    I'd like to suggest that you fire a single shot, at a clean sheet, at 20 or 30 yards. More than one shot per sheet just muddies the waters. Then post up a photo.

    At 20 yards you should have about a 12 to 15 inch pattern. I suspect the single hole was made by the wad. Post a couple of photos of the gun and the muzzles.

    Oldbloke liked post by csmiffy On thread : Lead Contamination In Game Meat
    From what I have learned over the years, ingested lead (small amount of course) isn't the problem. It is pretty inert in that state. Now lead based fumes are a completely different animal. Like...

    Heading that way,but some Game Dealers keep pushing the date back. With most of Deer head and neck shot I can’t see the issue with lead bullets
