From post #3
I've seen some pretty convincing evidence that shows microscopic (but still toxic) pieces of lead getting scattered throughout the meat of deer that was shot with a traditional lead bullet. I can see how those would cause problems both in carrion eaters and in humans.
I diint know who say these 'pieces of lead' getting into venison. The CDC analized burger and decl;ared it ok after some other govt agency said it was killing people.
I still maintain more waterfowl are lost due to wounding than from eating lead. That was esp true in the first few years of 'steel shot'.
Some jurisdictions are after lead simkers and lures.
Bullet cos are leading use down the path with 'non-toxic' bullets. I dont think any have been proven toxic' yet...and most likey never will be.
