Serious?? A felony over a damned lead ball?or even if they asked you to swear you were complying? are you going to compound your misdemeanor, with a Felony?

Rotometal 281 alloy, which is 58% bismuth and 42% tin. You need to get some and cast it, to see where the sights send it. ALL bismuth tends to be brittle, so might shatter upon impact and thus not get the best results. This alloy seeks to cure that...i have a chance to go black bear hunting but can,t use lead balls in california what and where do i get a non lead ball???
Thanks. Excellent incentive to not live there. No wonder folks are flocking to Texas.no Tom, the felony would occur when asked if it was a compliant non lead load and one responded yes, when in fact it was lead.
500.00 fine for using lead. 15k/5years for lying to a cop. and Calif F&G wouldn't bat an eye charging you.
No, it's in California.What is going on here????? I can't help you man but really? This is in the U.S.??
Still are. More black bear all over than folk realize.sorry if i went a little berserk earlier, just today is an anniversary of sorts. got a old man worked up about the man he used to be, in a place he used to love. born and raised over the mountains to the west of you. spent many years up and down the length and breadth of California.
i grieve for what it has become.
I am grateful that you can even still hunt black bear there. I talked myself hoarse when the initiative was floated to ban Cougar hunting.
enjoy your time with your daughter and best of luck getting a bear.
PS used to be lots of Black Bear around Kennedy Meadows.
Having lived in CA...my suggestion is to move.i have a chance to go black bear hunting but can,t use lead balls in california what and where do i get a non lead ball???
So have you figured it out? Id like to hear your way around using lead. Sounds like a real headache all around but I'm glad people are least hunting still. What are the restrictions on bear hunting like?i have a chance to go black bear hunting but can,t use lead balls in california what and where do i get a non lead ball???
I have .490 and .495 molds both, and I have CA certified material in stock.50 cal 1/48 twist
The BH is 19. I have tested several of the ones I cast a few months ago and the alloy report from ROTO confirms it.LD, any idea of the bn hardness?
couldn't see if it was on the web page?
think i will order some for bore lap and mold making.
cast to .50 balls would be 40+- balls for $18+ if it cast 177g balls. hmmm
This is a question related to your issue for others that may chime in. Would a lead free solder be doable in casting your own? Would it be too light in weight?i have a chance to go black bear hunting but can,t use lead balls in california what and where do i get a non lead ball???
