If you don't shoot a lot of shells per year in the field and therefore you are not concerned with a negative economic impact from a broader non-tox mandate, consider what a lead ban may do to the resale value of your classic american doubles. I suspect all but the most collectable specimins will lose value in the market and the overall interest in classic doubles will wane due to their limited usefulness in a non-tox shot world. 20+ years later after lead was banned for waterfowling, no replacement has been found that meets all three criteria of economical, effective and safe for old doubles.
