What Do You Shoot?

[kinetic711]

Lead or Steel? I have a DA Grizzly 12.5 (cylinder bore) and have been thinking about the environment more and more lately since all of my shooting is in the bush. I am going to switch to steel only. What do you think?

I wouldn't bother. The amount of lead contamination that could come from you shooting is so minimal its an unnoticeable difference. Plus steel shot performs crappier and is more expensive.

You want to save the environment... ride a bike instead of driving to work. shooting steel instead of lead won't make a difference.

Can u even shoot steel in that barrel without ruining it? not to mention the cost of the steel doesnt even compare with lead shot/buck/slug shells.

How can there be lead contamination in the environment when lead comes from the environment?

Was lead not put into the ground in large deposits naturally?
