Ed,
I don't have a problem with any of your posts. You are right on the money.

Many folks will protest any and all change that affects them, but being a realist, it is going to happen. Meanwhile, my damascus and wood 19th century doubles are still working. Even with waterfowl.

Putting one's head in the sand while crying about the sky falling will not get the job done. Studying up and understanding the problem will. I think it's reasonable to fight for lead for a long time to come in many areas of hunting. But not all. From the scan I did this morning, I would question the use of lead for doves and need to read more. For other upland birds like quail, I can't see the need for change.

All of my guns are functionally if not actually 19th century or earlier. The use of lead is a really big deal to me, but I don't fool myself that it is always inconsequential to the be flining it out there.
