Unfortunetly any drop in the price of lead shot will be severely offset by the increase in price of other goods. Eggs are up 150%, tuna 40%, gasolene up 33% above its previous 100% increase. Even if shot drops to $13.00 a bag we are all still paying far more than we have. I assume that inflation applies only slightly since the cost of fuel is the impetus pushing prices higher. Lead is heavy.
