I went proactive about 5 yrs ago and bought 35 cases of #8,7-1/2 and #6 dove loads. (lead)
There was some sabre rattling about phasing out lead shot.
Which isn't entirely germane to this conversation.
Did that as well a few years back, and now I have a bunch of lead I can't shoot at game in Cali. This state is now entirely lead-free for hunting. Be doing a lot more out-of-state trips the next few years.
