You know, I read all about the closing of the Bismuth factory in the thread a couple of weeks ago. Then someone at the local sporting goods store called to give me a "heads up" that their lead shells were all going up 25% as of July 1st. When I called Mack's Prairie Wings in Stuttgart to stock up on Bismuth "before the shortage", they had plenty in stock and immediately shipped my $400 order. Prices were the same as listed in my Dec. '06 catalog. They also had plenty of Kent TM at the same price as Bismuth.
I also went by the local store and bought a couple of cases of dove loads just in case. I wonder if there is really any problem with the non-tox supply line or if we're just being "managed" into a panic by the ammunition industry.
Oh well, I certainly have plenty of shells now, just in case...Geo
