Discussions on a move from lead shot to steel whether it was time to stop shooting lead and change to steel.
There are other alternatives, but tungsten, bismuth are all much more expensive than lead.
Only steel can begin to match lead for price and for game and pigeon shooting it seems the only really viable alternative.
The arguments against the use of lead are well rehearsed.
Lead is toxic and its harmful effects on the central nervous system have been known since Roman times.
It has been banned from water pipes, paint, petrol and children’s toys.
Heavy metals such as lead tend to accumulate in the body’s tissues because animals lack a physiological system for getting rid of them.
Predators and scavengers eating other animals that already have lead in their bodies end up collecting up and storing the metal — sometimes to lethal concentrations.
Ingestion of lead shot is a significant cause of death in wild birds and the latest science shows that even low-level lead poisoning affects birds’ ability to fight off disease.
Waitrose has insisted all of its game is lead-free from the start of the 2020 shooting seasonis a tacit admission that lead is a barrier to marketing game meat more widely.
The case for lead shot is also well known. Its supporters claim it kills more cleanly and at greater range than steel. They also quite rightly point out that many older guns are not proofed for steel shot and the choice of chokes that can be used with it is restricted. These last two points are absolutely correct. Steel shot in your grandfather’s side-by-side is a recipe for disaster and tight chokes with steel shot are not a good idea.
Cleaner kills with lead?
But what of the claims that lead kills more cleanly and at greater range than steel and that it patterns better? There are no end of amateur physicists among shooters who will tell you about the momentum of a pellet versus momentum of a load.
Many of the leading self-appointed experts are American and publish their work via YouTube, where you can educate yourself with endless videos of pumpkins being shot.
Leaving aside theoretical physics and pumpkins, what does experience tell us? This was the centre of the debate between our two wildfowlers. The Scot was reluctant to change to steel because he insisted it did not kill as effectively, the Englishman disagreed. But we do have scientists who have studied the issue.
The lethality of something is the measurement of how effective it is at killing and the lethality of steel and lead shot has been repeatedly compared. The results are surprising.
One line you will often hear about steel shot is that it used to be rubbish but it is now much better, so the time is right to change. The science does not bear this out. Even in the late 1970s, when scientists compared lead and steel shot they found no difference between the two in how well they killed or the range at which they were effective. The conclusion that steel kills as well as lead, does so at long range and does not lead to more wounding is consistent.
Recently, American scientists reviewed the use of two types of steel shot and one type of lead shot on mourning doves. They did not tell hunters whether they were using lead or steel. They then monitored the shooting of more than 1,000 doves. Their conclusions were clear.
“There were no differences in the number of attempts, or number of shots fired among ammunition types,” they reported. “Hunters were unable to distinguish the ammunition type being used in the field, and we detected no relationship between ammunition type and level of hunter satisfaction. Field analyses detected no difference in doves bagged per shot, wounded per shot, bagged per hit, or wounded per hit among the three ammunition types.”
