Court rules against environmentalists seeking EPA regs for lead bullets

“Given that bullets and shot can become spent only if they are first contained in a cartridge or shell and then fired from a weapon,” the environmental groups “have identified no way in which EPA could regulate spent bullets and shot without also regulating cartridges and shells,” precisely what the law prohibits, said the decision by appeals judge David Tatel, a nominee of President Bill Clinton. The other two judges on the case were Patricia Millett and Cornelia Pillard, both nominees of President Barack Obama. 

The details of the ruling is here…

Dove Lethality Study, More in Latest LSON

The Texas Parks and Wildlife Department recently released a multi-year study on lead versus nontoxic load and their lethality on dove.

The report came to some very interesting conclusions; mainly the type of shot used has no statistical difference when it comes to killing dove. To read more about what the study found, pick up a copy of Lone Star Outdoor News, available today online at LSONews.com and on newsstands. Read more

The Good with the Bad: Consolidated and Further Continuing Appropriations Act

GW:  It’s a shame that our elected officials must stoop to borrowing from future generations as a get-along policy to get what they want.  This is the best we can do?  If any of them had a bit of intestinal fortitude to stand up and just defund the EPA, we wouldn’t have to go along with the rest of the nonsense.

 

The National Shooting Sports Foundation supports the Consolidated and Further Continuing Appropriations Act for FY15 and strongly encourages a Yes vote.

Though no bill is perfect, the NSSF supports this legislation because it protects the rights of hunters and sportsmen, not Washington bureaucrats, to choose the ammunition they want for hunting and target shooting, by preventing the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) from banning traditional ammunition made with lead components (95% of all ammunition made and sold).

NSSF encourages you to contact your member of Congress at 202-224-3121 and ask them to vote YES on the Consolidated and Further Continuing Appropriations Act (H.R. 83).

Why Do Some People Reload Their Own Ammo?

GW:  I’m into handloading (not reloading, thank you), because my home-brewed ammo cannot be found in stores.  For example, try to find a 300-grain tipped Barnes in a .45-70 round.  You won’t find it, because it would be dangerous to sell to someone who may put it in a conventional tube-fed long gun.  It could exploded in the magazine under recoil!  However, for a single-shot firearm, such as a Thompson/Center Contender, no problem. 

Plus, it can be loaded longer to, thus closer to the lands in the bore – again, something factory ammo cannot duplicate, because factory ammo must fit in everything, and therefore, must be shorter.  This factors into the accuracy equation, as well, because in my opinion, loading rounds closer to the firearm’s lands produces consistent accuracy.

  And, finally, making ammo that is less expensive, as in the above example is totally irrelevant, because it does not exist anywhere else on Earth.

FERNANDINA BEACH, Fla. — While today’s gun store shelves are filled with all manner of ammunition for every caliber and every type of shooting, many shooters are not content to go with over-the-counter production ammo. Many, in fact, prefer to handload their own cartridges. But there are many reasons for reloading and ShooterSurvey.com recently polled recreational shooters and hunters to find out exactly what the top reasons are.

 

By far, the top response was to save on the expense of buying production ammunition, which can sometimes cost several dollars a round. In fact, 85 percent of those surveyed cited “to save money” as the main reason they handloaded.

 

Sixty-seven percent of those polled cited improving accuracy as a top reason, while 44 percent do it to obtain calibers or loads that are hard to find in stores. Lastly, 30 percent reload to reduce waste and 15 percent cited other, unspecified reasons for handloading. Respondents could chose more than one answer as many have multiple motivations for loading their own ammunition. Read more

Lapua Announces New Products for 2015

GW:  Some new offerings from a truly quality ammo manufacturer…

Few cartridges have generated as much immediate interest as the 300 Blackout. Standardized by AAC, this diminutive cartridge is derived from the 223 Remington. Intended specifically for use in suppressed firearms, the versatility of the Blackout has appealed to a much broader range of shooters than just the audience for which it was originally designed. Intended to drive 220 grain bullets at subsonic velocities, the switch to lightweight bullets such as the 125 grain offerings delivers performance very similar to the venerable 7.62×39 cartridge.

This makes the 300 Blackout potent enough for a wide range of shooting tasks, from certain tactical applications to many short range hunting situations involving medium sized game. The ability for many 5.56mm/223 systems to be switched over to the 300 Blackout, merely by changing barrels makes this an incredibly versatile combination. Read more
