Hi Richard. Thanks for your thoughtful response. I'm pleased and not surprised that California is ahead of the feds at this point in time, especially given what this administration is doing with reversing and rolling back decades of conservation and environmental protection (see link below). The lead shot ban is just one of a long list. Not all sanctuary waters are within California's jurisdiction, so I'm still concerned that lead shot may now be legal again in federal waters. I'm not an expert on shotgun pellets, but doesn't the increased velocity of lighter steel and tungsten pellets offset at least most of the impact loss due to their lighter weight?
