Federal Ammunition Protests Minnesota DNR Rule Banning Lead Ammunition

The Honorable Sarah Strommen
Commissioner
Minnesota Department of Natural Resources
500 Lafayette Road
Saint Paul, MN 55155

Re: DNR Order Banning Lead Ammunition on Some State Lands Dear Commissioner Strommen:

Federal Ammunition has been in Anoka, MN for more than 100 years. We are the world leader in ammunition design and manufacturing, and we proudly employ more than 1,500 Minnesotans. These are high quality local jobs. The city, county and neighbors have historically supported what we do because of the social, economic, and philanthropic benefits we bring to the region.

We are astonished by the recent Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) order banning the use of traditional ammunition on 56 Scientific and Natural Areas (SNAs) across the state. The order will affect thousands of hunters who pursue game within these SNAs each year, and greatly harms one of Minnesota’s economic engines; the firearms and ammunition industries.

Federal’s position on the use of lead ammunition is driven by science, therefore it must be concrete, not theoretic. We support science driven decisions by professional wildlife managers, which in this case is the consumer’s choice. Those same professionals have a responsibility to implement regulations backed by the integrity of facts. Wildlife managers who fail to follow the North American Model of Wildlife Conservation undermine the foundation of the most successful wildlife management paradigms. Read more

NSSF Condemns USFWS Proposed Rule to Ban Traditional Ammunition, Fishing Tackle on New Refuge Openings

WASHINGTON, D.C. — NSSF®, The Firearm Industry Trade Association, condemns the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) Proposed Rule that would ban the use of traditional lead ammunition on 48 new distinct hunting opportunities across approximately 3,000 acres of National Wildlife Refuges (NWRs). This is another illustration of the Biden administration’s Department of the Interior (DOI) and USFWS kowtowing to anti-hunting activists by promulgating policies that lack sound scientific data.

“This is the latest example of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service creating rules that punish hunters, threaten conservation funding and advance special interests without sound scientific evidence that traditional lead ammunition is causing detrimental wildlife population impacts,” said Lawrence G. Keane, NSSF Senior Vice President and General Counsel. “This administration is ignoring its promise to ‘follow the science.’ In fact, it is ignoring the need for scientific evidence in order to advance an antigun and anti-hunting agenda. The need for Congress to pass the Protecting Access for Hunters and Anglers Act has never been more urgent.”

The USFWS announced three national wildlife refuges are proposing to expand opportunities for hunting. These refuges are Cahaba River National Wildlife Refuge in Alabama, Everglades Headwaters National Wildlife Refuge in Florida and Minnesota Valley National Wildlife Refuge in Minnesota. The proposed rule, appearing in the Federal Register, includes proposals to phase out lead ammunition at eight national wildlife refuges. USFWS claims to follow the best available science yet offers no peer-reviewed site-specific scientific data to demonstrate traditional ammunition is causing detrimental wildlife population impacts.

Redding Reloading Equipment Introduces New Die Set for the 41 Remington Special

Cortland, NY….. Redding Reloading Equipment introduces a new 3-Die Set for the 41 Special. A 40-caliber, straight-walled rebated rim cartridge based on a shortened 41 Remington Magnum case which can be used in numerous different handgun and rifle actions. Redding took the lead when this cartridge was gaining attention in 2017 by introducing a special Profile Crimp die for use with the 41 Magnum die set. The 41 Special is now seeing a re-energization with the shooting sports community. With the ability to fit in the longer chambers of the 41 Magnum revolvers, the new cartridge will help shooters enjoy a day at the range or in the field without the heavy recoil of true magnum rounds. The enhanced level of interest demanded a dedicated die set for users of this unique cartridge. This die set will provide the needed capability to produce high quality loadings for hunting and shooting range requirements. Through the last 77 years, Redding Reloading die and die set families exemplify American Made quality and precision as produced in our one facility in Upstate, New York.

Redding continues to add cartridges to it standard product lines as consumer demand and industry support grows. It is also important to note that Redding continues to produce truly “Custom” die sets as well. The Engineering Group at Redding requires only a chamber reamer drawing or 5 fired cases from the firearm in question to quote the production of dies for virtually any caliber and firearm. Prices are quoted on an individual basis depending upon the complexity of the chambering and any need for tooling. Read more

The Association Supports the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service’s Decision to Reject CBD’s Petition

Washington D.C. – The Association of Fish and Wildlife Agencies supports the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s decision to reject a Center for Biological Diversity’s petition to undertake a national rulemaking concerning lead ammunition and tackle on the National Wildlife Refuge System (Refuge System).

Considering state fish and wildlife agencies exercise primary statutory authority for management of species within their borders across all types of land, including those within the Refuge System, we greatly appreciate Director Williams’ commitment to coordinate closely with AFWA and the States on a workable path forward that considers all available science, relies on broadly tested and utilized state approaches and programs, and supports participation in hunting and angling.

We acknowledge this is an important issue, and we firmly believe that continued expansion of hunting and fishing opportunities on America’s lands and waters is essential to our nation’s system of conservation and the wellbeing of people, fish, and wildlife. With more people relying on our natural resources for mental and physical health, subsistence harvest, and recreation, increasing the ability of state agencies and their partners to ensure the sustainable management of fish and wildlife and their habitats is more important than ever.
