Hell yeah somebody better! That's a huge fine these days, in possession of lead. Just to make it easy on you, remember ALL WDFW PROPERTIES IN WESTERN WA ARE NON-TOXIC ONLY. And no trapshooting, for the most part.

Do you really need to shoot bismuth at $3.00 a shell just to be non toxic?

Post by: chrisb on October 14, 2009, 09:03:13 AM: All of my shotgun's only take 2 3/4" which isn't a problem to find in the 12 ga but 16 and 20 ga steel in #4 are hard to come by in 2 3/4" I'm thinking i may have to go with bismuth in those though because of their age.
