Non-Lead Ammunition –
Marcus Strange from the Montana Wildlife Federation will talk about the benefits of using non-lead/copper bullets for big game hunting. Lead core bullets will typically shed about 30% of their weight upon impact, mostly as lead fragments that can scatter a fair distance from the wound channel.
