Correct, and there's no reason for it.

Lead on the Kitco commodities report today is 99 cents a pound, it's been hovering around $1 for years.

The Turkish brand 'Heper' was $46 at the Michigan state shoot last month, so transportation seems to not be the reason.

Jay's Sporting Goods in Gaylord wants $80 a bag for US made shot, and the Peruvian crap is closing the cost gap.

This seems to be greed driven.
