Ca lead free

[stilly]

That is why I just shoot everything that I can Condors and Bald Eagles included with my pellet gun loaded with .22 cal zinc coated stainless steel bbs. I aim for the head and then three more to the body when they are flopping around.

See? Don't matter lead or not, if you shoot a bird, IT DIES...



I swear to a god that I do not believe in that one day I WILL have a wand and when I wave it, LTFO...

You don't have to send in your reloads to be approved you only have to use approved bullets. I keep the bulllet info or the box they came in with me when I am hunting. I use barnes x or nosler bullets and now copperheads for small non game mammals. If you watch for deals you can reload very reasonably.

Cool thx for the info edge. Have u ever been stoped or questioned about ur reloads?

[edgerly779]

Yes once by warden todd Tognazzinni and once by warden Jim Solice in Parkfield and on Vineyard Canyon near San Miguel The info I gave satisfied them , also I had the product info in my vehicle. I gave Jim some of my paperwork to take back to office. I have lots of copies. They said if in doubt they ask for one cartridge and send in for for testing. Now they have a test kit on hand I am told. All my non lead is in labeled ammo cans with bullet mfg in can. I leave my lead ammo elsewhere when hunting as now you cannot have both in vehicle while in the field hunting in non lead area.

That is very good info bud. I do appreciate it.
How about a side arm? Can you still carry lead rounds for ur side arm?

I'm hating on this. I have a couple hundred dollars worth of my proven hunting loads on hand. Grrr. Now I have to either buy or load my own and then prove they are legal?

If you have got it so bad, try having to build a rifle to match the ammo you gotta use . Favorite varmit gun won't shoot lead free worth a dang , to use the ammo gotta build a new one , at least a new barrel . Already on order so when it gets here I can build a load.

Hornady has a new line of rifle ammo out using their GMX Gilding Metal bullet, especially tailored for hog hunting in non-lead areas.
