No bullets

Even if you reload you still have to buy bullets... unless you cast your own.

I mine my own lead and copper, and tin, then I dig up the ingredients for my own gunpowder, I then combine everything to fill my needs of ammo, I never need the stores, I AM PREPARED!
That would be funny if someone did that, and I would be very impressed, but it's not worth the effort.

Re: No bullets
Well, I'm pretty sure I could mine a couple years' supply of lead from the land I've been shooting on, and I do have load data for BP that I've tested in a couple of my guns.Pinkycatcher wrote:boomerang wrote:I mine my own lead and copper, and tin, then I dig up the ingredients for my own gunpowder, I then combine everything to fill my needs of ammo, I never need the stores, I AM PREPARED!![]()

Re: No bullets
Wow. I couldn't find bread either. I'm never worried about ammo, and didn't notice they were out.

Re: No bullets
You're lucky. The Wal-Marts here in Austin don't carry buckshot at all, let alone 3" Magnum 000.jlangton wrote:I got the last 2 boxes of 3" Magnum 000 Buck yesterday at the local Wal-Mart,and there were several folks there buying ammo.

Re: No bullets
Actually there were plenty of bullets in town. I really believe WM was probably the only one out.
Friday I was in bill's Gun Trader & they had PLENTY. Higher than WM but plenty.
I will bet East Tex Pawn had ammo too.
