I am a lead recycler via the state of washingrad. Been collecting since the 80s.
If you look up the compound they use for the new wheel weights, you will find they are just as deadly to the birds as lead wheel weights...
You just cant make bullets out of them.

Yet I can drive a few hours to the sunny side of the state and pick up lead nodules right off the ground.

Sometime back I read where two condors were found dead. One of them, they claimed, died from ingesting lead tainted carrion. Ooookay... but get this. The second condor died from ingesting a quarter. Does this mean quarters will be banned? Don't hold your breath.

I think it means the 2nd condor needed "change"

I remember a guest on a long forgotten podcast commenting the "study" the cali lead ban was based upon found the lead (quite different than the lead in bullets) the birds had ingested came from paint as used on power transmission pylons, highway guard rails, and even the enclosures the studied bird were housed.

Another “good“ reason for the psychopaths to institute CBDC.

First , the govt. closes the shooting ranges down for some BS environmental reason. Then many of us will have nowhere to shoot.
We moved to our present location with isolation and survival top on the list. I have a 100 yard range with a covered shooting bench. I don't have to depend on anyone for anything.

I think my supply of powder and lead will out live me
I worked for a roofer that did about 90% tear offs and the foreman and I both kept all the lead flashing and pipe jacks, some were pretty dirty but melting and skimming got me maybe 4-5 tons of good dead soft plus a good 6 tons of wheel weights for the unmentionables.

Oh, I believe they "get it" just fine, and whattya know.... in California, they're winning. You'll hear from them again sometime in the future about all that target lead you folks have put in the sacred soil of California.
You can count on that.
