Start tuning up your flintlocks boys! We have been saying for years that smokeless powder is just a passing fad. Primers are laying on the ground. If necessary we can learn to make our own blackpowder again and shot can be made in the backyard from scrap lead (a nasty toxin found clinging to the wheels of most all automobiles so we can perform a public service by removing it) :-))

I believe it was Senator Moinahan of NY who said something like "Don't take their guns away from them, there are too many guns, just don't let them have any ammunition."
It is a plot. If you can't win in a democratic way, be underhanded. Do we really have to start chasing cars? David

Jim,

If I didn't know better, I would think you are trolling.... Why are prices up? Because China is cornering the market on raw materials. And if any one thinks it is all going into playstations and xboxes....

Ahhhhhh, now I get it! It's the Democrats in China that are driving the price of ammo up!Led by that well known Chinese woman Hillary Cabela. Up the Revolution!!

I knew that our superior intellegence gathering network would solve this mystery. Chairman Cabella had dertrmined that henceforth the only gauges of ammo to be manufactured will be 9, 13, 17, 25.

Just hang(?) in there: the price of copper on the world market is in free fall, and oil is already down to the low 50's. Remember the gloom and doom just weeks ago? Don't know about lead at the moment, but you can buy all the shot you want at $20 or so a bag at the local gunshop. I'm sure there's price gouging going on (when hasn't there been?) and prices never go down as fast or as far as they go up, but market forces of supply and demand will have their way eventually as they always do.
I'm sure one reason for all this is the crowd (that's us brother)laying in supplies of all sorts of things before Eva Pelosi and her running dogs get real bold about their brave new world.

You guys sure are entertaining....

Now I have to go home and tally my hoard...

Yeh, I see my neighbor up the street has started his charcoaling op on what to all appearances was a neat suburban lot with predominantly "decorative" plantings. Small ball mills are available. The Lake Havasu types among us will want to be careful not to run afoul of their keepers.

Doom and gloom aside lead prices have been high before and came down into reasonable price ranges. When I first started reloading shot was $11.00 a hundred wt. and had not budged in price for years. We bought 100 pounds at a time. In ten years time it was $21.00 a bag and we had to buy a pallet to get that good price. Then five years later it was back down in the $11-12.00 a bag price. I seen several cycles of high and low shot prices.

Remember when Three Mile Island happened? They use the entire shot production for several months building a containment feild for that mess. All 6 or 7 1/2 as I remember. Came in truck loads and was dumped to enclose the mess. Should be able to get some of that surplus shot in another half-life time. Good shot for night time as it will still glow in the dark.

Buy shot when you can afford it and be happy. What else can you do for $20-30.00 and have so much fun? Load four boxes and shoot four rounds of skeet or trap. Clay target shooting is one of the cheapest forms of entertainment. Try fishing for $30.00 a day. Can not be done. Try hunting for $30.00 a day. Can not be done. Stay around the house and save $30.00 a day and the old fish will drive you to wanting to shoot someting or someone no mater the cost.

I really like coming here, but it's kind of sad that these shooting sites are just platforms to blast Democrats at every opportunity. This might come as a shock, but a huge number of Dems are pro gun/shooting/hunting. I too noticed the high prices in Cabela's, as I'm thinking about getting a bag of nickel plated shot and a powder scale. Blaming Dems for worldwide metal commodity prices however, especially in light of current events, is just silly.
