Wad development

[DavidJ]

Ah,i see its ok to poison something for a month and when you ad more it poisons them for longer! So a constant source creates constant pollution!

Its used as a sizing agent in industry and they seem to be trying pretty hard to find soya proteins,etc to replace it...

But then people growing soya are doing massive environmental damage to land to make more fields..At least if you can see the pollution you have a better chance of removing it!

Its not toxic...

Here's another example https://santiagotimes.cl/2018/07/27/chilean-company-creates-water-soluble-bag-to-fight-plastic-pollution/

I could post in depth papers about how industry is trying to find replacements but there is no point,anything that is not natural is a polutant and the more there is the more the effect on wildlife.

Just like plastic wads very little of them very little effect.

On that basis; does lead shot qualify as a pollutant ?

Yes,there has been a small debate about it and restrictions in place for years...surprised you missed that?

Or maybe ask a coarse angler?

I was being deliberately pedantic!

As a national coarse fishing representative/politician for 20 years I am/was well aware of the 'leadshot' debate in an angling context.

It just seems a bit rich to be worrying about PVA and or plastic wads when the 'elephant in the room' is the 28grms of lead that accompany the wad into the environment every shot......

I'm working on a prototype paper wad.  I'll have some pix up very soon.

Prepare to be amazed!

Wow an unintentional hole in one!

Lead action group took no action and i believe some countries have rescinded there ban and now allow lead shot for shooting again.

Not quite sure spreading it across a closed area is the same as dumping it in the watercourse?
