i see the big box sporting goods stores around here are having sales on many types of ammo- including .22s last week, so what ever the reason the shortage seems to be easing - but I don't expect the prices to get much better, Newtons law of what goes up must come down never applies to money.

the next thing is the news that the last "primary" lead smelter in the country is planning to close the end of the year.

So, is more lead hoarding the next crisis?
