Balls
Suppliers have been blaming everyone else

No-one is shooting steel shotgun cartridges in the middle east or ukraine

They can still produce huge volumes of lead cartridges
They have very little volume in steel which is easier to produce
they have not addressed any of the 410/28/20bores

Not many propellant powder manufactures in the EU who do you think takes preference recreational sporting or NATO?

Why would a manufacture if struggling to get components for recreational use make other than their most popular selling products or invest in biodegradable wads with no market until a legal ban.

Why do you think steel is easier to produce? if it’s that easy may be you should start manufacturing the cartridges.
 
They did, but their focus was primarily environmental concerns, this time it is being driven by the ECHA.
As others have said we aren't in the EU anymore, but the platform on which these restrictions are based is the LAG report.
Or so LAG Chairman John Swift claimed when discussing HSE proposals in January of this year:-
"It reflects to large extent the recommendations of the LAG report"
 
have i missed something did we not have a vote to leave the EU
It has been claimed, probably spuriously, by BASC that the UK effort to ban lead was instigated by the UK trade to protect exports to the EU. There's no evidence presented of any market participant stating such, nor of the scale of any exports, nor of the economic net benefits of doing this. etc etc. i.e. It's all just more bullsh1t.

We've had a Kremlinesque avalanche of misinformation about this from BASC, variously making spurious claims about science, about food safety, about EU trade, about the possibility of altering the laws of physics, about their own activities, about the existence of a proposed ban, and even extraordinarily an insistence on accepting the validity of incorrect claims in methodologically defective papers published by antis - and on promoting the fabrications as fact to their members.
 
That was the Queen of Hearts.

you have pursued the individual concerned through several threads on this forum endlessly repeating as fact your single mistaken belief and refusing to heed or accept explanation or clarification.
Do you really think that the individual concerned made numerous statements on a public forum unless the organisation was aware of and supported those contributions?
Do you think he spends the hours he does on this and other fora because he’s bored?
Its his job, he represents his employer.
Had those statements been unofficial we would have heard by now and the individual would have been sanctioned.
And you call me slow?
Are you disputing the fact that the individual involved relentlessly posted on forums information and opinion that supported restrictions on the use of lead shot that was contrary to BASC policy of opposing further lead shot ?
Furthermore are you stating that BASC condoned his actions despite those actions being contrary to BASC policy ?
Have you evidence to support your claims that undermining BASC policy by any of their employees was supported by that organisation?
Clement Attlee ???? Are you kidding me ?
I notice you’ve convinced your boy Mike L. :rofl:
 
How so?

Pardon my error, British prime ministers weren’t a big factor in the curriculum here.
It was Chamberlain
Indeed.
Attlee actually opposed the Munich Agreement. Nonetheless, it is only an Irishman who could look at the Munich Conference and conclude that the hypocrite wasn't Hitler but Chamberlain.
