The battle in America is upland non-tox. I'd have to agree that the waterfowl lead ban is likely irreversible. Modern high speed steel is perfectly effective on waterfowl.

The only problem for our small group of classic doubles fans is non-compatibility. Bismuth is the answer to that problem.

I do not believe science will find a problem with lead upland shot fall anything like the results that were relied upon in some heavily shot over wetlands. In addition, while steel is now comparable with lead for waterfowl purposes it is because of speed and use of larger shot. That combination will not carry over to upland use in my opinion...Geo
