EU ban on lead amunition

Sun Mar 07, 2021 7:04 pm

Is anyone worried about the legislation the EU is railing us down. before anyone says we are not in the EU anymore remember where your pellets are made. With this potential bombshell the UK will prob follow suit.

Time to buy a job lot then ... I really cant see any other material doing the job as well as lead can.

just how much of a job lot though? how many will last a lifetime? you are correct about other materials. lead is used fora reason, soft, malluable so it grips the rifling and lubricates. the wheel is still round, when the right design and material is found you have the goldilocks.
