And the HSE are only following a Europe wide wide proposal to completely ban lead projectiles,
thankfully after Gov't consultation it appears airguns & rimfire have been exempted & centrefire granted a time extension,
but because lead free shotgun carts already exist it does look like a lead ban for them

Anyway I can't find the article, but still advise against it.
The BGA or whatever they are called decided that and then the shooting organisations decided to jump on the bandwagon. The fact that BASC pretty much own the BGA with the amount of "loans" they have gave them.
