This means the end of lead bullets, and the start of civilian ammo costing 5x what it does now, based on the price of copper vs lead.

Hard to hand-cast copper.

And, “green” (lead free) has nowhere near the storage shelf life of standard ammo. Absent lead styphenate to stabilize the primer, it goes inert. Great way to preclude ammo stockpiling.
