UK Lead ban roll-out announced

[Ashcroft9491]

Have a laugh at the UK as they are now banning lead bullets for all game use and tight restrictions on range use of lead

The next step in pushing the reduction of private firearm ownership in the UK

I'm using ttsx already for my deer stalking as read the signs but will this move over to target shooting next!

Anyone using copper bullets for 500yd + target shooting successfully

Toxic lead ammunition banned to protect Britain’s countryside

New ban on use of lead in ammunition to protect iconic wildlife and clean up the nation’s waterways

How many rounds could possibly be sent downrange in the UK ? How many subjects have the right to hunt or own a firearm?

The UK put uber-tight restrictions on private firearms ownership decades ago…

Indeed it is tight already, only circa 500k people in the UK holding a licence

Some target shooters will be low round count in the few hundreds a year , several of my shooting buddies are in the few thousand a year so low compared to the USA
Our Costings to shoot are circa 40% to 50% more than the USA for components/ammunition alone so all relative I guess

definitely a small market but plenty of passion for the sport in our small community
