The podcast talks about fragments visible on x-ray 30cm from the wound channel, also about the lead tested lead content in minced meat where there was none visible with x-ray

Headshots rule.

We ate small game taken with a shotgun regularly when I was growing up. Used to stack the odd lead shot pellet on the side of the dinner plate. Maybe I have something else to blame all my otherwise age related health misfortunes on after all. Wonder if ACC will buy that one....?

I contributed minced deer and goat meat to one of these studies some time ago. Rib and shoulder meat mostly and the results supposedly showed low Pb levels, similar to control/background levels. I’m 63 years old and don’t spend too much time worrying about lead, within reason. Other shit to worry about. I’ve had a few things try to do me in over the years but apparently I’ve been a bad boy somewhere along the line. Supposedly “only the good die young”.
