Good. I hope the libs don't try that here. I suppose Barnes bullet company is upset about this.

They already have, not so rough is it. Try hunting geese or ducks with lead shot, anywhere. Try a lead weight for your downrigger at a lake, or just some lead split shot at a national park.:fighting0074:
And Barnes had nothing to do with IT. They actually supported use of all projectiles.

Ammunition? Does that include lead shot for migratory birds?

I am fairly certain that the Non Toxic shot rules were in place long before the last directive was signed and even at that it was not actually made law when it was signed

I do believe the nontoxic shot for migratory birds is an International Treaty with several countries in the Americas :)

They are talking about rifle bullets too. We all are aware of the non lead for migratory.

As far as I know Barns has never advocated for the banning of led core projectiles. Based on any bullet discussion here Barnes has good support from anyone who uses them. Hard to find any bad review and many seem to use them.

No problem using lead cannonballs in NP

There are many states that have mandated non tic ammo for upland hunting as well, I am not sure about the federal land though .
