Pond Plinking?

The no lead shot is actually wildfowl, in England and Wales you can not use lead to shoot wildfowl, in Scotland you can use lead to shoot wildfowl but only over fields and not water. Lead shot can be used to shoot anything else such as pheasants, pigeons, etc, over water or on land.

SSI sites though I believe you cant use lead shot.

The campaign started by the shooting organisations was to remove lead shot from quarry shooting that goes on to the food chain, however it has slightly backfired when H&S got hold of it and now looking to band lead shot in shotguns completely.

Well sort of, but you've got a few facts wrong
It was the food marketing people (British Game Alliance ??) who decided to only accept game shot with lead free for sale, which has forced the shooting organisations to push going lead free, if the meat is for the food chain.

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.
