[QUOTE="3waycross, post: 1402081, member: 6713"] I don't want to belabor the point but here's a little side note to what the others say about shooting ducks and geese with steel. I was goose hunting about a month ago and when we were done for the day I had a limit but had shot over a box of steel 12ga 3 1/2 in BBB shells. I was telling my buddy that I sure had shot bad and he laughed and said I watched you hit over 15 geese today and saw 4 drop. What do you think happened to the others. They died(somewhere else). So here's the stark reality. Had I been shooting lead I would probably have "killed" 4 birds. As it is I really "killed 15 birds without meaning to. Now do you think that those other 11 birds would have died from ingesting at the most 1 of those lead pellets apiece or maybe none since it was a barley field where it would most likely be disced under........BTW the birds I did bring home of the 4, 3 had broke wings. Otherwise they would have got away to die somewhere else also................the lead ban is :bs: On a side note; My Dad who was a Dentist loved the switch to steel. He laughed all the way to the bank. If you bite a lead pellet you might not break a tooth. Try that with steel. I bit down on one and welded two gold crowns together in the process. [/QUOTE]
