[QUOTE="jethro, post: 359027, member: 1297"] I think that you guys are onto a winner if you can come up with a plant to do this economically. I think lead contamination will become a big issue with the shooting sports here in Australia. California in the US has some of the most stringent laws in the world regarding the use of lead in ammunition. They even have a ban on lead in hunting rifles in some areas. The ammunition companys have come up with non lead rounds to satisfy EPA in california. As a past member of field and game Vic I know how much lead gets set down range at a typical monthly shoot. A 75 target comp sees me get through about 5 boxes of 25 shells at 28grams of lead per shell. not to mention the plastic wads that get shot away as well. If someone can put together a range cleaning machine that is able to process the top 5 inches of ground for lead and then replace and reseed the soil without causing errosion they will be on a good thing. :) [/QUOTE]
