How do Raptors Get Lead Poisoning?
Guidelines for evaluation and treatment of lead poisoning of wild raptors
Lead poisoning is a threat to birds, particularly scavenging birds of prey. With the availability of portable lead-testing kits, an increasing number of field researchers are testing wild-caught birds, in situ, for lead poisoning. We describe guidelines for evaluation of lead toxicity in wild...
Took all of 30 seconds to find these articles. We have a raptor rehabilitation center close by and they have birds with lead poisoning being treated fairly regularly.

You havent sold me one bit on the idea of a copper bullet making any difference to the environment.
Sorry I don't believe you will ever be sold. So quite acting like you might. We get it you like cup and cores and nothings better in your mind. Now move on.
Guy likes to argue. Pretty sure he has me on ignore. His shit was easy to spot the day he became a member. mtmuley
Ya know…. If you care that much you can look yourself, (or don’t, idgaf) and arrive at your own conclusion. Are gutpiles with lead making population level changes to eagles? Probably not.
Apparently, this comes as a surprise to you, but some people don’t want to contribute to an animal dying an awful death on an individual level, and find monometal bullets to work well enough to warrant switching over to them.
Just say you don’t give a shit if the odd eagle or two dies from gut piles with lead in them and keep it pushing. It’s really that simple. Nobody here is obligated to clap like a sea lion for you every time you ask for a link.

Maybe it's the lead fragments that get someone 60 lbs of meat off a big, well-fattened, antelope buck?

I did locate a study supporting Wyoming270.
To get this back on track…
I tried to redeem mine but neither dealer they had listed had what I wanted. The page had an email address listed and it said to send over an email if your preferred ammo isn’t available and they’ll find it elsewhere for you.
Just got an email from them telling me I’ve got a box of Barnes LRX 95g on the way for my 6 creedmoor.
Free box of ammo and good customer service. Win. Win.

They were out of the 300 win ammo I wanted but had the ammo my 243 is sighted in with at selway so went with that. Hopefully I'll get a chance to uphold my end of the bargain.
