Discussion millions of time. 
 

It’s a “voluntary ban” ... I shall just carry on using lead. 
 

Most guns will take non-HP steel guns no problem. 
 

I think there’s even a 2 1/2” steel

cart now. 

Yeah it will be voluntary by the cartridge manufacturers and shops not to sell lead carts .

So when you cant buy them there will be nothing voluntary  for you about it .

Cartridge manufacturers and shops sell what people want. 
 

Why would they stop selling Lead? 
What’s in it for them? 
 

If one shop stops doing lead and another sells it people who want lead will drive past the shop that don’t sell it to go to the other one. 
 

If it’s not enforced then why would one shop stop selling it?

Sorry if this has been asked before but just thinking about lead shot and the ban tat is coming in in a few years time. What is going to happen with my guns that can't take Steel shot? Again apologies if this has been discussed etc

What are your guns that cannot take steel shot?

Er I think they sell what makes the best profit 

not everyone has the luxury of being within easy driving distance of alternative shops

If one shop sells lead and one doesn’t and people want lead then the shop that tries to force steel onto its customers can’t make much profit if the customers go elsewhere surely? 
 

Justcartridges can deliver your choice of carts to your doorstep.

I live in mainland U.K. so apologies I have not checked elsewhere. 

 

I would have thought however the vast majority of cartridges get sold on mainland U.K. ? 🤷‍♂️
 

Economies of scale etc.

Yes they will sell them where the profit is, I thought you were saying there is more profit in cartridge shops selling steel over lead? 

 

Do you currently have issues getting cartridges where you are? :hmm: If not why would they stop selling cartridges up your way in future?

Down my way 

we have what we can get which is inevitably the cartridges with the most profit for the supplier

That’s the thing with forums when sweeping comments are made it’s rarely considered that some are not afforded the luxury of the location that the posters live in or the problems incurred in obtaining the goods

Yes, sorry but it's hard to take into account every person in every corner of the UK though. 

As with most things, comments and plans put in place for the most benefit to the most people.

At some point there wont be the choice of lead. Wont be made. 

Possibly not, but the voluntary phase out only effects live quarry shooters, or in particular game shooters....if they choose to phase it out of course. 
Im assuming if there’s a demand, and manufacturers choose to supply that demand, it will still be available. If not game shooters will possibly just buy trap cartridges. 🤷‍♂️
I intend to stockpile my favourite game cartridges.

Agreed, but I fear it Could be the slow beginning of the end for lead, but who knows.
