[QUOTE="Blackhawk, post: 2067121, member: 105459"] [I] Reply To Mike Matteson: The cost of lead because of EPA Sanctions has almost completely dried up here in South Western Florida .(not sure about of your state of Missouri) I have in the past been allowed to salvage fired projectiles by extracting them from the berm at my Gun Club. [B] Now even that due to safety concerns it is no longer permitted ![/B] With that being said I would make an assumption that because of restrictions that are being enforced, lead supplies are dwindling and if you find it like everything else you will be paying a premium price tag. In that light it is almost cheaper as well as safer ( due to the ingestion of lead and it's potentially dangerous health hazards that may be incurred to purchase commercial bullets for handloading if you can find them. ) IMHO: It is preciously this reason that I have ceased using cast bullets for pistol reloading, it's just at least to me not worth the risks that are involved.[/I] [/QUOTE]
