There are no lead mines here in America
Lead comes from 2 places now, China and Peru
You can figure it out.
If you don’t use it, you’ll lose it.
People aren’t stupid. They can see that the DNC- Soroznazi/ communist putsch is underway. Also, that the D politicians are aiding and abetting the Burn Loot and Murder criminal gangs by removing police protection from the citizens. People either defend themselves or get killed, robbed, mugged or burnt out of home. So, they’re preparing to do self- defense.
I don’t doubt it. I went to my friendly neighborhood Rural King for some ammo, not ONE 9mm bullet in the store. They told me to call them first thing in the morning to see if their truck brought any in. I want to check out the Taurus G3, they’re selling them as fast as they get them.
Come on man.
Almost all lead used in ammunition comes from recycled lead in the United States. Most of that is from automobile batteries, I have been told.
Plenty of lead mines. But 0bama and the EPA and the Sierra Club forced the shut down the last lead smelters.
Also why the price of lead based batteries has skyrocketed too.
You do know precious metals are brass, copper, and lead? You probably think of silver and gold. Then again, maybe you’re smarter than the average bear.
In the proper proportions and combinations...
It makes me smile to know someone knows the true meaning of serious collecting. I look at the range, crap steel, no brass. Someone is listening.
The last US lead smelter closed in the Obama administration. Lead from US auto batteries has to be recycled and smelted in other countries.
Got a a G2C, the short barreled version of the G3. I think you’ll like it. The trigger reset does take a little getting used to. Long pull, short reset.

And when only batteries for antique cars use lead this problem will get much worse.
Trump needs to recognize lead smelting as the critical American industry that it is and get it restarted.
Nothing he can do about it - Congress did it and it’s black-letter-law.
Our national defense requires led too.
US military ammo has moved away from lead. Note recent lead-free ammo issue.
Old Car Battery, Tyre balancing weights, Bullet Casting Molds and a Fire/Forge, Ladel.
Worked just fine in CW1.
50 rounds of 9mm for $75 at local shop.
