Ask them to show the studies proving that. NY just failed to pass a lead ban because the data didn’t prove it was as toxic as perceived. And that’s a legislature that is controlled by left-wing wingnuts who ban anything right of left. So I call STINK on Boss. Probably owned by some young, moderate people who think they’re environmentally friendly, but also sporting, which as we know is rare. Sporting also means rock, climbing kayaking, and speed skating on an Adirondack lake so take that for what it’s worth.

I saw the same thing when I was thinking of purchasing their products and stopped immediately.I get the feeling the owner is talking down to you/us.They would gladly give up all lead production and then scratch their heads when they're told their product os banned.
I just happened to read the steel shot history in the Lyman Shotshell Reloading Handbook 5th Edition.Which I always questioned the decision and in hindsight more ducks were killed with steel shot than ever with lead poisoning in my opinion.The fact that no direct studies/evidence ever gets published/distributed about the ban.Here's just one goggle search which the opening statement is suspect.Unless I'm reading this wrong it states following the lead ban cripples went down.

try and find hard evidence anywhere that is trust worthy.It doesn't matter as it will never get repealed.But given an inch and they'll take a mile every time.Look at the cost of lead now.

I use lead in the uplands and have tried all types of bismuth for waterfowl. Boss works best in my model 21 duck and Fox wildfowl. When something better comes along ill switch. talking to them in the past was like speaking with teenagers. They should shut up and make ammunition.
