Lead Ban Chronicles – Dave Petzal on Lead-Free Ballistic Tip Ammo
One of the blogs I read every weekday is Dave Petzal’s (and Phil Bourjailly) Gun Nut blog, on the Field and Stream site. Not only do I love Petzal’s sense of curmudgeonly humor, he’s also got a ton of excellent information on shooting, guns, and ammo. The comments are also usually pretty spot on.
Anyway, this latest blog entry from Petzal takes a look at Nosler’s newest lead-free offering, which is a new ballistic tip bullet for varmint hunters. I’m not that big of a varmint shooter myself, but this is pretty good info for those of you who are into coyotes, ground squirrels, and other such stuff. Give it a read!
Gave it a read. Read the comments too. Decided not to weigh in. There are places where moderation is simply not welcome. And even I get tired if fighting once in a while.

Sometimes, the best course is to step back and let it roll. This is often the case on the big blogs like Field and Stream. The comments come in so hot and heavy that any attempt at actually saying something gets buried in the noise.
I still comment, often, especially when someone says something really stupid… and sometimes to challenge the supercilious and self-righteous when the get going on topics they obviously know nothing about.
That’s one of those sites where you can definitely see how ANYONE can be an expert on the Internet.

Yeah, I put in enough energy fighting the anti-hunters. I don’t have much left over to fight hunters, even when it pains me to see them saying things that don’t help our cause. At all.
