Never the less, back to my original point...where do all the American companies get their material from?

Make my own. Lead obtained domestically (from tire shops and a roofer)

Powder is a different matter

All my Firearms are made by Springfield, Colt, Remington, and Smith & Wesson ( Made in USA BEFORE England got involved with the company. )

I always try to buy American made in anything I buy.

If I had my way, any company who moves its manufacturing overseas for cheap labor costs and imports their products back to the USA would pay one heck of a tariff.

You want to sell your product in the USA, you manufacture it in the USA, made by USA citizens.
