BLM and Lead-Free Ammo?

[Reductio]

So here's the deal.... according to the ranger station at Jawbone, just "within the last few months" they were instructed that ammunition with any lead was illegal to shoot on BLM land. I told the ranger that it was my understanding that was only mandatory for hunting, and that it was only suggested for target shooting.

Of course, when I asked, she could neither produce the memo, or the PC for it, and her superior was out on lunch... and that so long as we cleaned up our shells, nobody would know.

FUD or did I really miss a new law?

I guess I'd go to F&G's page and print the details for lead ammo, looking for details where it only pertains to hunting. Then print any and all BLM requirements for target shooting in the area, assuming they have no rules. When and if you get questioned, point to the printed regs and ask where it says lead only.

And isn't this only applied when in the Condor Zones? IIRC the policy/bill/whatever it was that would have made this state wide got shut down.

There is always some group saying what you are doing is bad, and you are hurting the environment, and killing the milk weed, and flies are dying, and puppies are next.

If the EPA told them to kick rocks, then for sure they are full of s**t.
