I went proactive about 5 yrs ago and bought 35 cases of #8,7-1/2 and #6 dove loads. (lead)
There was some sabre rattling about phasing out lead shot.
Which isn't entirely germane to this conversation.
Not entirely, but partially seeing as how as of July 1 this year there is no more hunting here with anything but Non-Lead ammo.
And now we have an added charge to have it shipped in to a licensed dealer, or we have to pay their retail price and pay a background check fee too.
Yippeee........... and fewer gangbangers will die because ammo will be harder for them to obtain, right?
