Lead bullets... gone the way of the Dodo? Why????

They have?

I wonder why on one told me.
I probably shoot more than 500 lead bullets to one jacketed bullet.

For the politicos who think lead is deadly: well, duh, especially if it's carrying 158 grains and travelling at 900 FPS or so.

Hmmm...I just came home with a box of Remintgon .38 special 158g LRN cartridges - the only .38s they had other than Blazers - which I think were LRN too.

This is from a store that never had any good ammo selection before, and now of course it's much worse due to the shortages.

Outside of California, I think the biggest reason is that the profit margin on Jacketed ammo is much better then Raw Lead. though in some types of rounds (45 colt for example) I mostly see Lead Wadcutters still.
