Lead free ammo?

[chris42]

I did a search, nothing came up for "lead free" which surprised me. We all know eating lead isn't a good thing, but in reality is ingestion of lead from a bullet a real concern, or a hyped up thing? Seems lead free ammo runs 2-3 times as much, but is it worth it? What about if real young kids are going to be eating the meat?

You don't need lead free ammo for hunting. If you shot in an indoor range without adequte ventilation, I'd worry more about it.

That being said, I like the Barnes TSX for hunting. They are expensive bullets, but they work. I've killed a couple of deer last year with my 5.56. Worked like champs.
