    The future of Lead

    Hey, it’s totally ok man. You’ve got your mind made up already and that’s not going to change with any amount of supporting evidence. You’re human and that’s human nature. Most people aren’t scientists and many of them distrust science as a whole and won’t believe anything labelled as such. It’s...

    The future of Lead

    This is a secondary source which cites primary sources that have done independent research studies on this topic. You can find the original studies by using the information from the secondary source that I linked. It is also perfectly acceptable in science to do these types of comparison...

    The future of Lead

    In addition to my other reply, here is another good secondary source which links to many independent research studies; https://www.ehn.org/amp/lead-ammunition-in-meat-2645108170 The full-fledged, peer-reviewed, scientific journal articles can be read in their entirety by using the links...

    The future of Lead

    Here: https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/wild-game-deer-venison-condors-meat-lead-ammunition-ban/ Which lists multiple independent research studies at universities and by the CDC. Again, not saying that anyone has died from lead tainted meat, but that there exists elevated lead levels in...

    20 gauge recommendations?

    You mentioned ducks, so I don’t think a 28 gauge will serve you well in that capacity. Ever seen 28 gauge steel duck loads? Me neither. For my vote, I’ll throw in my recommendation for a Browning OU in 20 gauge if you can take the recoil (not much, but more than a semi). Brownings are excellent...

    Worst Rifles

    Glad to hear you’ve had good results with your 7400. The one I have may grow on me after I shoot it, but I also got a great deal on a Browning BAR in 30-06 recently, so it will be hard for me not to compare the two and I always really like Brownings.

    The future of Lead

    I’ve read some good research that shows hunters who use lead have a higher blood concentration than non-hunters but also fail to prove there’s a medical consequence of the elevated lead levels that were found in the study. So I don’t think anyone is going to die from eating meat with some lead...

    Worst Rifles

    I may second the Remington 7400. I recently bought one in near perfect condition in .270 and I already don’t care for it and I haven’t even fired it yet! As far as I know, it’s a perfectly functioning and accurate rifle but one trip to the workbench for cleaning has convinced me that it’s way...

    Talk me out of 300 WSM

    Ok, fine, I’ll do it. In a light enough gun to carry through the mountains, it will kick the living daylights out of you. I’ve shot (twice) 300 wsm through a Tikka T3 light and I said never again. In a hunting scenario, may not matter much, but I like to practice shooting without feeling it the...

    .257 Roberts frustration

    I have good luck with 100 grain nosler ballistic tips over IMR 4350 and with 87 grain hornady spire points over 4064. My rifle is an older tang safety Ruger.
