team tractor Posted May 14, 2022 Report Share Posted May 14, 2022 So reading up on the last basc email and it’s saying lead will be phased out in the next 5 years totally but starting within 18 months . Anyone caught using it after this is open to prosecution. I can’t find any .410 cartridges so without reloading, what will we do ? walker 570 has just produced some home loads for me to test I’ll add but what will the majority of people do ? Lead airgun pellets are on the list too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldypigeonpopper Posted May 14, 2022 Report Share Posted May 14, 2022 Hello, carry on regardless as I cannot see manufactures going over to steel or a substitute for lead any time soon, but why are most steel shot cartridges more expensive or some are than lead with the wholesale price of lead and steel, anyway the amount of cartridges I shoot in a year will hardly dent the lead ban 3 minutes ago, sam triple said: What happens to those who have bulked bought and have not used it by deadline ?
