Lead ammo ban bill amended

[CaliberPlus]

This has been proposed previously, I believe. It will pass eventually.

Copper mining is far from environmentally friendly. If one has tried to purchase copper electrical supplie, you probably found the price is crazy, IF the product can be found. That should help the ammunition supply (sarc.)

I had a guy come thru that was insistent on buying copper slugs because he did not want to eat venison that had been shot with lead. I sometimes have to really work at NOT saying what I am thinking.

You can scoff all you want but copper sabots have advantages that have nothing to do with the “environment.” They shoot flatter further which matters when you are reaching out with a shotgun, they won’t lead up a rifled barrel, and they have excellent expansion and retention for a totally worry free cleaning of the deer to feed to your family. I process all my own deer and I have no concerns whatsoever regardless of the ammunition I shoot my deer with. The reality is though with some processors especially with lead rifle bullets you will sometimes get lead particles back in your burger. I’m sure it’s still fine as long as you’re not eating huge quantities of visible lead, but for me feeding my kids lead particles is not acceptable when I can avoid it. Since I process my own deer, that means using extra care in how I process when shooting with lead, versus no worries when I shoot with copper.

Again, it’s about education and choice. I don’t scoff at someone who always shoots deer inside 60 yards with rifled slugs and his grandad’s smooth bore with nothing more than a bead on it. That’s awesome!

the issue is that .... ban lead now .. next is ... ban is Copper ..

they need it all for the Electric Autos and Power Grid ..

so then its steel or tungsten that is left and you need a new gun now that can shoot it .. if there still for sale .

I have no problem with the ballistics. That was the farthest thing from this guy's conversation. I heard only what an awful product lead is. He stunk as well.

I do have a problem with banning products as well. I do not believe the movement to ban lead is for the protection of the environment or us. Having choice is a wonderful thing.
