Where the heck can I find ingredients needed for bullet crafting? I cant really break down much and cant make much and I seem to always be missing the right kind of powder or something. I have survival at like 40 skill too...Is the best way to break down other ammo?
You need repair skill for ammo, not survival. If you take the Hand Loader perk you have a greater chance of recovering bullet casings when you use guns.
As far as I know, (I'm playing through for the first time), the best way to get the powders is to break down the ammo you don't need, like say you want more 10mm you could break down the 9mm and .44 ammo you don't use. You can also get a ton of lead by breaking down scrap metal, if your repair skill is high enough.
