9. I use non toxic bullets

even though north Dakota doesn't require them in rifles. After trying the Barnes x I will never go back to lead(several other companies are making copies of this bullet now). Same with their varmint bullets. Better accuracy and far more effective than lead bullets. As to shotgun shells, steel shot was terrible at longer distances and I almost gave up waterfowl hunting. That was until I tried Remington's wingmaster HD, this ammunition is better than lead shot. So, I don't really have a use for lead projectiles of any kind anymore. The non toxic alternatives are just way more effective. I don't know why anyone would even want to use lead now that we have this more lethal ammunition.
