my apologies. Error in conversion thinking grains and put grams.
It seems my conversion error will serve as a perfect excuse for people to leave carcasses in the field with frangible ammo lodged inside. I guess, go for it.
It has only resulted in the ban of lead in much of California already. It'll hit BLM land (most of the Western US) next when some clown outfitter brings some city boys out to clear 10 prairie dog towns and the media takes video of raptors running around in circles on the ground dying of lead toxicity.
Or, someone could be on the right side of history by simply cleaning up after themselves and not being a sportsman that is part of the problem.
The problem with the argument is simple: I'm stating there is evidence and regardless of the amount of damage which we can debate, I can prove at least some amount of damage. The opposing side says they will ignore the evidence and continue doing an activity that may be harmful until they are satisfied. Since it costs little to nothing to err on the side of cautious cleanup, I'd say it sounds like these folks will not be persuaded.
