How long before someone produces a .240 / 6.10mm rifle to avoid the lead ban?

Apologies, Jockistan only.
Don't think so. Google tells me an 80grain bullet in a 24 inch barrel is hight 1500 ft lbs.
I could be wrong, I've been wrong before.
My shooting buddy has one, I’ll ask what he’s getting….
22 creed would do it.
.240 Apex aka .240 Nitro Express or the later awful .244 H & H uses a .245" diameter bullet.
I can't bet my kidneys on it all being this way, but lots of the documents say 'bullet' in reference to the 6.17mm threshold.
So size down and paper patch in a standard barrel, job jobbed.
However I'm not 6mm inclined really, but if I were and wanted similar, I'd get a .25 south of the wall or a .22 north of it. Just easier isn't it.

But .25 is .257!
It is indeed, I'd just use copper and push it fast.
Fortunately I have a .257Wby, so I'm probably OK

Not on the bigger species in England. My 22 Creed will do 2100 ft/lbs with an 80gn bullet, but doesn't meet the min calibre.
Sure it does
That’s punchy. And yes you’re correct about the min calibre.
I stand corrected.

Lead ain’t banned yet……….even if google and AI say it is
BASC will come out with their gloves on & save the day yet
Anyway those wise supreme beings in charge have more to concern themselves with than saving us thicko’s from poisoning ourselves & the planet we live on.
Like where’s all the copper disappeared to? We need it for the super highways to power our electric vehicles

In reality most of the utterances that BASC have come out with are a conditional support for the lead ban !Lead ain’t banned yet……….even if google and AI say it is

Especially when you read here and the various Facebook groups...
With people's reluctance to try new things, I'm surprised the majority of deer aren't still shot with a muzzle loader...
I have one hundred Remington Accelerator .30/06 factory loaded. But FWIW accuracy is maybe 3" to 4" at 100 yards.Sabots anyone?
