Apologies if this has been discussed, I didn't find anything on a quick search here.... EPA is closing down a 100+ year old lead smelting plant at the end of this year... Actually, let me rephrase, the plant is closing, so they don't have to pay approx. 100 million dollars in upgrades and fines to the EPA.
In the few articles I have found (just google lead plant closing) this may have a toll on ammunition, and we may have another "crisis" upon us....
But in another article, Sierra bullets is quoted in saying that this will have a small effect, but none that will hurt the ammunition supply and demand..... Yet, some conspiracy articles ( which just really amuses me ) claim that the governments billion dollar/ammunition buy was a direct result from this prominent lead factory shut down.
Whatever the case may be... Whether this is just BS or not..... Just stock up folks, and stock up well....
