[QUOTE="73driver, post: 1925834, member: 36473"] Growing up we ate a lot of dove and duck. Every time we dined on such there would be a pellet or two of lead shot found while chewing. The pellet would get spit out and after dinner the lucky finder got a "prize". I don't think we swallowed any shot to speak of. Must have processed several dozen big game animals shot with Sierra GK's and found few fragments and cut out a lot of blood shot/damaged meat. I can't see how a fragment small enough to miss can travel through enough meat to get past the blood shot area. Never shewed on a fragment of lead from deer or elk meat and remember have a lot of practice finding bird shot. Is it a threat? I believe its a minimal one but hey do what you need to to be comfortable. [/QUOTE]
