Not CA compliant. They are leaded.I like the Nosler partition they work great for me
EXACTLY and why I moved to Idaho! California is NOTHING but a cess pool of inept mouth breathing liberals!!!I just started using Barnes recently, not because I'm in California but because I found they were giving me good accuracy. I'm happy with them, but don't have any experience hunting with them.
That said, I don't trust CA politicians. They've moved the goal posts before, and I fully expect they will find another way to hinder or completely stop reloading in the future. Simultaneously, they will tax ammunition and reloading supplies out of existence.
Their interest is not honestly in protecting CA condors or others in the food chain, it is in making it impossible for residents to shoot anything at all, and eventually make it pointless to own firearms.
This same approach is being tried on a national basis, but the proponents of this effort are years behind CA.
If you want to shoot, and to reload, you will not find a welcome in CA.
You cant go wrong with Hammer bullets know your twist rate order the proper bullets shoot for desired velocity and go hunt unbelievable how easy they are to load you might pick up a couple hundred fps also even more with the absolute hammers check the website talk to SteveAnother vote for Hammer bullets.
I used to swear by Barnes until I found out about Hammer bullets kind off the best of both worlds upon expansion and penetrationI have shot Barnes and Hammers and my vote is Hammer's! They work fantastic!!!
I was confused by his initial post. That's why I asked which mono was he using? I think he is straight now that the ELDX is not legal in CA.If hunting in CA. he needs a lead free option like a Barnes or Hornady GMX. I' be had great results with both. Just remember to use a lighter bullet than normal.
