    KITCO said 88 cents a pound. Where are the $16 bags of shot?

    88 cents x 24 lbs = $21.12. Add in 1 pound (4%) of antimony @ $8.00 lb and ya got $29.12 in raw material prices. Toss in cost for smelting, dropping shot, graphite, bagging, shipping and some profit. Sad, but I don’t think we will see $16 bags of shot ever again.

    The words, lead and cheap, will never again be used in the same sentence.

    Much like the words "transparent" and "executive committee."
