The truth about modern hunting bullets: Good Bye Lead - Yes, we can!!!

The truth is - lead is and remains toxic - Good bye lead

The topic is actually quite simple. Lead is and remains toxic. You learn this as a child in primary school - and We all know that!

We also know that many hunters today Hunting ammunition with stretched trajectory prefer. Wondering why? Quite simply, it means you don't have to worry so much about the Ballistics of a projectile at greater distances. BUT that in turn requires high speeds with the projectiles.

The problem: High speeds and soft lead just don't get along so well. With the Impact of the projectile the bullet jacket is torn open and the soft Lead becomes downright shredded, in many small partsup to Lead powder.

From Hunters and biologists from the Institute for Wildlife Studies Jake Theryl and Leland Brown and from the National Park Service Jim Petterson and Dan Ryan A study was carried out in the USA in 2011. In a very interesting practical test, leaded and lead-free ammunition was tested in various ways. The Test criteria were: Storey expansion and Fragmentation (water bombardment) and Penetration (ballistic gelatine) and its significance for humans and animals.

But beware - the price after viewing this study: You can no longer pretend you don't know!

The copper alloy material as a solution for copper hunting bullets and lead-free ammunition

After extensive research and many field tests, Sax defined a suitable copper alloy as the base material for the optimum copper hunting bullet. Thanks to the specially treated copper alloy, it is now possible for Sax Munitions GmbH to produce a modern fragmentation hunting bullet with a residual bolt with outstanding properties. The result: barrel fouling and bullet penetration pressure have been minimised.

Main differences between the KJG and classic, press-produced Lead bullets:

  • More precision through production on state-of-the-art CNC machines
  • More range due to higher speed
  • More shooting comfort due to less recoil
  • More killing effect through targeted splintering effect
  • More probability of rejects due to residual bolts
  • More health - No lead in venison
  • Less game board devaluation
  • Less barrel friction - less barrel heating - Better shot pattern through guide belts
  • No environmental pollution due to lead-free material

Risk: High-quality food - poisonous harvest - poisoned creatures

Based on the results of the studies, there is only one question left: Is lead-free important to us or not? As long as this is a Hunting law not standardised this question can only be decided by the hunter or game enthusiast himself.

I decide for myself what I buy - game and/or ammunition.

The following video sums it up once again. With We are poisoning our food with leadtherefore ourselves and our environment.

    Interesting contribution. Many people don't realise the effects of lead at all. Articles like this are always very helpful.
