The future of the shooting sports isn't with us boomers, it's with the young gun Benelli auto-jammer magnumitis crowd who think that Boss has developed a magic elixir type ammo that makes game fall from the sky just from the mention that you're using Boss ammo. I can just imagine a ducks last thoughts were, Thank god I was killed by Boss Bismuth rather than that evil lead

Right or wrong ammo manufactures have been duping us shotgunners forever! Damascus is dangerous and a sure trip to death or dismemberment, lubaloy shot has twice the killing power of chilled shot, you need to use 12ga 1 3/4oz super magnum high brass #4's to kill a pheasant and it's a must that you have 20 super-duper ported screw-in choke tubes with you at all times. Boss is simply marketing to the generations that's been indoctrinated with the we have to save the planet, EV's are great, lead will kill you if even touch it with your bare hands & big brother has our best interests at heart with banning lead ammunition.

I don't like it, but spending a bunch of time fighting it is probably akin to pushing a rope

You nailed it Paul.

We should all do as we see fit.

Apparently this has snowballed a bit. I got no response from a call or email but the Google review did finally get one. Just some blah blah blah, but it's apparently starting to get their attention at least.

Perfect. Proof that one man can make a difference...

I took a moment to send the link to this thread to Boss. I told them I expected their position may hurt business. Here is a copy of the response I recieved.

Hi MArk!

Thank you for sharing. It's amazing the things people will post when ignorance is celebrated on the internet. We support the extensive research SLF has done, and as a small business in today's America, actually believe we could use a little less government and don't support a sweeping lead ban of any sort. We developed a shell that is a direct replacement for lead to be used by waterfowlers, and think that is trap shooters would rather shoot lead (which I believe is the intention of the initial post) they should be free to do so. We're happy to talk through any questions you may have!

Thank you again for your time and support, we certainly appreciate it!

Mark, thanks for sharing.

“Ignorance celebrated on the internet”. This statement feels a lot like the Bud Light marketing executive’s comment about their customers. Feels very patronizing and apathetic to a concern by either customers or potential customers. I think the dichotomy here is saying you do not support a ban on lead, yet you donate to an organization whose mission is to do just that.

After this got posted, pretty much everything they said is out the window.

Dan,
I may not be following the whole conversation appropriately. But, what is the complication you are speaking to?

Dean, The reply Mark received from Boss sure seemed straight forward but the exhibit someone sent me sure indicates that Boss has a strong position against the "poison" we shoot targets with.
