Make it rain!
Cast my first batch of pellets for my air rifle. Primers and powder are sold out everywhere and overpriced where it isn't. Lead is still pretty easy to find.

@Diptchip yea but even at x2 the price of lead we are still talking pretty cheap no? how much does a pack run you?
@freemo
Was about $40 for 150 of the good stuff. Will probably still get it on occasion. But now I don't have to rely on Amazon. All I need now, is electricity. I'm not much of a prepper, but I like the idea of being self reliant.
@Diptchip 40$ for only 150 pellets actually is way more pricey than I figured it would be... I'm guess lead is more expensive a metal than I thought too.
@freemo
Really depends on where you get it and how much you get. I don't think walmart carries ingots and shipping aint cheap. I got 20 pounds for $20, from a friend. Got another 10 pounds or so for free, from another friend. Can make over 200 pellets per pound. So I should have enough lead for over 6,000 pellets.
@valleyforge @freemo Thanks for the tip.
@freemo
The last pellets I got just about doubled in price. For the same price in lead, I'm pretty much set for life.
