Still might get better when those antique guns of your explode under those steel balls. Why pay BUPA when you can steel shoota? (I ought to write adverts  )

None of my guns are antiques and if you think it's funny having a gun blow up in your face may I suggest you frequent elsewhere until you have grown up some more.

Maybe not just shotguns after all...

I bought some lead free .223 ammo because it was cheap.  I'm sure it was remington.  Maybe just in my rifle, but it grouped like a shotgun

Progress lol. Yeah we replaced a toxic form of lead with benzine. A known carcinogen!

To clean up smog we fit cats to our cars full of known carcinogen metals!

Yeah progress lol.

Fine by me.

That's a typical response you get from people faced with fact and it shatters their simple view of the subject.

Cars by the way do far more harm to human life, animal life, the planets resources and air and noise pollution.

Far worse than a lead projectile/s!

Shouldn't we be banning them first?

I'm prepared, I have a C309-170F

Aye got the smelter, gas checks and everything.

I got them originaly just to check it out and see what it was like, but now I'm thinking it's going to come in very handy when they inflict the ban on rifle loads

We know a complete lead ban will come eventually. So what do we do?

Ignore it or work with it to make the best we can? Shouting, bleating and insulting the anti lead stance won't make any difference. Like I've said before, remember when we said unleaded would be the end of proper cars? It's progress.

Yes ignore it and stockpile lead till the joists creak under the weight.

It was a joke, sorry if you took it seriously.

Whilst the outcome of this subject is well out of our hands, I have to totally agree with SD regarding the overall damage done by cars to life as a whole and while a plan is in place to go electric, that is such a can of worms, it is laughable.  As far as I am aware, and I readily stand to be corrected BUT is there any eveidence to show that lead from shotguns is doing ANY actual harm at all.  I am not saying for one moment that lead will do anyone any good but lead poisoning form shot...........................well is there.
