Listened to a radio show a while back that had a state rep on talking about this.  He said that he was personally investigating the claims that the .gov was behind the ammo shortage.  He said that during his investigation he was told by a Canadian supplier of bullet components that he was contacted by our ATF and instructed not to import any more components into the US.  Last I heard he was waiting to see if the supplier could send him a copy of a communique on the matter.

Either way... "This will not be over quickly... You are not going to enjoy this..."

O-Kay ladies and gents I have been preaching the following for years and most people have smiled and moved on. Here I go one more time - ROLL YOUR OWN!

I have bullet molds for all of the calibers I own and for some common calibers that I could use for barter in the 'near' future.

You can buy pure lead ingots at plumbing supply houses. The plumbing supply house I use sells them in 15 lb ingots for $1- a lb. You can hardenen the pure lead by using the many formulas that are accessible on the internet. http://www.lymanproducts.com/lyman/home/

Here is are some of my favorite moulds:
Lyman 358311 - 357 & 38 cal. 158 gr
Lyman 452460 - 45 auto 200gr (Work flawlessly in my 1911)
Lyman 358315 - 35 Rem 201 gr
Lyman 356242 - 9mm 121 gr
Lyman 311291 - 30-30, 300 Sav, 308 win, 30/06 170 gr
Lyman 311467 - 308Win 180 gr (I have the mould but have you yet to use it)
Lyman 225646 - 223 58gr (Haven't tried this one yet)

You can also get wheel weights from tire dealers. Some will charge you but many will not. I find the wheel weights are great for slower moving bullets (Under 1,500 fps).

For once be ahead of the curve!
