That's encouraging. Our federal government is "studying" lead ammunition. What that probably means is our federal government is embarking on a program to ban the use of lead in all ammunition. I better shoot a lot of ammo in a short time. Of course I loaded up with every box of good condition old time ammo I could find from time to time. Anyway, with the barrel bores protected I think tungsten would be a great alternative due to superior penetration. How is it cost-wise? Cheers, Jack
