Shopper Robert Nicholson, like thousands of other shooters, is going a different route. He’s making more of the bullets he shoots. Shop owner Cliff Poser says the scarcity of ready-made bullets has frustrated shooters to the point they’re spending between $200 and $1,000 to get into the hobby known as ‘reloading.'”
