Recently, it was a report came out that said people was being exposed to "deadly" amounts of lead, from game meat even after you trimmed away a huge area from around the wound channel. B.S Way to many 90+ year old picked pellets out of their meat at the kitchen table. I now one such gent, sharp as a tack at 93. So the only way one is going to get lead poisoning from a gun is to be on the wrong end of it..
