Because of OSR. (Over Stressed Rifleing).
There is credible reports of the barrels showing the rifleing on the OUTSIDE of these thin barrels after fifing monometal bullets thru them. I won't chance my valuable rifles when there are so many other premimum bullets available.
If you're in a lead free zone of California where mono's are the law.... The vote your elected representives out and change the stupid law.
(Sorry to sugar coat it.)
Side note; Hoser the origionator of this thread either sold or was selling his Chapuis because of this law and mono's.
