    dont be too worried about lead in your meat, the bruising is far greater spreading than the lead when you shoot something
    it will be all blood fucked for 4+ inches around the bullet hole so you will be cutting off tons of meat regardless that "could" have the lead spread to it
    basically anywhere the lead goes it causes damage and you trim all the damaged bits off

    running pure copper bullets like the barnes/peregrin ones you are talking about is very spendy, so very very spendy to practice with


    308s are great if they suit the area you hunt in.
