Thread: X-ray of shot deer

Have been out shooting stuff for the last few days but following thread as and when I get reception. All I can say is that if you’re worried about lead contamination just head or neck shoot animals or leave meat on animal from shot zone as I do when shooting for supply to others. Or use solid copper bullets but remember copper poisoning is a thing too. Referencing articles from places with high environmental lead levels is irrelevant/pointless to my mind. About the only thing I got out of video about accubonds is don’t use them because they’re too frangible. Pisses me off a bit as I’ve got a couple of hundred for 6.5, just have to use on goats or targets I suppose. The water container test was interesting because I’ve done similar with nearly every bullet brand/style I’ve used to get an idea how they perform and apart from ‘ varmint’ bullets generally haven’t seen fragmentation quite like shown in video. Maybe I’ve been lucky. Anyhow it’s up to individual choice what bullet one uses. Just remember there’s shit around in everyday environment that’s not good for you. I choose not to be easily influenced without doing my own methodical relevant research.General Google searches and Wikipedia don’t count unless well referenced and/or peer reviewed either.

I used to tell my lads that before taking a position or firming an opinion to seek out and consider 3 well informed and objected pieces of information. Triangulation.
