With the price they are paying for copper scrap in the yards, I can sure understand the reason for their cost. But I have to agree, that's a lot of money for bullets.

I have a friend that collects junk you might say. Old wire, etc.. and he strips the copper out of them (also where I get my free old lead water pipes). He makes a pretty good chunk of change for just being a scrounger (as we call them).
