    Well if lead in time is baned from hands on use and regulated for areas of specific purpose
    Copper found a new massive use .
    Still back woods people will keep using lead unless game wardens give fines for lead bullets .
    Some thing is brewing for mass production bullets . the push to remove lead is ongoing.

    A couple of videos regarding these copper bullets compared to the normally used bullets (ie lead core) in hunting,





    Less fragmentation (more weight retention) from the solid copper compared to the lead core, ...makes one think about what they might be eating with the older style lead core bullets due to fragmentation. ....Food for thought here.
    My brother showed be a better video of this comparison last summer, but I'm not sure of it's search description to locate it.

    Hunters will in time be required to use non lead.
    From what I understand England uses plastic bullets , so a mild comparison might end up police maybe told to stop using lead bullets as survivors of non lead will be better off.

    Still if your in your home , minding your own business and a home invasion occurs ,
    as the saying goes " I'm gonna pump em full of lead "
    and now you see what it means.
