‚Non-toxic‘

[Steff]

I find it very irritating when people call non-lead ammunition ‚non-toxic‘.

The use of this term is an unreflected repetition of the phrasing used by folks who oppose shooting and stalking in general. By doing so you are playing into their hands!

Call it what it is please. Copper, brass, steel, whatever, but not non-toxic.

Given that copper is toxic I’m inclined to agree. Why not just call it lead-free?

this is what it is called in Denmark, Blyfri (leadfree) and in german as well i think the commonly used term is leadfree.

Spot on.
