Lead Shot

Win 75.. I just bought 2 tons of shot for 20 bucks a bag. Sold half to pay for the rest..or almost so and have enough to load for the next couple or 3 yrs. But the price of lead has dropped a lot lately. With the economy going downhill a bit the only thing keeping the price of stuff so high is the demand from places like China and the 3rd world countries. Peru was making lots of money from the sale of lead. I also remember when the price of lead went to 20 bucks a bag back in the late 70's early 80's. Somebody was using it in great quantities in nuclear projects. Personally I think the price on most metals will come down in a year or so. The prices that we are seeing now are somewhat inflated beyond the actual intrinsic values. Some things will not come down significantly though. If you need to get rid of a bunch of werewolves and need to make silver bullets...well you're just gonna have to pony up to buy that silver...gold too. Maybe even copper.
