I do not think a lead ban is imminent, but I do think that eventually it will come, or it's use will be severely curtailed.

Unlike you, I only load for a few different calibers and I do not cast anything. I still buy bullets every month. Right now I have about 5,000 on hand.

I am actually more concerned with the availability of primers and I worry like heck that someone is going to push for a license to buy powder. I stock up on all the component I can. But I do not go over board. When I can, I buy a few of this and a few of that and stick it in the ammo cans for storage.
