Yes, potential problems, but...

Don’t have to be solid copper, just not lead.

And this is for hunting - target shooting should be OK.

What is the definition of ‘hunting’ exactly, vs. survival activity, or self defense, or pest depredation, or Gang Banging , or etc.

None of my comments should be interpreted to mean that I agree with any part of gov brown’s agenda!!

“Don’t have to be solid copper, just not lead.”

There is no non-lead 22 cal rimfire ammo!

Also the lead ammo can only be used for target shooting on ‘approved’ shooting ranges.

Non-lead ammo for rifles is very very limited with many calibers having none at all.

There are no non-lead slugs for smooth bore shotguns, only copper sabots that only work in rifled barrel shotguns.

I don’t think there is any non-lead buckshot either.

NO, target shooting won’t be OK, unless it’s on an ‘approved’ target range.

“Opponents of AB711 argued that non-lead ammunition is more expensive and faces federal restrictions because it is technically considered to be armor-piercing. The California Fish and Game Wardens’ Association last week urged Brown to veto the bill, saying there is insufficient data to justify a statewide ban.

A statement issued Friday by the National Shooting Sports Foundation said the new law will amount to a virtual ban on hunting in California. The group says the supply of non-lead ammunition is limited because manufacturers must receive a federal waiver to sell those bullets.”
