[QUOTE="cfvickers, post: 571010, member: 25488"] I have two thoughts as far as the wife and then lead exposure. I am not married (divorced) but as long as the wife is aware of the significant difference in cost and it is not a hindrance to you or to her, then she has every right to make this demand. She believes it is in the best interest of the family and it is a good compromise as you still get to shoot and to hunt. If she was to demand you stop hunting, then I could see major issues, this is menial at worst and not worth a fight. On lead, although I believe the risks of significant lead exposure from eating game taken with lead are small, the risk of exposure in the reloading room over time become significant. I hunt and load lead core bullets, but I also know that there is a risk of my body absorbing lead due to long term exposure. It too is a small risk that most of us never have a problem with, but it is far greater than that from eating game taken with lead. Considering you likely reload it very well may be in your best interest. Her request is out of care for both you and her family, even if some of us may believe it is misplaced. So In short, honor her wishes and your life will be made easier. It may be a little tedious but not completely unreasonable. [/QUOTE]
