 Poll Question on lead versus heavier then lead loadsTwo 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. _________________ "Turkey's have no curiosity" |

Re: Poll Question on lead versus heavier then lead loads lead. 3 inch winchester 1 3/4 oz . As far as gun age, its sort of like with cars , trucks or me.: Check the mileage and not the year model!!! I have a lot of miles. My guns have a lot of miles. hhhaa

Re: Poll Question on lead versus heavier then lead loads Heavy shot in both my Valmet and the Super Black Eagle. How old are you anyway? SBE's are not that old.

Re: Poll Question on lead versus heavier then lead loads 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.

Re: Poll Question on lead versus heavier then lead loads 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.
