Not saying it couldn't be a problem, but without a lot of real hard evidence it seems like a low priority item to worry about eating game killed with bullets containing lead.

Are you arguing about those means of digesting it, or that lead isn't bad?

I hope we can agree, that lead is bad for children.

I'm arguing that it doesn't make sense to get too exercised about possible lead in game animals that were killed with lead core bullets unless there is substantial hard evidence to show that eating those animals is hazardous to your health. I don't see that hard evidence.

Ya, I am not really disagreeing. But if you had a baby, what are the downsides of not using lead? Just your status here?
