Thread: Environmental Impact

I really like the reusable grocery bags...this has been bothering me for a while...hopefully I can find something good. I also reuse water bottles for a while so that I waste less plastic. I only buy 100% recycle paper products. Of course I shoot around at least 10,000 rounds of lead bullets a year...but with the new technology hopefully the green rounds will be affordable soon...

Oh ya...and Im about as right wing as you can get...can still be conservative and care about the planet...just cant let any of my friends see me hugging a tree or anything

Honestly if you shoot into a berm, a huge percentage of the lead is salvageable. You just might have to add some antimony to the alloy if you want it hard enough to cast. The lead from jacketed rounds is really pure and too soft to use on its own.

I wonder how much study of those green bullets has actually been done to assess their long term impact as they degrade and infiltrate aquifers etc. at least the lead usually stays put long enough to recover.

Rounds with wooden plugs for heads and mulch for powder?

Great joke I heard in a cabaret performance:

Treehugger: Do you ever listen to the trees?
Builder: Yes, when they are crackling in the hearth
