Has anyone tried the 32gr Nosler lead-free bullets alongside the lead ones? I'd be very interested to know how they went.....Many thanks for any input, Richard Utting

Re: lead-free 32gr noslers
I've use them in both .204" and .224" and can't tell any difference from the lead-core BT's. Ground squirrels, magpies, rock chucks don't seem to know the difference either. 
Accuracy is just as good, really can't tell any difference and use the exact same load data to boot.

Re: lead-free 32gr noslers
I just ran a 100 rounds through my Remington 700 SPS at squirrels in Northern Calif. this past weekend and they worked as well if not a little better upon impact,lots of parts flying through the air,dynamic expansion!

Re: lead-free 32gr noslers
Are you afraid skippy may die of lead poisoning?? Just kidding, I know kalifornicator requires lead free. Just glad we don't have to shoot lead free here. I think I am getting more anti-establishment as I age.
Please, no Sidewinder today!

Re: lead-free 32gr noslers
Kalifornia only requires lead free bullets, in certain areas. i.e Condor zone.. Dumb, but that is the way it is.. Bill KSidewinderwa wrote:Are you afraid skippy may die of lead poisoning??
