Just when you thought the new gun bill was our greatest threat.......

They already make polymer ammunition. That and solid brass projectiles would be a fine replacement over lead. Although the cost right now is higher for the polymer rounds, its only because they are a niche round with very small production. If they were to become the norm and production was brought up to the level of lead ammunition, the cost would be the same. Polymer goes threw paper just as good as lead. With added benefit of decreasing the lead levels in our blood from indoor ranges and the environmental benefits its seems like a reasonable change.
 
Since I dont reload & am kinda new to the game, I think I have a good idea, correct me if Im wrong. Is it because non lead would be allot more expensive to reload? Also, I gathered it may cause more damage to rifling & be banned as it damages back stops? I know they dont allow Steel Core at most ranges, is that stuff similar as Old SKS Steel core ammo?
 
There's still lead in gasoline. It's not "lead free" as one would believe. Cars put more pollution in to the atmosphere than lead bullets ever could.
 
Mandate and create a law stating that all projectiles must be gold.

It's denser and a "noble" metal that does not readily react with other elements.

Problem solved!
 
They're well on their way with this agenda in NS, a few sick and/or dying eagles over the last few years due to lead poisoning and suddenly it's because of gut piles after deer season. The wildlife rehab vet here has been running quite the campaign and even has our Federation of anglers and hunters on board with non lead hunting ammo.
 
There are so, so many issues we as Canadians need to face and confront before we should even consider chicken #### issues like this. Man oh man.

Flint Michigan has a lead problem. We do not.

I will switch to lead free ammo when the alternative costs the same or less AND works as well.

For shotguns, its has to cost the same or less, works as well AND work in fixed full choke barrels

Till then I am using lead so get working on an alternative.
 
Banning lead ammunition would put a huge dent into my gun club activities. (Black Powder)

I use cast for d@m near everything else I shoot.

and then there are other shooting disciplines like, Cowboy Action,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
 
We use lead in guns for the same reason Gutenberg used it in type: cheap in material cost and fuel; easy to alloy for specific properties.

I shoot antiques. No lead; no casting, no shooting. Even with lead. some bullets are near unobtanium.
