        Way back there. the tooth paste tubes were made out of lead. We would cut them up and wrap on our fishing lines for slip sinkers.

            I remember soft metal toothpaste tubes. It never occurred to me that they were made of lead.
            Maybe they weren't in my day.

              We are. Just hoping they expand this further to allow lead back for waterfowl.

                  So, while this corrects the nonsensical ban with bullets and lures, where do slugs fall into the equation? I get it is a "shotshell"... I have been wondering for the last few days...

                    No sir and it is not legal to shoot migratory game birds with either.

                        It doesn't matter how much money you spend on fancy 3" or 3.5" steel it doesn't work as good as lead.

                        I could almost understand the argument for not shooting lead on say public ground, or rice fields where the rice is for human consumption. But no way on private land. And even more ridiculous that you can shoot 10k rounds of lead at dove on the same place in September.

                        The two main reasons people complain about shooting steel at ducks:

                        1. They're bad shots

                        2. They're sky busters and just don't know it.

                        You do not need magnum loads to kill ducks IF you are shooting at ducks that are at reasonable distances.

                        Sure, lead carries more energy, but cheap steel loads will kill ducks stone dead at 40 yards and that is certainly sky busting distance.

                          I don't shoot mags. I shoot Kent fasteel #4. And I don't pull the trigger until their feet are down over the water. Yes I kill a lot of ducks. But there's probably a dozen or more a season I would have also killed if shooting lead.

                            I couldn't agree with you more! Spot on. (but I'd still prefer to shoot 2 3/4" lead #5's for ducks in the timber or #6 lead 3" .410 for early teal. )
