[QUOTE="RockyMtnMT, post: 1927469, member: 7999"] I will say that we did not start making pure copper bullets because of any issues with lead other than excessive meat damage. I personally am not in favor of lead banning legislation. I do often say that there is no good reason to eat lead. I have never researched it much, because it was not my reason for moving away from lead core bullets, but what I see is the lead is near liquid and when impacted at high vel it changes into a mist that goes who knows where. Are these particles small enough to be absorbed? I don't know. I like others on here have eaten more game taken with lead than the average person. I also used to carry split shot in my mouth when I was a kid fishing because I didn't have pockets in my shorts. Just think how smart I would be today if I had not done that! :rolleyes::D Here is a scenario to ponder. Let's say you are seated in a nice restaurant and the waiter comes to the table and offers you water. He gives you a choice of two waters, one that is pure and one that is slightly lead contaminated. Which one would you choose? [/QUOTE]
