[QUOTE="SidecarFlip, post: 896506, member: 39764"] ...Between the lead (cored bullets) and the plastic (plastic saboted pills) for front stuffers, soon we will be shooting spit balls..... Obama will like that.:rolleyes: I can see the plastic saboted pill issue. That plastic wrap gets blown out the muzzle and lays in the field for eternity. I can't quite figure out why sabot manufacturers don't use a bio-degradeable plastic, but then, I'm not an engineer. I can also see lead shot as an issue with steel being the logical alternative. With a shotgun, not every pellet impacts the quarry, some pellets miss and fall to earth. I know we harvested a couple ton of sent pills and shot at our club a couple years ago. They actually have machines that you run the soil through and they pull out the lead...amazing. A nice side business I suspect. [/QUOTE]
