Sporting Gun

No alternativ­e to lead

-

Another great issue this month (November). I am pleased that you are getting the steel shot issue into open discussion, which has not been the case with a lot of shooting publicatio­ns. I am also glad to see that Robin Scott is back in fighting mode again with another great article.

I have heard that a lot of shooters have already suffered damage to their guns, which does not bode well for any shooting future with anything other than lead shot. I believe that there is no suitable alternativ­e. I think that gun dealers should avoid giving advice as to the suitabilit­y of non-lead cartridges lest they be sued for issuing bad advice.

People’s guns are already being damaged beyond repair.
