We've probably overworked this one, but I think I was in more danger from cutting myself on the remainder of the copper jacket on that Nosler than from swallowing the lead. I think, even at age 60, my innards still function well enough to expel the lead! I am also still nimble enough of tongue to find just about anything size 8 or larger before I swallow it. Can't say about #9 as I haven't used them for awhile.
In AZ they require copper bullets around the Grand Canyon to save the introduced California condos from lead poisoning. I guess I'd be more concerned about their starving to death considering they evolved dining on ground sloths and mammoths, not puny mule deer.
