I know cartridges are expensive but I would have told that gunshop where they could put their 50 cartridges- base first.
The legislation is a solution to a non-existent problem, but is inevitable in the current situation.
At least (fingers crossed) the current proposals spare .22 rimfire lead ammunition and lead air gun pellets for pest control for lack of viable alternatives.
In centre fire hunting ammunition non-lead expanding bullets are available but in many calibres will be a re-loading only proposition.
For shotguns Bismuth is almost as good as lead, but monstrously expressive.
Getting satisfactory .410 ammunition is going to be a real problem.
