[QUOTE="ericbc7, post: 1752179, member: 79488"] Lead contamination of game meat seems overhyped to me. Sure if you had a crop like a bird and used bullets for grist you would accumulate whatever they were made of. Any metal You are likely to ingest with game meat (copper, lead, bismuth etc.) is not going to stay in your system long enough to impact your health in any meaningful way. If your rifle shoots an appropriate particular bullet well, go with it, keeping in mind that monolithic bullets tend to need more velocity to perform well on soft tissues. I have not heard of many Safari hunters bringing home the meat, but if you do, I would worry more about how the meat is handled after the shot than with what it was shot. I hope the Norma mag improved let’s you shoot standard norma mag ammo in case your ammo gets diverted. Good fortune on your hunt! [/QUOTE]
