What is the alternative for lead rifle bullets. I'm sure they will try to spread this to other states. I should say it is banned for hunting.

Nosler had the lead free Ballistic tip and the E-tip. Hornady has the GMX line. Barnes bullets entire line is lead free.

Solid copper. It's what I've been using for the last couple years. Barnes 140s in my 7mmMag.

Weather it's good or a bad thing depends on which publication you read, it follows the lines you'd expect.

I doubt there were any specific ML only hunts anyway.

Didn't know the military went hunting as training do they have to draw for a tag?

Yes there are before I wrote that I looked at their regs.

OK since an all copper or bronze pistol bullet is considered to be an armor piercing bullets How will you hunt with a handgun?

All those bajillions of .22 rimfire firearms now useless.

No they will sell to legal states....

I guess bagging prairie dogs is now a rich man's sport.

 

[timac]

From what I've read the law only pertains to hunting ammo, target ammo is excluded. The law is BS, just another feel good does nothing law.

For big game, it isn't a big deal. For prairie dogs, or, if your shotgun can't accept steel, it will drive one to bankruptcy.

 

[Modeler]

The ban doesn't take effect until 2019 and it only applies to hunting, not target shooting.

Oh, and to answer your question: depleted uranium

Will this law be state wide, or only in certain regions ... ie) the Condor areas ?
