Thread: Lead Contamination In Game Meat

I perused a few studies online and sounded like shotgun pellets or solids had some of the lowest levels of meat lead contamination due to lower velocities. The higher speed centerfire projectiles were much more dispersive. Might be one reason so many of us have chewed on shot over their years with no apparent ill effects, though I do wonder if all those roast ducks at grandpas might have dropped a few IQ points out of us grandkids who used to compete to see who found the most pallets. Might explain a few things about some of my cuzzies!
