    I have a mate involved in supplying shot game to a pet food outfit. Now this outfit has been on his case of late to change his bullets to something else rather than expanding. It appears that small bits of lead have been found amongst pet foods. Pet owners aint happy about said lead so my mate was asked if he would use solids or maybe lead free pills,,wont repeat what he said but yeah things in the pill department are in the spotlight lol
    Those at the processing plant for the pet food actually run metal detectors over carcasses to avoid lead going into pet tucker. Obviously someone is throwing everything into a mincer?
    I should add that 90 percent of game from my mate is neck or headshot..he is pretty sure there is change in the wind concerning bullet types.
