FYI. Addieville is requiring non-tox shot for field hunts. They asked my son and I to shoot steel when we were there in December for a put-hunt. Talked to the GM about it and as I was shooting a Win M21 he let me shoot lead (not his preference) my son shot steel (purchased there) in his Beretta O/U. GM stated that for a large major sporting clay tournament, shooters expend 7-8 tons of lead over 3-4 days. For field hunts they prefer non-tox shot and invision same for clays in the future. Going non-tox at vintage gun events will certainly put a financial hurt on the shooters. In any gun, 100-200 rounds of bismuth, steel or other non-tox will certainly make for an expensive weekend. Glad though, that they are looking at how to clean up their lead issues.
