Personnally I think the use of non steel shot safe guns will be very limited if there is a total lead ban. Even if the alternatives are $2 a shell vs. $3 trap and skeet would become to costly for most to participate. An average Sunday ATA trap shoot is a 300 target program, state shoots 700 target. At $3 a shell will you be shooting 3 or 3 rounds of recreational skeet each weekend much less a competitive program? It seems some of you are thinking in the context of your own upland or waterfowl hunting where generally fewer shells are expended. My favorite past time of crow shooting has me burning through 600 rounds a year on average. Ammo going from $5 a box of reloads to $75 of "green" ammo will make that hobby cost prohibitive. Sadly for large volume shooting sports if lead is banned steel remains the only affordable alternative which means bye bye classic double hello 870.
