Non-hunter who enjoys shooting as a sport: it's rare that I encounter non-lead ammo.

It seems that hunting has way more restrictions but I've never been to a range where most/all of the ammo sitting around wasn't lead.

    Another real annoyance is finding lead free air rifle pellets. Especially ones that aren't crap, and doubly so in any caliber other than .177. Apparently it's too much to ask to punch paper or perforate soda cans, maybe whack the occasional rat, and not be distributing lead all over the damn place.
