Do any of you Fudds still use Nosler Partitions?

Yeah, now you can use all that delicious blood-shot meat. You gotta be a real good shot to sneak the bullets between the ribs to avoid bone in it though. :D



Edit: Premium bullets have their place even with deer, like when using less than optimal calibers, particularly 22 caliber as some people are inclined to do. With large enough calibers and reasonable velocities, C&C are more than adequate. I use 150 Gr Nosler B-Tips out of my 270 WSM. The only reason I don't use lighter bullets is to keep velocities down low enough to not fragment, while sticking to the powders in my collection.

Funny, decades of hunting big game with lead filled copper bullets, lead in my teeth, shooting ducks with lead, lead in my arse when lazy, lead in pencil's, what else? .........and people avoid lead bullets fearful that it will contaminate the meat. I would like to say something else, but I'll stick with "times/people have sure changed."

Yup, I grew up in Kitimat, B.C., eating moose and lots of grouse, and eating the grouse involved pulling out the #6 lead pellets out of my mouth regularly. I still do, I'm almost 50, and I haven't keeled over yet! :-D I'll bet even Clarke has pulled a few shotgun pellets out of his mouth here and there!

It is amazing the undo fear that people now have. No where is this more noticeable than on the CGN. Something like this came up here a week or so ago, and I pointed out how most of the CGN members here like to think of themselves as a macho group, where in reality they are a bunch of sheep scared of their shadow. This being afraid of lead in the meat from their bullets is just beyond belief. When you mentioned all the ducks we ate that had lead shot in them, you didn't mention how many times we felt a pellet in our teeth, then it just got swallowed with the food.
Or all the lead based paint we were around.
Or all the gasoline we handled and inhaled, that had lead in it.
The whole world has gone over board on being super safe to the extreme.
Those of us who have been reloading for a long time just shake our heads in disbelief at how unduly afraid are the new hand loaders.

Don't forget growing up, when we got a cut or scrape our moms would pull out the good ol' Mercuro-Chrome and cover it thoroughly. :)

In my home province of NS by birth, there is recent propaganda being spread about the 'evil lead shot'!!!
So strong is this persistant rumour, even the province is trying to brainwash everyone without a braincell in thier nutshell, by placing anti-lead adverts in the hunting guide. The NShuntingforum is pretty much drooling like a dog infected with rabies over this too.
Wonders never cease.

Edit: BTW, just forget about that toxic pond in CB, the hundreds of years of waste into Halifax harbour, the housing development that silted up inumerable lakes and ponds killing the frogs and wild trout. Never you mind boys! 'Cause the government know what's best for you. :rolleyes:
I know where they can place thier green keys standard............bend over Mr Premier and brace yourself! Because nobody f###ing cares!!!

Alright fellas, next on the agenda is semi auto mag capacities, followed by preferred load recipe for shooting into space, and finally 9mm vs .45. We're getting short on time, so we're skipping bear defence.

Semi autos should be banned. There's no use for them outside the military.




I'm serious.

Hoo boy! I'm going to plug the ears of my Garand.

You would not believe how popular this rifle is at our long range shoot when there is teenage boys around.
And the look in thier eyes of utter & complete satisfaction when they strike the gong at 750 meters and this is there first time shooting this verrry fine rifle. Even the powers that be exclusively left the wonderful Lee-Enfield and the M1 rifle alone, and worded the law in naming them berift of any legal encumberance.

SuperCub, no offence but your words disappoint me greatly.

cheers.......
 
I don't think a small amount of lead in your meat will do you great harm , but I never chew on lead for fun, so why would I want it in my food if I can avoid it? Ps I use lead billets for hunting but it's not because I like the flavour of lead.
