I published an article in RIFLE magazine maybe 3 years ago about non-lead bullets. My research included shooting quite a few animals with CCI's .17 HMR, .22 Long Rifle and .22 Magnum ammo. All worked fine--and they aren't all that expensive. If lead-free regulations become more common, the price will go down, because they can make larger manufacturing runs.
With a few minor touch-ups due to other advances in non-lead bullets, also appeared as a chapter in THE BIG BOOK OF GUN GACK III.
