[QUOTE="MT-Shooter, post: 2480119, member: 120313"] One thing everyone should consider is the impact that some (maybe all) lead bullets have on Eagles and Hawks. They are doing some excellent studies her in MT in conjunction with the MPG ranch (and probably others). They are finding that bullets that shed most of there weight shortly after impact send off small pieces of lead in all directions through the animal. The birds ingest the lead and we can also. The lead causes the birds talons to curl up so that they cannot use them and slowly starve to death. (This is the simplified explanation). I have been switching over to mono bullets for hunting and have had good luck with 127gr. Barnes LRX bullets from my 6.5 PRC. Now to find a good load for the .300 winnie! [/QUOTE]
