast your own. Sure, it is more trouble than buying them, but it beats having none. Give a man a box of bullets and he'll shoot for a day; Teach a man how to fabricate ammo and he'll shoot for a lifetime.

Learn to cast your own.

After getting into reloading about a year ago, this is my next step. Casting wouldn't, however, be of much use when it comes to homerolling .223 / 5.56.

OTOH. Corbin sells a neat little swaging setup that'll convert used .22lr brass and lead wire into nice hp bullets. The initial setup is a bit pricey and the process a little labor intensive, but if you can't buy finished bullets...

Pardon me while I excuse myself to scrounge wheel weights and mine the berm at the range. 8^)

I shoot muzzle-loaders - cast all my own bullets.
