    Copper pellets vs Lead

    Hi, Has anyone used copper pellets for target shooting? how do they compare with lead? I see they are available in similar weights to lead pellets, and was wondering if there is a health advantage to handling copper vs lead?

    Heard it somewhere that copper is not good for airgun barrels?, true that copper is no poisonous as lead yet you still need to wash your hands after handling any form of pellets!.
