.22 lead ammo banned in California?

[Handymike]

I was going to do a little ground squrriel hunting out in the desert and was informed that .22 lead ammo cannot be used for any hunting here in Calif.
Does anyone have info on best non lead .22 LR or .22WFM ammo

That is what they state. Go here:

I guess we can roll our own by re-using 22LR cases:

22 Reloader Kit

Times change, and situations arise that call for the right tools for the job. The Sharpshooter 22 lr reloader kit fills the need in such situations by providing the right tools and the proper instruction to ensure that you are never caught without access to ammo. It's no secret that changes in...

and buying 22 projectiles from Cal. approved sources:

Certified Nonlead Ammunition

LOL or maybe crying

I haven't found a good lead free 22LR ammo, I believe because it is hard to stabilize the lighter projectiles well with the limited case capacity. I switched to 22WMR for hunting and honestly like it better because it is flatter shooting and I was never much of a fan of 22LR to begin with. I use the CCI TNT Green ammo which uses a Speer 30gr projectile. Run it through my CZ 512 and 457 and it performs well, better with the 512 actually. I am not familiar enough to with the less popular 22WRF to compare but I would imagine CCI might have an offering.

They will never vote them out, but, If they all pool their resources they might be able to sue them out of the chokehold they have on them. Personally, I would let them have it, and let them finish turning it into something they even cannot live in.

I hear ya. We pay a weather/beauty tax for the way things are run here. I'll assume the lefty part of your handle is the side of the plate you swing from, not vote.

The commercial non lead 22LR is crap, you are doing well if you can keep out to 4MOA.

One time consuming and expensive option is making your own with the Cutting Edge CuRX .22 kits. The 32gn Cutting Edge 22 bullets work well in a standard gun; the heavier bullets need faster twist barrels. I have the 32gn shooting ~1MOA at 50yds and 1-1/2MOA at 100 yards.

Another alternative is a good pellet gun. The no lead rules only apply to firearms, so you can use traditional lead pellets.

These are the only nonlead option I could find and they are not good. 4" group at 50yds out of my Cz 457 that will shoot most ammo very well and $17.00/box. This lead ban is a joke

With the all the illegal activity here there isn't enough votes at this point. Open borders and free stuff... who will vote against that?
