Yes, and for another important reason.
Some time ago a couple of us keen North Islanders were invited south to night shoot Rabbits / Hares, spotlighting and shotguns only, firing from the deck of a landcruiser. Well, we just took our duckshooting ammo, all steel. Was all good until our shots were hitting stones and gravel, making sparks fly ! The poor farmer had to get stern with us. There was real danger of getting a fire started there. Jeez, did we feel stupid. Farmer was 100% correct of course. Lucky the other boys brought enough lead ammo, helping us and the fun continue.
