This December one of the last lead smelting plants will close down, causing the US to not produce lead bullets in favor of this new "green ammo". California has already banned the use of lead bullets, what a surprise. These new green bullets are full copper rounds and apparently causing non toxic fatalities and not pollute the environment. And now the military will have these new green bullets by 2018. And why are they doing this? They want to jack up the prices of ammo so you can't afford any. It will cost almost 20 million to replace lead with copper. And here's the other thing the Department of Education, the Department of Health and Human Services, the IRS and Homeland Security all bought tons of lead ammo, so since when was it a concern. I'm sorry but this is just stupid, if lead really had such a problem we would have been screwed a long time ago during the civil war. But Dec 31st is when it will close so you can expect a price increase on usa brands, not so sure about the other imported stuff like the russian tula.
