Thread: Lead Free Ammo Laws?

I think everyone involved in shooting in the UK sees this for what it is, health and safety gone mad and making life even more difficult for shooters. Luckily, I don't think our gun toting American friends will accept this stupidity, so there will always be a supply of ammo, assuming Jacinda allows it in to the country of course.

Agreed - H&S stupidity.

I’m pretty sure the US military is or has gone to copper projectiles. Where they lead manufacturers follow as they buy far more ammo than sporting and target shooters do. As Friwi says, there are likely to be more copper projectiles and fewer cup and core as the years go by. It’s also more lucrative as they cost more for us the consumers.

Two choices:

- Buy a shit load of your favourite lead containing pills (if you can find any).
- Buy a shit load of copper projectiles for future use (if you can find and afford any.

Thanks for replies so far - interesting thoughts.

I suppose there’s another option:

Shrug shoulders and go hunting with what you have.
