Lot to unpack here. Cursory scan—- tremendous amount of lies and referencing “studies” that are total crap or not related.

Would be interested to hear opinions on if CPW will decide to take this up.

With how it's been going here, I'm sure they will. I won't be surprised to see it become law.

If these happens not only will you not be able to use a .223 in CO, but no TMK's either! With no roksliders applying maybe I can finally get some good elk tags


I did google some of the petitioners. WOW....speechless

 

[Bluumoon]

Yeah, this isn’t going away

Given the wording, probably would also restrict muzzleloaders you think?

How?

Lead free ammo for centerfire cartridges is pretty available and ballistically sufficient.

Lead free for shotgun rounds really sucks unless you're turkey hunting. Makes an upland shoot far more expensive.

Lead free rimfire options are essentially non-existent.

 

[43.6N]

How?

To be fair, this is the citizens proposal. What it evolves into if it gets picked up is anyone’s guess.

I expect them to copy other lead free states. California notably you must use lead free muzzleloading projectiles.

But that’s my take on it. Would love to hear other’s opinions

Are you aware of copper muzzleloading bullets?

Well aware.
Where are you going with this?

CO wants to be little CA so bad.

Oh I see. You were unclear on whether a proposal to ban lead ammunition from "handguns, rifles, and shotguns" applied to muzzleloaders. Yep! Muzzleloaders can be all the above. Glad I cleared that up for you.

You think smoothbore muskets would find a loophole as not being shotgun or rifle?

Dude, what’s with the attitude?
I genuinely have no ill-will to you or your opinions.

I have a vested interest in this discussion.

Goodness should have known this was coming… don’t want to have to buy all lead free and get that stuff dialed in, such a stupid thing… good luck enforcing it with centerfires

Yep, Thors are okay… hornady eld-x are mo betta…

Lib cancer is spreading rapidly throughout the West and will destroy everything they don't like.
In our lifetimes I would imagine they are going to ban hunting entirely in the Ultra Progressive states.
