    I use TTSX for this reason. I watched a you tube video of american wildlife rangers xraying shot game and the lead contamination goes further than the visibly shot meat. TSX kill like thors hammer and turn a 223 into a credible deer round so the only counterargument is the higher cost per projectile. I shoot few enough deer that it doesn't matter.

    For varmiting I just use lead as I don't plan on eating what I shoot. I have standardized on 50g VMax for varmiting so there are lead fragments all over the place with that. They are cheap and kill well though.
    Bol Tackshin, Gkp and Klhari like this.
