Thread: Lead Free Ammo Laws?

G’Day All,

Just been talking to a mate in the UK and the stalkers there are being told that dame dealers will no longer accept deer shot with lead containing projectiles. That means anyone wanting to sell carcasses will need to switch to a non-lead option and there are already shortages in supply. As we know, projectiles and loaded ammo also costs more, sometimes much more. I used Barnes TTSX for years in the UK and they kill well at short to moderate ranges but less so at longer range.

Anyway, is this likely to become an issue for us here in these days of health and safety? Will this be another excuse for politicians and police to limit what we can do? Is anyone aware of discussions regarding policy or law changes? There is no pressure from game dealers here, but where others go we are likely to follow.

I see @Tahr is using Hammers. What else is being used out there and how do they perform and compare with each other, including in cost?

Cheers
