Of course. You only need a double barrel shotgun.

Some of the ammo is made elsewhere. For example the rimfire is made by Eley (since 2018), the current gold .223 is from Taiwan

The loss of this ammo from the market will probably increase the cost of all ammo and increase the length of the current ammo shortage.

Of course it will. That is the idea. The Left is about incrementalism. Next will be components that have environmental impact.......insidious...

I thought they gave up on Tula in total a few years ago?

We haven't been able to import Russian primers for years, and I thought the loaded ammo was banned from import a few years ago already.
I will never apologize for being an American.

Minor point, but Wolf rimfire is made by SK, I believe.

Yes, Wolf .22LR is now made by Eley in England rather than the German SK Lapua plant.

I did a double check of some of my Match Target round boxes.
