Could be wrong, but I *think* I heard my son-in-law-the-farmer
say that lead ammo was already illegal in his area (Berks County,

A ban on lead shot for water fowl hunting was phased in beginning in 1986
and finalized in 1991. Lead shot is also now banned for shotgun hunting
occurring near wetlands in national wildlife refuges...
