[QUOTE="del2les, post: 2711339, member: 9299"] During WWII, many of the companies we know began during the shortages caused by war production RCBS, Speer, etc. Both of these used recycled 22 brass for bullet jackets to feed their swages and feed their need for shooting. I have several sets of rifle and pistol caliber swage dies I bought decades ago, and while most of them have seen little use the past several years, I have restarted that old hobby. Even my old lead casting molds are coming of the shelves again, and I have found new sources of free to cheap wheel weights lead to feed those molds. Even the old boyhood practice of making our own black powder is being considered again, but what would really be nice is to start a business of smokeless powder production. I think many of us will relearn old ways to make things to support our desire for shooting. [/QUOTE]
