Sierra was asked about this and they stated all their lead used for ammunition is secondary lead (recycled) rather primary (lead from ore). They also said they bought from several different secondary smelters rather than just one to insure a constant supply of lead. While it's a shame some of the bozos in the Great Windbag on the Potomac are putting more people out of work and sending even more money overseas, it's not time to panic yet regarding a lack of lead.
