Preparation for lead ban

[DesG]

Certainly supportive but written in 2016 and plenty of time for politicians to change their tune.

I recieved a questionaire regarding shooting and the use of lead from NSRA last week, My feelings are that the more of us shooters who answer these things the more likely our voice will be heard.
However I did stress a point that due to the cost of lead ball and we BP shooters being what we are, the majority of us pick up our lead from the buttstop at end of shooting each time and take it home to recycle into more ball for us to reuse.
Hence the 90% recovery of spent lead which the EU were wanting to enforce is easily reached any time I go shooting a BP Gun.
I also questioned what might be the thoughts for people who collect old cartridges, maybe a box or two of any said calibre which has a far greater collector value than would be seen by shooting it so not a chance of it being fired and entering any water course.
