Leland Brown is a PhD student who has worked for some time on the idea of lead-free ammunition. Leland and Robbie cover the start of the lead-free controversy, addressing myths about lead-free ammunition (from efficacy, ballistics, terminal efficient, etc) and sets the tone for Leland’s PhD research. There is always significant controversy when one starts talking about lead free ammunition - specifically as it pertains to reducing hunting opportunities and it always comes down to availability and efficacy. Robbie and Leland talk about it all.
