No lead ammo, list of available

[Darto]

I hate lead free ammo, but I guess we are forced to use it a few years from now.

What I'm mainly interested in on that page is their link to an excel sheet of available lead free ammunition (dated 2012). Their Link is titled: "Visit here to get more details" .

Didn't the CDC do a study of the lead contamination in venison a few years ago and found no significant lead exposure from consumption?

I thought lead free bullets were an abomination, until I was forced to adopt them for varmint hunting. I found that they were significantly more accurate than jacketed lead core bullets even those jacketed bullets made with compressed powdered copper/tin cores (Barnes' Varmint Grenades, Hornady's tipped NTX, and Nosler's BT Lead Free), and the monolithic expanding copper bullets such as Barnes TSX, TTSX, and Hornady's GMX. Problem is that except for the lightest of these, the longer heavier bullets will need a faster twist for best accuracy. Handloading is required for maximizing accuracy, but some factory lead free ammunition is very accurate in the right barrel. Federal, Barnes, Hornady and (IIRC) Black Hills are loading lead free ammo.
