RE: Big piece of lead!
Well, when China takes us over in a few years maybe we will be able to get lead again!
I panicked a couple of years ago when I was running low on lead, so I bought what I estimated to be a 10-year supply. Then Covid hit and I haven't shot near as much as I usually do since. Adding another 700 pounds to my stash should get me by for a while.
I wish I had done the same thing with primers! I'm pretty good on powder for 5 or 6 years depending.

RE: Big piece of lead!
I' pretty well set with primers. I have a case of wolf and Chech primers plus Fed and Win.
plus a couple old $7. $8. bricks from the 70's so this will hold me if I don't get to wild plus I have around 600 lbs of Robot dip solder.
Powder might get to be a problem. I called a local powder supplier an hour from me and he said I should get 2F Swiss in a week or two.
I stocked up after the first primer shortage.

Jim,
I said that after I read your usual Bottom caption
The "powers that be" may be interested in those of us who are more "prepared"
for eventualities. And they do eavesdrop

RE: Big piece of lead!
Well Jim,
How did you make out with that big hunk of lead?
I got busy today and mixed up a batch of alloy before it got to hot outside. I ended up with 35-9 to 10 pound bricks.
This should be enough till next season Now I better get them down in the basement before they restrict me to a 15 pound weight limit they will allow me to carry for a spell after fixing my back.
