Ammo manufacturing at home

[AIRret]

I hear there are air rifles that shoot projectiles at 1200'/second if not faster, designed for hog hunting.

Sounds like a viable alternative...

Yes John R you are right. Some of the nicer rifles have scopes and are used routinely for hunting. Plus they are very quiet, i.e.. they are naturally silenced.

I've shot my step son's pellet gun and it is fun and VERY accurate.
It's a nice survival option, you can carry lots and lots of pellets because they are very light and I'm sure you could make pellets at home.

Hypothetically let me ask a question. If the ammo situation gets really bad I'm wondering what it would take to have a have a "Make your own ammo at home" set up at home for modern firearms even if it's only small scale.

I'm guessing casting bullets is easy enough if you have molds and lead.

You would have to have brass to load.

What about primers and powder, is there a work around for that if not available commercially or really high priced?

Of course the reloading equipment.

So if primers and modern powder are a big limiting factor what about black powder guns, making your own powder, etc... Has anyone ever done this?

What would you have to get to completely be independent of the supply chain and is it even possible?

Whoa this train came off the tracks!
