| Post subject: | Poll Question on lead versus heavier then lead loads |
Two questions, How many members are shooting non-lead loads this year? And how many members are hunting with a gun older then they are??  For me its both. I'm shooting heavier then lead loads in my SBE (Mag-blend) and I'm shooting lead loads in my 112 year old Parker (RST's (considerably older then I am)). Where I hunt will determine which gun I use. |

3 inch winchester extended range #6's or 3 inch magnum blend out of my winchester 1300 NWTF edition 12 guage. The gun is older than i am, i think it was bought in the mid 80's....i was born shortly after that

Lead from my 105-year old LC Smith, which I have used to kill three turkeys. 3" Winchester extended range #6's, backed up by 3" Hevishot #2's, from my Rem 1187 which is what I usually use for turkey hunting. I use the LC Smith, which I inherited from my grandfather, mostly for squirrel hunting now. |

I use lead. Thought about getting some HTL for my son but will just make sure the bird is close enough. Guess I will go to lead when they ban it, hope the day never comes. Vic |
