I'd think it could get interesting watching a game warden's face as you explain to him your round balls you are hunting with are made with bismuth and not lead. It wouldn't surprise me if you ended up having to prove it to a judge in the end, so you could avoid the fine, get your muzzleloader back from the authorities, etc.....not to mention the hiring of a lawyer to defend you.
Maybe this is overthinking the situation, but it's just a strange situation anymore, anywhere along the west coast.
