Thread: 410 no toxic options

Yeah, I'm not interested in that side of the debate. Only really worried how we can meet the regulation and keep the kids shooting with some practical solutions from those on here.
I did just see this from the fish and game email today so will follow up with local shop and see if this in fact the case as it wasn't last week.

.410 ammo
For those looking for non-toxic .410 shot, *ammunition importers NIOA have let us know that only just over half of their shipment has been pre-sold.
So, there is still an opportunity for those wanting to get their orders in for when the shipment arrives in early April.

When the Minister of Conservation from the previous government removed the exemption for .410 lead shot in early 2023, the Minister also considered the banning of .410’s for waterfowl hunting.

Thanks to the efforts of NIOA in sourcing non-toxic bismuth and tungsten-super shot ammunition, that has meant that was averted.

So, for those who use a .410, please support the efforts of NIOA by getting in with your orders for non-toxic shot."
