Seems a sensible step.
Lead weights for fishing were banned (or at least very restricted) since many years ago…
Yes, yes, yes, it won’t help the animal that is shot with a non-lead bullet but it’s still removing a source of lead from the environment.
>There is an exemption for the outdoor shooting of permitted birds and animals using small-calibre bullets
So lead will still be getting into the environment to some extent then.
>Also exempt are airguns, and ammunition used by elite athletes, the military, police and in outdoor target shooting ranges with risk management measures.
And it’s fine to shoot people with lead but not animals lol.
The ones I go to for shooting use steel bearings as lead is banned as it’s close to a water source.
Wernt small bore exempt?
177hmr, .22lr and airgun stuff?
The already diminished shooting community in the UK takes another L
Not to say the ban itself is a bad thing, just a shame we don’t have better steel ammunition to bridge the change to lead-free
