Leonard, not wishing to be rude , but congratulations on your naivety ! It makes not one iota of difference whether you shoot over a loch, lake or sheep dip , it's water and you need non-toxic. All this came about because we Brits were lead by the nose after a bunch of Greenies listened to Californians bleating about Snow Geese , Bald Eagles , Condors and using lies and falsehoods about the toxicity of Lead and how efficient soft iron was as an alternative. Twenty years later we are still hobbled by the lack of an efficient alternative to lead shot.
