As a member of the forum living in Belgium, this topic is interesting for me, and believe me or not it is not because I have Daryl as friend that I read it we have also a total lead shot ban in our country for 2 yaers now.The lead shot ban is general and not only for waterfowl.Hunters representatives asked many times about a toxicology rapport to know exactly how much they polluted and the inpact on the environment. Well let me tell you that till now nobody came with some trustable document about our quest.But it became reality despite our justified protest.One of your gunwriters, Michael Mc Intosh mention the lead shot ban in his book "Best guns" in 1989 and his is 20 yaers ago. I can only advise all of you to keep protesting and ask to vieuw documents based on serious research, because one time the law is voted it is for ever.
