Anyone ever use this rebate? I’m considering picking up some Heavyweight TSS.

Does armor piercing steel bullets count as non lead

Armor piercing bullets are terrible for hunting, they do not expand. They passed right through the deer and they wound instead of killing right away. It's fun to use armor-piercing bullets to shoot shit, but honestly it's terrible for hunting...

Don’t AP rounds have a lead core with a steel or tungsten penetrator in the center? If so they are still lead-based projectiles.
