Don't forget copper shot as well.
The Euro shooting community is thriving.
At every income level.
Taking your education from poor, old, non shooting, non hunting, people, with social issues, and no experience, might lead to a biased and inaccurate education.
Another question is, do the Europeans require nontoxic shot the way America is starting to require it, which today is for all waterfowl, almost all public hunting lands, and the entire State of California for hunting anything?
And I'm so against nontoxic shot, words cannot express it.
But the writing is on the wall, here in America, against lead in all forms. Lead in the gas, lead in the paint, lead toy soldiers lead glass crystal, have all went the way of asbestos in my lifetime.
Shooting in America is thriving too, but when the US military and the entire State of California is outlawing lead projectiles, it's not long before the do gooders decide that lead shot itself, is the problem.
Another problem is the recent introduction of seven dollars a box cheap steel factory loads. Americans say they like the best, and buy the cheapest. Scrap iron is much cheaper per pound than scrap lead, and if loaded steel shotgun shells become cheaper than loaded cheap lead shotgun shells, the do gooders won't have to regulate anything to make lead shotgun shells disappear from the shelves.
Every new shotgun made in the United States in the last thirty years will handle steel shot, and like it.
It's the old Belgian Brownings, and old double guns I own so many of, that are threatened with steel shot.
