Probably some of the very ones who responded to this use them.

Yep, and I predict that the "Fuddism" over black rifles for hunting will pale in comparison.

"It's all about hunting, and you don't 'need' a lead bullet to kill a deer, and what's a couple of dollars for a bullet on a hunting trip costing far more, if it will help the environment, etc. etc."

A lady from an Iowa ag dynasty made a lot of noise supporting a total ban on lead shot, IIRC, quite happy using non-toxic shot for everything.

No small concern to me, as these days I shoot lead bullets from .22 to .45 BPCR almost exclusively, and there aren't any practical substitutes. If lead bullets are banned, I will have some very expensive wall hangers.
