Lead free .22 LR for hunting?

You're basing a firearms decision on something you saw on CBC? Seriously?

Do what hunters have been doing since guns were invented - cut away the meat from around the bullet channel and STOP LISTENING TO CBC.

The "Toronto/Vancouver" thing was a joke btw, and were I further away from Toronto I might have actually found it funny myself. OK..it's a little funny. :)

As for the "lead" issue, I don't think it's a dumb question or anything...but I think trying to ban lead from the shooting sports could mean the beginning of the end. Not trying to sound overly dramatic, but the cost of shooting and the performance of the projectiles themselves are likely to both be dramatically different when moving away from lead. Certain gauges of shotgun like .410 may disappear altogether. Ask any duck hunter what kills more ethically~lead or steel shot. So much junk science and "feel good" Liberalism steering the ship these days. You'd think our government should be tied-up enough with over-spending, buying votes, and lying to be concerning themselves with lead projectiles in the shooting sports.
 
Trust me, if you swallow a lead pellet from a shotgun, or a piece of a lead 22 LR bullet, it will pass through your
digestive tract, relatively unchanged from when you swallowed it. The most dangerous lead is in vapor form, and
if you breathe that, a fair amount of that lead will enter your bloodstream. The hand-wringers are far too quick
to make statements that frighten the uneducated, while containing very little truth. Dave.
 
Lead-free tin ammo.

I don't know about getting a chunk of lead in my rabbit stew, but I have bitten down on some lead shot while eating a ditch chicken... felt a lot harder than I would have figured. Anyway I do use Barnes copper ammo for big game but that's more cuz it shoots so well in my guns.
