Home Forums Hunting & Shooting General Big Game Going all copper on bullets?

I use lead roundball and lead paper patched bullets. No probs so far. I've said it before and I will repeat it,there were multiple MILLIONS of heavy lead bullets used on the Great Plains killing buffler. By the "common wisdom" everybody and every critter in that region should have a third eye in their forehead and be dripping mucus from their nose along with being mentally deficient. Now as far as "bullet bans" go, a Barnes slug at 300 winchester mag operating velocities would likely hole the boron carbide armor plate and Dragonskin right nicely and easily. How long do you think it would take for the [bleep]-at-large to regulate THAT state of affairs out of existence? Lead paint-serious risk. Lead dust-VERY serious risk. That said, there isn't much of anything that doesn't present a risk under the right circumstances.
