I've always followed the rule to cut away all blood shot meat. I've not had a problem for years. That said, I was eating a deer stew last winter and bit into a piece of gliding metal. My Nosler BT apparently blew up when it hit the deer's spine.
Stuff sometimes ends up where you don't expect it to go. It was a first, and I have to admit it brought me up short. I wouldn't want one of my kids to bite into that (or lead).
As my supplies of lead ammo depletes through scope-sighting, practice and hunting, I'm switching to copper ammo to use for hunting.
