I have recently been searching the internet for some round lead bars for a weight system for a new stock. I ran across several big wholesale companies that said they could supply up to 30,000 tons a month of the size I needed. I don't think we will run out of lead for a while.

Not for a while...........not sudden or immediate, go back to sleep, nothing to worry about.

Imported lead will always be there and secondary markets are never effected by primary markets. Secondary markets are totally sustainable as all those bullets we put in the burm find there way back to the recycling center.

One more thing america will no longer make but that's OK, we can count on imports, they will always want our dollar. Nothing to se here......move along and go back to sleep.............it's all going to be OK..............trust me.

P.S. I just like the way the board looks with my rooks up there and my bishops pointing at them but don't worry about it, I would never use them to hurt you...............trust me, it's all going to be OK.
