lowlander Posted October 10, 2009 Report Share Posted October 10, 2009 when i was coming home from shooting today i was looking at the can of bisley silicone gun il that we use to clean our shotguns, and noticed that on the back it said "do not swallow, if swallowed seek medical advice" then i thought that because we use it to clean inside the barrels is it safe to eat what we shoot, as the lead would have touched it and therefore we'd have swallowed it. so is the game ok to eat or is it just me being paranoid :unsure: lowlander Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David BASC Posted October 10, 2009 Report Share Posted October 10, 2009 Relax, the volume of oil on pellets is so tiny it will do not harm at all. David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imperfection Posted October 10, 2009 Report Share Posted October 10, 2009 I think you'd ingest more oil and chemicals from standing next to a busy road for 20 minutes than lead shot which has passed through a gun barrell in a split second.

George1990 Posted October 12, 2009 Report Share Posted October 12, 2009 I think the fact the toxic lead has touched the meat would be more of a worry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MC Posted October 12, 2009 Report Share Posted October 12, 2009 Do you really leave that much oil in your barrels before you fire? Personally I have never left oil in any gun barrel, it is an accident waiting to happen and completely unnecessary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
