    Sod it...I"m on a rant now. I did email the NGO as a member, asking what they were doing to lobby for biowads. I've had no response.
    What was that survey from a few years ago where it was found that something like 70% of the wildfowl that found its way to market hsd lead shot in it, when it should all have been non toxic?
    Do we wonder why? Bet that figure hasn't changed much has it?
    I'll stick to the steel and plaswad option but I can see the little bits of plastic being next on the hit list and we only have ourselves to blame if we start getting criticised for that, which we will.
    A bit of joined-up thinking regarding the other components of a cartridge wouldn't have gone amiss when our sporting organisations signed us up for a voluntary lead ban.

    Eley have brought out cartridges with bio-degradable wads. How long it will be before the wads can be bought from them, if ever, is anyones guess.
    I think it would make sense to market the wads. It is good for the environment and good advertising for Eley.
