[QUOTE="Coyote Shadow Tracker, post: 2324496, member: 116439"] Lead used in the Firearms industry for "Bullets" is about 2% of LEAD Production. I didn't find the percentage of Military to civilian lead bullets. produced. Auto/Truck Batteries take up 85% of Production. However battery recycling amounts to about 95% reclaimed Lead. Lead is highly recycled, but comes at a high health hazard in 3rd world countries. Our last Lead Smelting Facility shut down due to the high cost to make the Plant adhere to EPA Standards. We the United States still have vast reserves of lead underground. The US EPA Standards are cost PROHIBITED for a company to mine. The US basically relies on recycled or mined Lead from other countries- China & India being the main importers to the US. Buy the way- the answer to lead shortages in bullets (if it happens) is not COPPER bullets. Copper will be sold at a Premium and also in shortages. [/QUOTE]
