While it's looking more and more like lead from hunter's ammunition is not where California condors are getting all the lead in their bloodstreams, we've had a lead ban shoved up our collective hunting gun chambers in a big chunk of the state, and that ban is likely to be extended in the next few years. The good news is that excellent non-lead bullets and ammunition is starting to come from manufacturers scrambling to make non-lead products.

Hornady Manufacturing announced the first non-lead .17 HMR and .17 Mach II rimfire ammunition that would be condor-zone compliant, along with a non-lead .22 Magnum rimfire, .204 Ruger, and .223 loadings. The new bullets are called NTXs and are available in the Varmint Express line of cartridges. Hornady will also be offering component NTX varmint bullets in .204 and .224 for reloaders, and the company has expanded the GMX line of condor-safe solid copper big game hunting slugs and loaded ammunition to include everything from .243 to .338. You can find out more at www.hornady.com/new-products.

We're still waiting for a .22 long rifle rimfire non-lead round. It has been the hardest nut to crack from a design-performance standpoint. It's coming though. ]]> Small Bore Rifles spectr17 http://www.jesseshunting.com/forums/small-bore-rifles/195576-hornady-announces-non-lead-ammo-jim-matthews.html http://www.jesseshunting.com/forums/small-bore-rifles/195265-mini-14-pistol-grip-illegal-not.html Sat, 14 Nov 2009 04:21:05 GMT Not sure what the exact rules are on what makes an "assault rifle" in california, but is it ok to put a black synthetic pistol grip stock on a Mini-14, or does that make it an "assault rifle". I am going to use it for coyotes, but want to know if I have to put the wooden stock back on it or not.

It is topped with a Bushnell, and is wood with blued barrel. I can get it for 300 cash, is this a good deal. What do you guys think? Between my dad and I we have a few guns, but neither of us own a 22 caliber anymore. Bring on the comments. ]]> Small Bore Rifles Lives2Hunt http://www.jesseshunting.com/forums/small-bore-rifles/194796-thinkin-bout-buying-10-22-but-have-s.html
