Still be looking locally though.

Figure I'll have a bullet trap on my 50 yard backyard range to reclaim my lead from now on. Not a fan of this new normal we got now.
The dam EPA is the way they will dry it all up. It’s my fault for not stockpiling a metric ton years ago. Now I will pay a stupid tax for the lesson. Even just a few years back it was dirt cheap and I could buy from my scrapyard of choice.

I DID stock up years ago. My fault was not replenishing it as I used it. I used way more soft lead than my other alloys. So yeah, now I'm paying the price for it.
