Rob,
I would have thought there is not a commercially available cartridge available cheaper than Bismuth. ( I do not consider soft Iron )My favourite is Tungsten Matrix.
Please go to the Public hearing, note the emminent scientists present, listen to their theories, note their reference material, engage them in debate and watch them shuffle and squirm when you point out the various flaws in their theories.Do your research my friend and step forth armed with knowledge and truth.You will sleep a contented man on that night.The very best of good fortune is sent to you.In all the research I have read, saying how Lead kills birds, I have never seen photographs of this devastating waste, floating down the River, lying dead on the lakeside.I have many river keepers as friends and they too have not witnessed this disaster here in the UK.
Do any of you have hard evidence from the US?
